    I need so much help. I want to start selling products on my site. How do I set up all of the taxes, shipping costs? I want to set up payment methods. This is so confusing to me. How do I do this through Woo-commerce?

    I have a product that I wanted to test buying. I set it up as variable product thats taxable. I set up it’s shipping weight and dimensions. For shipping class the only option it gave me was No Shipping Class. I added it’s attributes. I added it’s variations. I updated the product so when I go to it, it’s able to be purchased in two sizes. I add a size to the cart. I need help beyond this point. How do I set up the checkout for people to pay with a credit or debit card, taxes, shipping prices. I’m lost after this point. I tried to do it myself but its confusing. Something else thats kind of annoying is when I click the cart to see whats in it, it takes me to the homepage. When I click the cart I want it to take me to either the cart or checkout page. It doesn’t take me to either of those, it takes me to the home page.

    Hi there,

    The following steps might help you with your Cart button redirect back to Homepage issue:

    1) When you installed WooCommerce plugin it automatically created the following pages for you – Shop, Cart, Checkout and My Account. Make sure all these pages are in PUBLISHED status and not DRAFT status. If they are still in Draft status, go ahead and publish all those pages.

    2) Go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Checkout, make sure your Cart page is set to “Cart” and your Checkout page is set to “Checkout”. You can find both drop down options under the Checkout pages section.

    Just a note, if your site is self-hosted, and not hosted on WordPress.com, you might be able to find more help on WordPress.ORG WooCommerce Support Forum as this public forum is for providing support for sites hosted on WordPress.COM

    If you are curious to know the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you can read them here

    I hope it helps.
