Page Setup

Pages need to be set up so that WooCommerce knows where to send users to perform certain actions:

• shopping cart page: This page displays the items in the customer's shopping cart.
• checkout page: The customer enters payment information and submits the order on this page.
• My Account Page: Registered customers can view orders or update account details on this page.
• Terms and conditions: This page displays the terms and conditions.

On sites that are not served over HTTPS, the page setup area will also display theMandatory security checkoutSetting.

It is not necessary to use the pages created during WooCommerce installation, but you must have a page for the shopping cart and checkout pages. Otherwise, customers won't be able to buy and pay for your products.
