For your product to be effectively displayed online, you'll need product pages that are appealing and user-friendly. The template that comes with default features basic features, but you might be looking for additional features to accommodate your unique requirements for your store's online presence and to match the style of your store.

With built-in customization tools like the block editor and the Site Editor, WordPress enables you to create significant modifications to the pages of your products without significant knowledge of development. Plus, you can obtain specific design options as well as additional functionality through various extensions. If you're a more skilled WordPress users, then you can alter your pages' content using the custom code.

In this post we'll take a look at the default page for products and explain why you might want to customize the page. In the next post, we'll demonstrate three ways to modify the templates of your products.

What is a product page?

If you add it to your WordPress website, the plugin instantly creates a Shop page where you'll be able to list your products. If someone clicks an item from your catalogue, they'll be taken to the product's page. The layout of this webpage will depend on your theme, but it should contain important information about the product.

You can add or edit these details by clicking on your products tab in the menu bar on your WordPress dashboard, selecting your product, then clicking Edit Products. Alternately, choose "Add New" to make a brand new product.

This page is where you can also choose the category of your item and add tags. These options allow customers to browse your catalog of products more easily.

After you've finished setting up a product, hit the Update button. Here's what a default product web page could look like on the front page:

As you can see, the product page has everything you need to market your products on the internet. Note that the template that you will see at the front page of your site is the same for all products.

Why you should customize the product's page

Then, why would you alter the page of your product if it works just fine?

Well, perhaps you don't need to any more.

If you prefer a minimalist layout and are only looking for essential features to sell your items, you may not require any changes. It's not a requirement that you have tocustomize product pages and the default options have worked just fine for thousands of successful store owners.

That said, the standard design of the product pages can be limiting. There's for instance, no option to add other types of media like video files or variation colors.

It's a simple approach that could be useful for some online shops. Others will require more options to increase sales.

With this in mind, you should customize your product page if you'd like to:

• Provide more information about the product you offer. If you provide customers with all the necessary information, it may be easier for them to make an informed decision (and to purchase). You can add a product FAQ section, variations pictures, 360 swatches videos, and so on.

Three ways to customize the pages of products

Now, let's examine three ways that you can personalize your product web page!

1. By using the Site Editor

The great thing about WordPress is that its native tools are great for beginners. Because of the Site Editor it is not necessary to be a programmer for creating amazing custom pages for your products .

The Site Editor functions exactly the same way to it's Block Editor. However, while it is used for pages and blog posts it is a Site Editor that allows you to customize global elements like your header, footer, and even the design of your page.

Note that you can only use the Site Editor with the block theme. If you're using a classic theme, you'll have to reference step three of this article.

Additionally, the information on every page on your product can be changed only by going to the Products tab and accessing the page using the editor in the backend (as previously mentioned). The next thing we'll create is to customize the components as well as the design of your product page.

To begin To begin, visit Appearance - Editor and select Templates.

Scroll down to the section and then select Single Product. Scroll down to the section and select Single Product template.

After that, you can click on the pencil icon to start the template editor.

At first, you'll see that the template has been grayed out.

Simply click on the template and you'll be asked to transform this template in blocks. Click the transform into blocks button to proceed.

You can now modify your page's content by using blocks.

In case you're not acquainted with WordPress blocks, or the Site Editor, here are a few useful ways you can tweak this page:

Modify the layout of your page

To alter the layout of your page you need to click on a larger block and then choose the block that is its parent.

Your horizontal menus should show arrows that allow users to shift that portion of the screen left or right.

You're also able to shift blocks or groups of blocks both up and down.

In addition, if you wish to include a block just hover over the area in which you'd like to place it and then click the plus symbol.

If you're looking to alter the layout of your website, then adding blocks to columns or groups make the best sense.

You can also modify the global template layout by selecting it and then opening your block options.

In Layout You'll be able to select the choice of changing the purpose and positioning of the design. You can even transform it into a "sticky" element - that means it doesn't go away whenever users scroll down the page.

Once you're pleased with your changes, press your Save button that is located on the upper right of the screen.

Colors can be changed and typography changes.

To modify colors in the Site Editor, select the component you want to change and then open your block's settings to the right.

The components you are able to alter are contingent on the block, but generally, you are able to alter the text, background, and link colors.

As a default, you are able to choose from your theme's default color scheme.

If you click the area that says "No color", you'll get the color selector.

In this section, you are able to drag the mouse to pick a shade. The Site Editor can inform you if you've chosen a color with poor contrast.

You can also input specific HEX, HSL, or RGB colors. This is ideal as it allows you to match your exact company colors.

Within the Tab for Typography tab, you can modify the text's size to medium, small or large.

To open more font settings Click on the three dots next to Typography..

There are a lot of choices in this section. Just click to select these and then save them in the typography menu.

It is possible to deactivate these options if you decide that they aren't necessary.

Make new blocks

Do you want to include additional elements to the website's product pages? The Site Editor makes it feasible.

If, for instance, you're conducting a sale across the entire site, you could add one of the banner blocks to the at the top of your design.

It's a good idea to be familiar with available WordPress block and so you can see what options you have.

