woocommerce setup for selling lots of certificates

Hi @i316hv0c

Thank you for reaching out — we’re happy to help!

What kind of woocommerce setup would you recommend to sell lets say more than two thousand different career certificates?

Let’s go ahead with clarifying things further, therefore, putting us in a position from where we can assist further.

Is this about a new, or existing, store? (independently of technology)

How about any functionality already in place? Which of the core product types sounds a better fit, and why?

Are the customers going to choose from different certificate designs, perhaps, or otherwise? What is the business about?

We look forward to your response. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thanks very much for the answer.

We want to create a new store.

We are an academy and are authorized to issue certificates such as the “Food Hygiene Certificate”.
Our customers cannot receive such certificates directly from us. They must apply to us and receive a short face-to-face training (or not for some certificates). We will not provide trainings online.

We want to introduce the certificates we have and encourage customers to contact us through our store or buy them directly.
There are a lot of certifications and we also want to do affiliate marketing too.

Customers should get information about the certificate by selecting the certificates from the list (or if there is a better option), they should be able to obtain the certificate through the store or by contacting us.

I hope I was able to explain and that such a system exists.

Hi @i316hv0c

Thank you for providing more details about your requirements. It’s much appreciated.

For your new site, considering you have more than two thousand different career certificates to sell, you might consider using the WooCommerce Product Table plugin. It allows you to list your products in a table layout, which is ideal for your large number of certificates. Customers can easily view, search, and sort the certificates.

You can create a product for each certificate and add detailed information about the certificate. You can also add a “contact us” button on each product page for customers who want to get more information or apply for face-to-face training.

You may use the WooCommerce Checkout Field Editor plugin for the checkout process. This plugin allows you to add custom fields to your checkout page, which can be used to collect additional information from your customers, such as their certificate details. You can even use the Products Addons plugin to add extra features and prices to the certification program.

Regarding affiliate marketing, WooCommerce has an extension called Affiliate For WooCommerce. This extension can help you manage your affiliate marketing efforts.

In addition, if you offer the certificate renewal feature, you can use the WooCommerce Subscription plugin. Plus, AutomateWoo will serve as your handy Swiss knife for a superior marketing companion.

Please note that at WooCommerce.com, we’ve covered you with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If any of our plugins don’t work as expected, you can request a refund following our detailed guide here: https://woocommerce.com/refund-policy/#requesting-a-refund

Please note that these are just suggestions based on your requirements. Many other plugins and extensions are available that you might find useful. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
