The how-to PDF for this theme does not match what actually happens

It goes off the rails almost immediately – as soon as I start setting the plugin up, actually. Here's what the PDF says I will see:



This is what I actually see:


Compare the steps listed across the top. They do not even vaguely match, and as I try to go through the steps to set up my website, I can verify that the directions in the PDF are 100% wrong.

I don't want to sell products from my website; I just want to refer people to Amazon. But when I try to set up the WooCommerce, it's requiring that I set up Stripe or PayPal so that I can accept payments myself on my site. I don't want to mess with any of that and according to the PDF, it's a choice. According to the WooCommerce, it's not.

Thank you.

 

Sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly, but if I skip setting up WooCommerce, doesn't that mean that I can't use their plugin on my website? I'd like to link to Amazon, just not to my own products (at least not right now – that may come later). But isn't the WooCommerce plugin how I connect to Amazon products and have them show up on my site?

Thanks for the quick response!
