How Do I Bypass WooCommerce Single Product Page?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:08 pm

WooCommerce is a great ecommerce platform for small businesses and entrepreneurs. It’s easy to use and has a lot of features that make it a great choice for those looking to start an online store. However, one of the drawbacks of WooCommerce is that it doesn’t have a built-in way to bypass the single product page. This can be a problem if you want to sell products that are not physical goods, or if you want to offer a product that is only available in limited quantities. In this article, we’ll show you how to bypass WooCommerce single product page and sell your products directly from the shop page.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Product Archive Shortcode plugin.

For more information, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, go to your WooCommerce settings page and click on the “Products” tab. On the products page, select the “Archive” tab from the top menu.

On the archive tab, you will see an option to “Enable shortcode for product archive pages”. Check this box and click on the “Save Changes” button.

PRO TIP: If you are considering bypassing the WooCommerce single product page, please be aware that this could have negative consequences for your online store. Bypassing this page could result in lost sales and decreased traffic to your site. Additionally, it is important to note that WooCommerce is constantly updating and improving their product pages, so bypassing them could mean missing out on important new features.

Now that the plugin is enabled, you can use the [product_archive] shortcode to display your products on any page or post on your WordPress site. Simply add the shortcode to the content editor and your products will be displayed.

If you want to control how your products are displayed, you can use the following attributes with the shortcode:

  • columns: Specifies the number of columns to display.
  • orderby: Allows you to sort your products by price, popularity, or rating.
  • order: Allows you to control whether products are sorted in ascending or descending order.
  • show_price: Displays or hides product prices.
  • show_rating: Displays or hides product ratings.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, it is possible to bypass WooCommerce’s single product page by installing and activating the WooCommerce Product Archive Shortcode plugin. This will allow you to use the [product_archive] shortcode on any post or page on your WordPress site to display your products. You can also use various attributes with the shortcode to control how your products are displayed, such as specifying the number of columns and whether or not prices and ratings are shown.
