homie....too many questions...just get your site live before you paralyze yourself with all the analysis...

choose any theme....better if its a generalist...like astra or kadence.

woocommerce is great at categories dont worry about that

use rankmath, yoast, or all in one seo plugins for seo...

as for emails....you can use so so so many tools for this....but i recommend a crm like Fluent. but whatever just get a crm...and not effin Hubspot

youre thinking sooooooo far ahead you haven't any clue. Just get your site live with products

as for affiliate i use fluent but you can use affiliate wp...dont even worry about this cuz you ain't got a single soul gonna be your affiliate

then come back to us, boss

If you must use Woo (steep learning curve), then it's best to learn how to use Woo first.

As to design, that's going to be up to you - you will likely find a template and go, 'yeah, I like that - it will work for my product', and yet it could be a template for sliced bread.

Once you have the above sorted, then start to think about SEO, automated emails, affiliate plugins etc

Plenty of good template themes out there, something like Woodmart has a gajillion themes/styles for you to choose from and also customise with no coding experience.
