πŸ› οΈ Creating & Managing Configurations

WC Studio lets you create reusable Configurations β€” custom setup profiles that include themes, plugins, PHP settings, and more. These are perfect for speeding up new store creation and maintaining consistency across projects.

πŸ“ Go to: WC Studio β†’ Configurations


βž• Creating a New Configuration

You can create a configuration by capturing the current setup of an existing store.

βœ… Steps to Create:

  1. Navigate to Configurations
  2. Click β€œAdd Configuration”
  3. Choose an existing store to base your configuration on
  4. Name your configuration (e.g. β€œFashion Starter Stack”)
  5. (Optional) Add a description for clarity
  6. Click Save Configuration
Your new configuration will now appear in your configuration library.

🧩 What’s Included

When creating a configuration, WC Studio captures:
  • βœ… Active Theme
  • βœ… Installed Plugins
  • βœ… PHP Settings (e.g. memory limit, execution time)
  • βœ… WordPress/WooCommerce base settings
  • βœ… Environment configuration (Live, Staging, Dev)
πŸ’‘ Customizations not stored in the plugin or theme database (e.g. media files, content) will not be included.

πŸ“₯ Applying a Configuration

You can use saved configurations during new store creation:
  1. Go to Create New Store
  2. Choose β€œCreate From a Configuration”
  3. Select one of your saved profiles
  4. WC Studio will auto-install the selected theme, plugins, and settings
This makes it incredibly easy to launch niche-specific or client-ready stores in minutes.
