However, if your store does not consider longevity, then you may encounter trouble over time. You may see serious problems such as the product page loading slowly, the extension stop running, and even serious problems such as data loss or security vulnerabilities.
These are the problems that will eventually lead to one thing: the reduction of paid customers is reduced or completely lost.
In order to keep your WOOCOMERCE store profitable, you need to consider long -term stability, safety and performance when building it . Let’s take a look at how to build a WooCommerce store that can last for several months, years, or more.
Starting from or shifted to reliable and scalable hosting
As a plug -in WordPress, Woocommerce inherits the same flexibility as its father’s software: You can choose to host its company, install it on the new server or the server you have used, and allocate it as much as possible for it as possible.
This flexibility is a good thing, but it may also cause some complications. Things may begin, but as you grow and need more resources to go downhill. If your store’s host has insufficient power or slow response, you may be frustrated …
and
see sales loss.
The best way to avoid this situation is to start or consider migrating to a reliable website host with the ability to grow with you
. The host should provide the following options:

Starting to protect your store from the first day This may be difficult to accept. But you need to understand: If you have an online store, then you are the goal
.
It doesn’t matter how new, small or more niche your store is. The fact that you are collecting customer information, receiving and transporting products that make you and anyone who have the right to visit your store in the sight of criminals.
It will not spend too much time or money to protect your store -in the long run, it will be rewarded.
Fortunately, It does not take much time to protect your Woocommerce store, and even the smallest effort can maintain your data security for a long time. You may be surprised to find that the best way to keep safety is free, for example:
Select Security password
When logging in
Use dual identity verification (including your email, social media, WordPress.com account, etc. -hackers may first try to access your information to reset your other passwords)
Do not use the default \”admin\” login
Enable the security function of Jetpack , such as Jetpack Protect, which will prevent malicious login attempts (and spam comments!) ] These are all disposable operations and will not spend any cost. As long as your store is still there, you can ensure the safety of you and your customers. You may still be a goal, but once it is difficult to get your data, hackers will give up and transfer to other places.
There are more feasible ways to protect your store-try the security reminder of these new stores, And the intermediate suggestion that anyone can use, whether you are a novice of Woocommerce or for many years. Use backup to protect your data Your store is full of important data, from customer information to product details to the content you created.What if your host occurs on a large scale and lose all data?

to consider.

Select the additional component from a well -represented source The beauty of open source solutions like Woocommerce is of course the openness of them. If you need your store to do something you can’t do at present, you only need to find the right extension. No one will stop you from adding to your store in any way you like. But as they said, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Of course, this is suitable for you … but
is suitable for the development of these plug -ins, extension and additional components.
Plug -in and extensions are a source of problems that are often ignored
. If the Wookommerce expansion program is not updated or maintained, it may have a significant impact on your store’s operation method, especially when you often use the extension program. Now take it to ten, twenty or one hundred, and you will see how serious the longevity of your longevity is.

Quality Support
– If the plug -in is free, will the question on the wordpress.org pages be answered in a reasonable time? If it is paid or just provided elsewhere, can you read the opinions of their response time, support level, and ability to solve problems?
We absolutely suggest that you evaluate any provider of any given plug -in or extension, just like evaluating the function of the plugin itself. If your extension stops working normally in your store after the update, and developers have no interest in solving problems, you may encounter major problems.
For example: If you use a third -party expansion program to enable new product types in the store, but but WordPress’s major update destroys the extension. You may not be able to sell this type of product until the problem is resolved. Selecting expansion from reputable developers means that this is unlikely to happen because they may test it before these main updates

If necessary, set a regular calendar dating for your update. The emergence and length of these update cycles should be based on the number of extensions you have and when it is most convenient for you.
