How to Customize WooCommerce Product Page

Are you looking for ways to customize your store and improve your customers’ experience? We’ve got just the right article for you! In this guide, we’ll show you how to customize your WooCommerce product page to help you increase your conversion rates and boost your sales.

Why customize the WooCommerce product page?

The design of your product page is an integral part of your customer’s shopping experience on your online store. Your products are the most unique and distinguishable part of your WooCommerce store. So you should customize your product page and make sure it highlights your products and services. This includes convenient product page sections such as additional detail sections, size charts, different image previews for product variations, additional ordering options, and more. And that’s just adding more content. You can also re-order these sections, remove the default ones, redesign them, and much more.

Regardless of what you do, your main goal should be to improve your customer’s experience on your WooCommerce store. This will naturally help you increase your sales. If your site is easy to navigate and users can find what they’re looking for easily, they’re more likely to buy, come back, and recommend your store. For example, you can add direct checkout buttons to help them buy quickly, include comparison charts to help them choose the right product, or add unique variation carousels to display all the options for the single product’s variations.

There are also nifty lead generation elements that you can add to improve your product’s sales by customizing your product page. This includes adding related products for additional sales, upsell/downsell items, and much more.

Now let’s have a look at the different options you have to edit your product page in WooCommerce.

Customize the product page with Direct Checkout

Now let’s have a look at how you can edit the product page in WooCommerce using Direct Checkout. This freemium tool has more than 60,000 downloads in the WordPress repository and will help you increase your conversions. The free version has basic features, so to take your product page to the next level we recommend one of the premium plans that start at just 19 USD (one-time payment).

Let’s have a look at some of the things you can do with Direct Checkout to customize your product page.

1. Add quick buy button

One of the most interesting options that this tool offers is the possibility to add a quick buy button. This way, the checkout process is much faster.

Instead of adding the product to the cart, go to the cart page and then to the checkout page, your customers will be able to buy in just a few clicks. And the best part is that it’s very easy to set up.

After installing and activating the plugin, go to WooCommerce > Direct Checkout > General, turn on the redirection, and set the following options:

  • Added to cart redirect: Yes
  • Added to cart redirect to: Checkout

Save the changes and that’s it! Now when users press the quick buy button, they will skip the cart page and go directly to the checkout page.

For more information about quick purchases, have a look at our guide on how to add a quick buy button to your store.

2. AJAX add to cart

AJAX add to cart is another excellent feature of WooCommerce Direct Checkout. The AJAX add-to-cart function allows customers to include products in their carts without having to reload the entire site. This improves user experience and will help you increase sales. On top of that, as the pages don’t need to reload so many times, it reduces bandwidth and server load.

To activate the AJAX add to cart feature, go to WooCommerce > Direct Checkout > Products and enable the Add AJAX add-to-cart option.

If you don’t want to install any third-party plugins on your site and you have coding skills, you can also customize the WooCommerce product page programmatically. Let’s see how to do it.

2. How to Customize WooCommerce Product Page Programmatically

Another alternative is to edit the product page in WooCommerce programmatically. We don’t recommend this method for beginner users, but if you know what you’re doing and want to add custom features to your product page without any additional tool, this is an excellent option.

For this, we’ll use nifty codes built around WooCommerce Hooks. If you’re not familiar with them, check out this full guide about how to use WooCommerce hooks. The guide also provides you with information about how to customize WooCommerce template files, which is a great option if you want to edit your store.

There are many things you can do if you know how to code. For this demonstration, we’ll focus on how you can remove or reorder elements from your WooCommerce Product Page. If you want more examples of things you can do, you can check out our dedicated guide on how to edit the WooCommerce Product Page programmatically.

NOTE: As we’ll edit some core files before you start make sure you create a full backup of your site. Additionally, we recommend you use a child theme. To do so you can either create it or use any of these plugins.

Removing Elements from WooCommerce Product page

To add these codes, open your WordPress Theme editor in your WordPress dashboard by going to Themes > Theme Editor. Then, click on the Functions.php file on the file list in the far right column. Here, you can add your own WooCommerce scripts to start customizing your store.

WooCommerce provides you with several hooks to customize any element in your shop. These hooks work with specific elements, so you need to use the right hook with the right function and the right priority value to remove or reorder these elements. You can view all the hooks and their related parameters on this page or the content-single-product.php file of the WooCommerce plugin.

Now, let’s take a look at how you can add a script to remove the product meta, description, and rating stars from your WooCommerce product page.

For this, simply paste the following code in your functions.php file:

// remove rating stars
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_rating', 10 );
// remove product meta 
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40 );
// remove description
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20 );

Then, click on the Update file, and your WooCommerce Product page should have these elements removed.

Re-ordering WooCommerce Product page elements

You can also re-order WooCommerce product page elements using hooks. By default, WooCommerce elements have their own priority order. If you’re not familiar with them, you can check out this page.

Now to re-order elements, you can just remove the element and add them back using the add_action hook. You can then add your own priority order on the hook, so the elements appear in your preferred order.

For example, if we want the description section to appear right after the title, we can give it a custom priority order of 6. Since the title has an order of 5, this will add your description right under it.

To do this, add this script to your functions.php file and click Update File.

// change order of description
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 6 );

These are just a few examples of what you can do to customize your WooCommerce product page programmatically. However, there are many other things you can do. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out our dedicated guide on how to edit the product page using code.

3. Edit WooCommerce Product Page using Page Builders

Page builders are a universal answer to customizing your WooCommerce pages. This not only includes your product page but any other page on your site. WordPress Page Builders have the added ability to set and use WooCommerce page templates. This way, not only can you use a wide variety of custom elements to customize your product pages, but also use pre-designed templates and pages to make your life easier.

There are a wide variety of page builders compatible with WooCommerce that you can use. Even though they work similarly, they have some differences, so we recommend you check out our dedicated guides to help you customize your product pages.

Bonus: Customizing your WooCommerce Elements using CSS

You can also explore the option to customize your WooCommerce elements by adding CSS snippets to your WordPress theme. This lets you explore ideas such as customizing font sizes for titles, buy now button colors, and much more.

To add CSS snippets to your WordPress theme, go to Appearance > Customize and click on Additional CSS.

Here, you can add CSS snippets and customize any element you want. There are a lot of things you can edit but to give you some ideas, we’ll leave a few snippets below. Moreover, you can use this HTML color picker to find the right hex code for you to add to your color CSS codes.

Change Product Title Font size
.woocommerce div.product .product_title {
font-size: 42px;
}

Change Product Title color
.woocommerce div.product .product_title {
color: #AAb733;
}

Change Buy Now button color
.woocommerce div.product .button {
background: #000000;
}

After adding your snippets, remember to click Publish to finalize the changes.
