Business site or store? Start with the customer’s next step

Portfolio visual example; not research data.

What the documentation says

WooCommerce documents product and attribute management. A catalogue is only part of planning an operational store. [1]

How I would apply it

My recommendation: if each order needs a custom quote, start with a catalogue and inquiry flow. A store fits a business ready to manage pricing, stock, payment and fulfilment.

Before you start

Your working checklist — selections stay on this page only.

Sources & documentation

Primary documents support the marked paragraphs. Recommendations are professional interpretation, not academic research or a promise of results.
