A WooCommerce website has different and unique needs compared to other types of websites. For starters, the amount of time the store is online is one of the most important aspects to consider. It almost needs to be an obsession for a savvy store owner.
WooCommerce staging is one tactic to help you keep your ecommerce store live, while still enhancing and updating it.
In a general sense, a staging site is a copy of your live site that isn’t accessible to the public. This is an oversimplification, but if you think of it in this way, you’ll begin to see what it can do for you. With a staging site in place, you can carry out updates, test design choices, and work on your site without impacting the live store.
