How Do I Create a Custom Product Page in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 12:55 pm

To create a custom product page in WooCommerce, you’ll need to create a new product template file. This can be done by duplicating the existing single-product.php file and adding your own customizations to it. To do this, first make sure that you have a child theme activated. Then, open up the WooCommerce folder and find the single-product.php file.

Copy this file and paste it into your child theme’s folder. Now, you can edit this file to add your own customizations.

For example, let’s say that you want to add a custom field to the product page. To do this, you would first add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file:

// Add a custom field to the product page
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'my_custom_field' );
function my_custom_field() {
    WooCommerce_wp_text_input( 
    	array( 
    		'id'                => 'my_custom_field', 
    		'label'             => __( 'My Custom Field', 'woocommerce' ), 
    		'placeholder'       => 'Enter a value', 
    		'desc_tip'    => 'true', 
    		'description'       => __( 'Enter a value for this field.', 'woocommerce' ) 
    	) 
    );  
}

This code will add a new text input field to the “General” tab of the product data section. Note that you can change the label, placeholder, and description values to whatever you want.

Next, you need to save the value of this field when the product is saved. To do this, add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file:

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or are not comfortable working with code, we recommend that you seek help from a developer or designer to create a custom product page for you.
// Save the custom field when the product is saved
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'my_custom_field_save' );  
function my_custom_field_save( $post_id ) {  

    $my_custom_field = $_POST['my_custom_field'];  

    if( ! empty( $my) ) {  

        updatePostMeta($postID,'myCustomFieldKey',$myCustomField);  

    }  

 }

This code will save the value of the text input field when the product is saved. Note that you’ll need to replace “myCustomFieldKey” with your actual custom field key.

Finally, you need to output the value of this field on the front-end of your site. To do this, open up your child theme’s single-product.php file and find the following line of code:

<?php doAction('woocommerceProductBefore');?>

Just below this line, add the following code:

// Output our custom field value
echo getPostMeta($postID,'myCustomFieldKey');</pre >

And that’s it! You’ve successfully added a custom field to your WooCommerce product pages.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, creating a custom product page in WooCommerce requires adding some code snippets to your functions.php file and then editing your single-product. By doing this, you can easily add new fields and information to your product pages without having to edit any core WooCommerce files.
