Topic Tag: How to build a site with Toolset

Problem:
I would like to start using WooCommerce to sell products, because of inventory control, multiple images, etc.
Is there a way to use the woocommerce features to make the site more robust, friendly, manageable, etc

Solution:
Yes you can use WooCommerce and move your existing products into the WooCommerce. The steps would be as follows:

1. Install & activate WooCommerce.
2. Re-add products manually into WooCommerce products post type, for better stability and to avoid issues. And add your product images, price, etc.
3. Till here you will have the standard WooCommerce Shop page and product pages.

4. Optional: after that if you would like to display it using Toolset, you can use Views, and WooCommerce Views plugin to display data anywhere you would like to show:

For automatically transferring your existing post type products into WooCommerce products, you can also use a plugin like “Convert Post Types” to convert your existing post types to be used as WooCommerce products:
