 * Tried to post on the official site but looks like I have to pay to post there.
   Hopefully someone here can help.
 * I have a site already up and running, but I want to install WooCommerce in a 
   folder (e.g. [http://www.mysite.com/shop](http://www.mysite.com/shop)). Is there
   an easy way to do this?
 * Do I have to install an entire second instance of WP in that folder and then 
   install WooCommerce in it? is there a way to just install WooCommerce into a 
   folder without having a second full WP running? Just looking for any advice.
 * Thanks.

 * If you add WooCommerce to an existing site, then by default the shop page will
   be domain.com/shop
 * If you want a totally new WordPress install ( with WooCommerce ) in a subdirectory
   of “shop” then install WordPress there, add WooCommerce, etc.

 * If I install it on an existing site, then the store has to share the same theme
   with the rest of the site, right? So if I want the store to look different, then
   I’m assuming I’d be better off with a separate install.
