What sort of coding/web development experience do you have?

If you are looking for setting up a online store then I recommed PHP. It’s open source and supported in mostly 99% of server environments and you can create your product pages very well and can easily manage them more than any other coding.

Use OpenCart, its free and open source.

WooCommerce on Wordpress is also pretty easy to set up (my wife managed with zero input from me)

WooCommerce is great. Easy to use and set up, as mentioned.
Magento is also a great option, but a bit more tricky to set up.

Yeh, for a really basic store with only a few products, stick with something like WooCommerce.

+1 for woocommerce. Fast, feature rich, easy to use and relatively easy to setup!

Magento would be my pick but only for an established business with a dedicated inhouse guy to manage it or company on retainer.

Hi everyone

So I have set up my Woocommerce store, thanks for the advice!

I need to get the order details out of the MySQL database, and have tried to get the information into Excel using MySQL for Excel, but I cannot seem to find the order information.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?

PhpMyadmin has an export facility that will let you export data from the database tables to a .csv file which you can then open and use in Excel.
