Hello everyone! I'm a newbie in e-commerce and I'm going to build my own online store with WordPress, I want to make e-commerce website for pet supplies. I know WordPress is a very powerful platform, but for a beginner like me, it feels a bit complicated and I don't know where to start.

Now I have a bunch of questions and I'm really hoping people can help me:

Selection of theme: Any recommendations for e-commerce themes? I know WooCommerce is important, but there seems to be a lot of theme choices, and I'm not at all sure which one to pick that's better for newbies. Are there any easy to use themes that don't require too many complicated operations?
plug-in (software component): Besides WooCommerce, what other plugins are mandatory to install? There are so many plugins, I don't even dare to install them indiscriminately for fear of making it too complicated and the site won't work well instead.
SEO optimization: What a complete blind spot SEO is! I don't know where to start and it feels like if I don't get traffic, no one will even look at the site! Are there any easy SEO plugins or tutorials you recommend so I can get started quickly?
Payment and logistics settings: I'm also confused about payment methods and logistics setup. Does anyone have any experience to share? Is there a plugin or step-by-step process that will make it simple for me to set up these processes to avoid getting it wrong?
security issue: Security must be a concern for e-commerce sites, right? Are there any recommended security plugins, or measures to prevent hacking? After all, there's a real concern about security when dealing with customer information and payments.

I'd really appreciate it if someone with experience could give me some advice or point me in the right direction! I hope to build the site soon to avoid stepping in too many potholes.

  Being a newbie in e-commerce, there must be a lot of questions circling around you, but don't worry, let me answer them for you 😎 1. Theme selection Newbie recommended to use Astra or Kadence, these two e-commerce theme is super simple, direct replacement of images and text can build a professional website, do not need to know the code.Woodmart although powerful, but too many features for newbies, easy to slow down the progress. Use Astra or Kadence first, and then upgrade to Woodmart once you are familiar with it! 2. Necessary plug-ins WooCommerce (online store core) Rank Math SEO (seo optimization) Wordfence Security UpdraftPlus (website backup) in case you slip and change the wrong thing or the site was hacked, a key can be restored back, can be said to be a lifesaver, because I have my own operation of a clothing site, accidentally adjust the price of the time, the product is all gone, fortunately installed this plug-in, or people did not have? 3.SEO optimization It is recommended that you directly install Rank Math SEO plugin (simple and most of the features for free), just follow its guidelines: Focus on writing original content such as pet care and product usage guides, make sure each product page has a green excellent SEO score, and keep the site accessible, so traffic will come naturally! 🚀 4. Payment and logistics Payment methods can be prioritized to integrate Stripe, which is the most commonly used payment method overseas 💳 Logistics settings, set shipping cost by country in WooCommerce backend, support full amount of free shipping, billing by weight, etc., easy to handle! 5. Install Wordfence security plugin, update the system and plugin in time, use strong password is ok. Follow these five steps, you can build a safe, professional cross-border e-commerce website! Wish you success to make a lot of money 💰! Ask me anytime you have questions~ 😁!
