How to Create Pages ( Shop, Checkout, Customer Dashboard) with EasyCommerce
You'll need three pages to complete essential tasks on your ecommerce site: a Shop Page to showcase products, a Checkout Page for seamless purchases, and a Customer Dashboard Page for users to manage their accounts and orders. If you haven't followed the Setup Wizard process, then this guide is for you.
The last two will require you to manually insert a special shortcode into the pages to acquire the desired functionality, and here’s how you do it.
Start by logging in to your WordPress dashboard, then navigate to Settings > General > Pages from the side menu.
Shop Page
Step 1: Create a Shop Page
Click Add New Page to create a designated page for your shop, typically titled Shop or Shop Page.
Ignore this step if you have already made a page while setting up the setup wizard.
Step 2: Add Shop Block
Click the + icon near the block section or in the top-left bar. Use the search bar to find Shop and select the result to add a shop block.
Step 3: Save Changes
Once the shop block is set, click Save in the top-left bar or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard to finalize the changes.
Checkout Page
Step 1: Create a Checkout Page
Click Add New Page to create a designated page for your shop, typically named Checkout or Checkout Page.
