Hello sir,
Can you please guide me to a plugin for e-commerce? I have a showroom of TVs, fridges, and washing machines. I want to sell these items online. I have my own domain, hosting, and the WooCommerce plugin. But I'm not sure about the payment gateway, CCs, PayPal, banking transactions, debit cards, etc. Should I buy a payment gateway or do I need to buy an SSL certificate? Is there any extra cost for that?

Hi Indu,
Have you watched our video tutorial series for WooCommerce?
That video tutorial series is designed to answer all these questions and more.
To your last two questions, yes, you will need to set up at least one payment gateway (we recommend Stripe and/or PayPal), and will also need to purchase an SSL certificate for your website in order to process payments.
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much sir. one more thing i want to ask you that Paypal is workable in INDIA? Because someone told me paypal is not work in india.
Indu you will need to contact paypal to see if this works in india ,i dont think shaun will know unless he calls and asks them for you and he's probably really busy :/ hahahaha

It appears that PayPal works in India, but with significant limitations. You may not accept payments from other purchasers from within India, for example. That basically limits you to only accepting payments from people outside India.
Further, you may only use debit or credit cards for payments through PayPal. You cannot use your PayPal balance to make purchases using PayPal.
These limitations make PayPal nearly useless in India.
I would recommend you consider an alternative like Payoneer, 2CheckOut, or even Pay with Amazon, all of which claim to work in India.
Hope this helps!