Create different types of pages for products

As you've learned that there are a variety of ways to modify the template for your pages within the Site Editor. Any changes you make will be reflected on all your product pages.

In certain situations, you might want a template that's only used to promote a particular type of product or category. For instance, you might need a completely unique page for an item that you're planning to launch. You might also want to develop a sale site for a particular segment of products during the Christmas season.

To make multiple templates to serve different purposes, go to Appearance - Editor - Templates. Then, click on the plus symbol to add a new template and choose the single item, Product.

This lets you create a new product page template with only one option. Select the item you wish to use from the menu to open The Site Editor.

By default it will prompt you to use a pre-existing pattern. Your first choice should be the general template for your product page.

Utilizing a pattern that is already in use can help fast-track the design process. But you can always bypass this process if you prefer to start from scratch.

When you go back to the Templates screen and hit the plus symbol again to add a new template, there will be an option for you to choose Category (product_cat).

This template will be for a specific category such as clothes, accessories, or even decor.

Select your desired category, then begin building your template. These steps are exactly similar to the Single item: Product option.

2. Utilizing extensions

If you're using a block-based theme Site Editor lets the user to alter your page template in different ways, without touching one line of code.

But it's not giving you the ability to extend the capabilities of your page. Fortunately, there are plenty of extensions to help you accomplish this, regardless of whether you're a beginner without technical skills.

CSS works in the same way here as it does in the Editor for Sites.

In the child theme's style.css file

The last location where you could include CSS to WordPress is in your theme's style.css file. It is important to coordinate with your child theme to make sure that the changes you've made don't get lost in the changes.

Click on the Appearance tab and then to the Theme Editor.

As a default, your style.css file should be selected. If it's not, select it on the right edge of the screen under the Theme Files menu.

Then, you can include any CSS in the last line on the page. You'll just need to update the file when you're done.

Utilizing PHP

CSS can be used to alter the design of WordPress However, it won't assist you in adding functionality to your pages for selling products.

If you want to do this manually using codes, you'll have to use PHP. You can add PHP codes to the children theme's functions.php file or using a plugin like Code Snippets.

Here are a few options you might want to try if you're an experienced WordPress user or developer:

hooks (actions as well as filters)

This is an instance of beneficial procedure:

/**  * Allow shortcodes in product excerpts  */ if (!function_exists('_template_single_excerpt'))     function _template_single_excerpt( $post )        global $post;        if ($post->post_excerpt) echo '' . do_shortcode(wpautop(wptexturize($post->post_excerpt))) . '';     

/**  * Display product attribute archive links   */ add_action( '_product_meta_end', 'wc_show_attribute_links' ); // if you'd like to show it on archive page, replace "_product_meta_end" with "_shop_loop_item_title" function wc_show_attribute_links()  global $post; $attribute_names = array( '', '' ); // Add attribute names here and remember to add the pa_ prefix to the attribute name foreach ( $attribute_names as $attribute_name )  $taxonomy = get_taxonomy( $attribute_name ); if ( $taxonomy && ! is_wp_error( $taxonomy ) )  $terms = the wp_get_post_terms function( $post->ID and $attribute_name ) the $terms_array is an array() array(); if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) $terms = foreach ( terms as $terms ) the$archive_link = Get_Term_Link( $term->slug attribute_name, $term->slug );$full_line = to"' . $archive_link . '">'. $term->name . '';       array_push( $terms_array, $full_line );                  echo $taxonomy->labels->name . ': ' . implode( ', ' . $terms_array );                     

/**  * Reorder product data tabs  */ add_filter( '_product_tabs', 'woo_reorder_tabs', 98 ); function woo_reorder_tabs( $tabs )  $tabs['reviews']['priority'] = 5; // Reviews first $tabs['description']['priority'] = 10; // Description second $tabs['additional_information']['priority'] = 15; // Additional information third return $tabs; 

Also, you can include a tab that you have created:

/**  * Add a custom product data tab  */ add_filter( '_product_tabs', 'woo_new_product_tab' ); function woo_new_product_tab( $tabs )  // Adds the new tab $tabs['test_tab'] = array( 'title' => __( 'New Product Tab', '' ), 'priority' => 50, 'callback' => 'woo_new_product_tab_content' ); return $tabs;  function woo_new_product_tab_content()  // The new tab content echo 'New Product Tab'; echo 'Here\'s your new product tab.'; 

To learn more about how to use these features, take a look at this complete listing of hooks.

A template for global pages

When working with PHP code for , another alternative is to create a global custom product page template completely from the ground up. Remember this will not work with block themes.

To begin, you'll need to name your new file template-custom-product.php and write an opening PHP comment at the top, stating the template's name:

In this scenario in this scenario, it might be beneficial to change "Example Template" by "Global Custom Product Page Template" or something similar.

The template is modeled after the default product page. You can then alter it however you like by using web hooks.

Get more sales through a custom product webpage

Customizing your product page can help you effectively showcase your products. It also enables you to provide more choices to your customers and create a unique customer experience that draws in your target audience. Like we've already seen, there are several ways to edit the page.
