There are two ways to install WooCommerce. If you are new to WordPress, use the Automatic Installation. For best results, ensure all other plugins are deactivated prior to setup of Woocommerce and your theme to reduce potential conflicts.

- Click Yes to any confirmation that appears and WordPress will automatically complete the installation.
- Install may take several minutes depending on your server speed and available memory.
