It was pretty easy to install plugins from WordPress Plugins Add New areas of the dashboard. It gives you a cornucopia of options to choose from. So you can start searching for one that your site needs. I need to add a way to sell stuff on mine.
It was just a quick search and a click on the install button and I was adding features to my site. Then all you have to do is activate the plugin. Some of them required further tweaking of the setting. Others you had to take care of on the home dashboard on the top.
Some even have a wizard to help you further set up plugins and even recommended additional plugins to build upon features of the plugin you just installed. I had to add some banking features that required some financial accounts to be set up. It went pretty easy not as straightforward as Shopify but once you are familiar it becomes easier.
I did break my website and had to restore it so make sure you backup before you implement changes. Some require other plugins to be installed before they can work. Also, the theme is something to consider with plugins. Some don’t work nicely together.
I am a fan of plugins. They truly change the way your site will behave and appear to the world.
