How Do I Add an External Product to WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:57 am

Adding an external product to WooCommerce is a simple process. First, you need to add a new product from the WordPress admin panel.

Go to Products > Add New. Enter the product name, price, and other relevant details. In the Product Data section, select the External/Affiliate Product type from the drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add an external product to WooCommerce, please be aware that there are a few things you need to do first in order to ensure a smooth process.

1. Make sure that the product you are adding is compatible with WooCommerce. Not all products will work with the platform, so it’s important to check before proceeding.

2. If the product is not compatible, you may need to find a different eCommerce platform that can accommodate the product.

3. If you are adding a digital product, make sure that you have all of the necessary files and links ready to go. You don’t want to start the process only to realize that you’re missing something important.

4. Have your payment gateway set up and ready to go before starting the process of adding the product. This will make things much easier down the line.

5. Take some time to familiarize yourself with WooCommerce’s interface and how it works. This will help you avoid any surprises or confusion later on.

Now, you need to enter the product URL in the External Product URL field. You can also add Button text which will be displayed on the product page.

Once you are done, click on the Publish button to publish your external product.

Now that you know how to add an external product to WooCommerce, you can start promoting affiliate products on your WooCommerce store.
