Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:44 pm

WooCommerce is a great eCommerce platform for WordPress. It is packed with features and is very flexible.

One of the great things about WooCommerce is that it has a ton of shortcodes that you can use to add functionality to your site. There are WooCommerce shortcode plugins that add even more functionality to your WooCommerce site. In this article, we will take a look at how to use WooCommerce shortcode plugins.

WooCommerce shortcode plugins are great way to add extra features to your WooCommerce site. There are a ton of different plugins available, so you can find one that fits your needs.

Most plugins will add a new shortcode that you can use in your posts and pages. To use a plugin, simply install and activate it, then add the shortcode to your content.

Here are some examples of popular WooCommerce shortcodes:

  • [ products ]: This shortcode displays a list of products on your site.
  • [ product_categories ]: This shortcode displays a list of product categories on your site.
  • [ product_attribute]: This shortcode allows you to display a single product attribute on your site.

To find more WooCommerce shortcodes, check out the WooCommerce documentation. You can also search for “WooCommerce Shortcodes” on the WordPress plugin repository.

Installing and Activating Your Plugin

Once you have found the perfect plugin, click “Install Now” and then “Activate”. Once activated, you can begin using the new features by adding the appropriate Shortcode into the content area of any post or page on your website.

Adding Shortcodes in Posts and Pages
There are two ways to add Shortcodes into WordPress posts and pages:

1) The first way is by manually typing or copy-pasting the Shortcode into the post or page content area while in Text mode:

2) The second way is by using the Shortcode block when working with the new Gutenberg editor: Simply add a new block and select “Shortcode” from the list of available blocks:

3) After adding the Shortcode block, you can then insert the desired Shortcode into its own block:

4) Once done, don’t forget to save your changes!

And that’s all there is to using Shortcodes in WordPress posts and pages! As you can see, it’s quite easy to do.

PRO TIP: While WooCommerce Shortcode Plugins can be helpful in extending the functionality of your WooCommerce site, it is important to note that not all plugins are compatible with all versions of WooCommerce. Additionally, some plugins may conflict with others, so it is important to do your research before installing any plugin. As always, backup your site before making any changes.
