How Do I Add a Sample Product to WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:00 pm

Adding a product sample to WooCommerce is a great way to encourage customers to try your products. By offering a sample, you can increase the likelihood that customers will purchase your products. There are a few ways to add a sample product to WooCommerce.

One way to add a sample product to WooCommerce is to create a new product and select the “sample” product type. This will allow you to add a short description of the product, as well as the sample file itself. Customers will be able to download the file and try it before they purchase the full product.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with adding products to WooCommerce, it is recommended that you seek help from a WooCommerce expert before proceeding. Adding a sample product to your WooCommerce store can be done by following these steps:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and select Products from the left-hand menu.
2. Select Add New from the top of the page.
3. Enter a product name in the Product Name field and then enter a description in the Product Description field.
4. Scroll down to the Product Data section and select External/Affiliate Product from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter a URL in the External/Affiliate Product URL field. This is the URL that your customers will be taken to when they click on the product name or image.
6. Upload an image of the product in the Product Image section.
7. Set a price for the product in the Regular Price field and then click Publish.

Another way to add a sample product to WooCommerce is by using the “Add Sample” button on the product page. This will add a link to the sample file on the product page, so customers can click on it and download the file.

You can also add a sample product to WooCommerce by using the “Upload File” button on the product page. This will allow you to upload a file from your computer and attach it to the product. Customers will be able to download and try the file before they purchase the full product.

Adding a sample product to WooCommerce is a great way to encourage customers to try your products.
