How to Design a WooCommerce Store with Elementor

Want to build a customer-friendly and attractive WooCommerce store without coding with Elementor? We know Elementor makes it easy, but many users struggle due to a lack of proper guidance. Plus, some essential features are locked behind the premium version, limiting creative freedom.

But don’t worry, in this blog, we’ll show you how to design a WooCommerce store with Elementor with exciting widgets.

5 Steps to Design a WooCommerce Store with Elementor

Designing a WooCommerce store involves several key steps to ensure a smooth setup and quality design. Here’s a structured approach:

• Step 1: WooCommerce Shop Page Design
• Step 2: WooCommerce Single Product Page Design
• Step 3: WooCommerce Cart Page Design
• Step 4: WooCommerce Checkout Page Design
• Step 5: Order Receive Page Design

So without further ado, let’s start step by step.

Step 1: WooCommerce Shop Page Design

To design a WooCommerce Shop Page with Elementor, you have to face some limitations, such as feature limitations, a premium required, and unlimited design variants.

So, to use extra free features and WooCommerce templates, we’ll use the Ultimate Store Kit Free plugin. It removes Elementor’s limitations, giving you access to premium-level store design without the extra cost.

So, first of all, install and activate Ultimate Store Kit on your WordPress site to get started.

Now, time to set up Ultimate Store Kit. Navigate to Ultimate Store Kit >WC Widget or EDD Widget tabs in the Ultimate Store Kit dashboard to activate and manage the widgets suitable for your store.

Now we will design the shop page. Go to Ultimate Store Kit > Template Builder in the sidebar. Create a new template by clicking Add New Template > Choose the type of template > Shop Page

Type the name of your template and select active, then press the Create Template button.

Now, the template will be open with the Elementor editor. From the left side bar, drag and drop widgets onto the layout.

Then the basic interface of a shop page appears.

On the sidebar, you will get the Ultimate Store kit widgets. Use the editor’s widgets to drag and drop widgets onto the layout for more customization. Also, design and customize as desired from the Edit Container side bar. Then, publish and check the shop page.

Step 2: WooCommerce Single Product Page Design

Since we are again using the Ultimate Store Kit template to design a single product page, let’s first set up a template.

Go to Ultimate Store Kit > Template Builder >Add New > Choose Template Type > Single Page, name your template, and hit Create Template.

The template opens in Elementor Editor for customization. Choose a layout structure that fits your store’s style.

Use widgets or the ready-made single product page from Ultimate Store Kit for a quick setup.

This is how it will look by default, a ready-made single page, but you can customize each element and layout as you like.

Now, design & Style Your Product Page and customize product elements—title, pricing, tabs, related products—with 80+ widgets. Fine-tune typography, colors, spacing, and layout for a sleek, professional design.

Step 3: WooCommerce Cart Page Design

In this step, we will create a cart page, so go to Ultimate Store Kit >Template Builder in the sidebar. Create a new template by clicking Add New Template > Choose Type of Template > Cart Page.

Type the name of your template and select Active, then press the Create Template button.

Now, the template will be open with the Elementor editor.

In the Elementor editor, find the Ultimate Store Kit section where various eCommerce-related widgets are listed. The Cart Page widget is highlighted in the image.

Click and drag the Cart Page widget to the main editing area where it says “Drag widget here.” This action places the widget on the cart page layout, allowing you to customize the design and functionality.

After adding the widget, you can adjust styling, layout, and display options within Elementor to match your store’s theme and branding.

Once satisfied with the design, click the Publish button to save and apply your changes. The cart page is now updated with the Ultimate Store Kit’s enhanced cart functionality.

Step 4: WooCommerce Checkout Page Design

This step in designing the WooCommerce Checkout Page. As before, to create a checkout page, you need to create a template. So, go to Ultimate Store Kit > Template Builder > Add New Template  > Choose the type of template > Checkout Page.

Type the name of your template and select Active, then press the Create Template button.

Now, the template will be open with the Elementor editor.

Then locate the Ultimate Store Kit section in the sidebar. Look for the Checkout Page widget among the available options.

Select the Checkout Page widget and drag it into the designated area where you want the checkout form to appear.

Once placed, customize the settings such as field arrangement, button styling, and responsiveness to ensure it matches your website’s design and branding.

Depending on the widget’s customization options, you can add express checkout buttons, adjust payment gateway displays, and refine the overall checkout experience.

Once your checkout page layout is finalized, click Publish to apply the changes. Customers will now see a structured, user-friendly checkout process designed using Ultimate Store Kit.

Step 5: Order Receive Page Design

Now, to design the Order Receive Page, you need to create a template. Navigate to Ultimate Store Kit > Template Builder > Add New Template.

Choose the template type as Order Receive Page. Enter a name for your template, mark it as Active, and click Create Template. The template will now open in Elementor Editor.

In the Elementor sidebar, locate the Ultimate Store Kit section. Find the Order Receive widget among the available options.

Drag the Checkout Page widget into the designated area where you want the checkout form to appear.

Adjust field arrangement, button styling, and responsiveness to align with your website’s design and branding.

Utilize widget customization options to enable express checkout buttons, modify payment gateway displays, and enhance the overall checkout experience.

Once satisfied with the Order Receive page layout, click Publish to save the changes.
