6 minutesWhat version of PHP is needed for WooCommerce?
WooCommerce officially recommends PHP 8.3 or higher. For most stores in 2026, PHP 8.4 is the best production choice, giving you strong performance and a mature plugin ecosystem, with PHP 8.3 a safe, well-supported alternative and PHP 8.5 the newest option. WooCommerce will still run on PHP 7.4 as a technical floor, but PHP 7.4,…

8 minutesWhat is the difference between a static and dynamic website?
A static website serves pre-built files that look the same to every visitor until someone edits them. A dynamic website builds each page on request, pulling content from a database so it can change per user, per login, or in real time. Static wins on raw speed, security and cost; dynamic wins on functionality, personalisation…

8 minutesHow much does WooCommerce maintenance cost?
A WooCommerce maintenance service plan typically costs around £30 to £300 or more per month, depending on your store’s size, complexity and the level of support you need.

7 minutesDo I need Elementor Pro for WooCommerce?
No, WooCommerce runs without Elementor. The question is worth widening, though, because as posed it assumes you are building the store on a page builder.

7 minutesHow do I create an API in WooCommerce?
Before writing any code, check whether you need to. WooCommerce ships a full REST API covering products, orders, customers, coupons, and reports, with key management built into the admin. For a more complex integration boundary, see what APIs are essential for iGaming software integration. For connecting a CRM, a shipping provider, or an inventory system,…

11 minutesWhat is the best multi currency for WooCommerce?
The best multi-currency setup for WooCommerce depends on one question you should answer before comparing any plugin: do you only need to display prices in local currencies, or do customers also need to pay in them at checkout? That single decision rules out half the options. For a store already running WooPayments in a supported country, the built-in multi-currency…

7 minutesWhat happens if I change my WordPress theme?
When you change your WordPress theme, your content stays and your design changes. Posts, pages, media, users and plugin data live in the database, independent of the theme, so nothing is deleted by the switch. What transforms is presentation: layout, typography, colours and structure all take on the new theme. What you tend to lose…

7 minutesCan you sell products on WordPress without WooCommerce?
Yes, and for a narrow set of cases it is the better choice. Digital downloads, a handful of services, memberships, a single product alongside a content site: all of these work with something lighter than a full store platform. What decides it is not the product count but whether you need order state. If you…
