Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to take the “out of stock” banner that appears on the out of stock items in the storefront. I only have products stocked once a month and don’t want hide all the products but I also don’t want a huge banner that says “out of stock” as soon as they visit my store.

when the customer buys something, does this take the customer to a different website (navigate them away from your WordPress site) ? hmm. i think you answered that question at 25:04. appears the customer will remain on the WordPress site, which is great. i really hate it when i'm on a site and click to buy something and i am taken to a different website

Great tutorial But I'm stuck at the Advanced page. The fields came up blank and I don't know how to restore default. I've added the pages like you have here and it's taking customers to the shop page but there doesn't seem to be a "check out" page. How do I set that up. It seems like this is an essential missing element. It doesn't matter how all the other pages and fields are set up if it's not taking folks to a page where they can put in their payment to order. And I installed the WooCommerce Payments app. Help!

I feel guilty asking this because your presentation is SO thorough. However... Nowhere could I find (twice through) a reference for a digital download product. Been toying with the idea of leaving Kindle and putting my books on a WooCommerce page integral to my site. Don't have a 'store' for physical products, just 3 books formatted for Kindle. What say you? Thanks for all your efforts here.

@@StewartGauld I've already tried Shopify, didn't find it very straightforward and not willing to pay $39/month. I haven't seen a CMS that I thought was easy to use. I manage a website that uses Drupal and it's an absolute nightmare - I've given up on updating and I'm two revs behind. I'm the point on Woocommerce where I'm adding/editing my products, but it's not fast. And there are 25 menu choices across the left sidebar, with no guidance from woocommerce on how to get started. There's so much functionality and options built in, that it makes it unwieldy and confusing.
