Subdomain with WooCommerce

  • Resolved kword

    I have the big services site and I want to add woocommerce store to it.
    I’ve decided to have the store as a separate site on subdomain in order to better performance and speed.

    How to do this correctly?
    Will sites must have separate WordPress installation?

    I may need to display products on the main site. Will I be able to use woocommerce shortcodes? Should I use the multisite?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Good questions. WooCommerce does work on multisites, but only the plugins are shared between sites, not the database (and you’d need a separate license for each sub-site). That means that orders and products would not be shared between sites.

    If you put WooCommerce on the sub-site, you would not be able to display products from this sub-site on the main site easily. You would likely need to use the REST API or export the products in some way, assuming you wanted more than just the link to the product page.

    WooCommerce does include shortcodes, which you can read about here, but, again, those are for use on a single site, not across different sites.

    Ok, understood.
    Then does it make sense to separate the services site and product store? It is planned up to 1600 products, 20 categories, about 20 attributes and a lot of tags. I want to work filters and search fast.
