Elementor offers a powerful, visual way to design and customize your WooCommerce product pages. Whether you're looking to tweak a single product layout or completely overhaul the default template, Elementor and Elementor Pro can help.
Understanding WooCommerce Product Page Basics
By default, WooCommerce uses a standard layout for all product pages, which includes the product title, gallery, price, and add-to-cart button. Elementor helps you override this using its drag-and-drop editor for WooCommerce products.
Knowing how WooCommerce structures its product pages will help you better understand what you're editing. Each component is rendered dynamically using PHP and shortcodes, but Elementor Pro provides an intuitive visual way to manipulate these elements.
Using Elementor Pro's Product Page Builder
With Elementor Pro, you get access to the WooCommerce Product Template Builder, allowing you to create a global template or unique pages for each product. This is especially useful for stores with a uniform product presentation style.
- Go to Templates > Theme Builder in your WordPress dashboard.
- Click Single Product and then Add New.
- Select a pre-made block or create a layout from scratch.
- Use dynamic widgets like Product Title, Image, Price, and Add to Cart.
- Add styling, spacers, and unique brand elements to match your theme.
- Click Publish and set display conditions (e.g., for all products or specific ones).
How to Customize a Single Product Page Layout
If you want to edit a specific product page instead of applying a global layout, Elementor gives you that flexibility as well. This is ideal for featured or seasonal products that require a unique presentation.
- Open Products > All Products and click Edit on the desired item.
- Click Edit with Elementor.
- Customize the layout visually using widgets and styling options.
- Add custom sections like customer reviews, video demos, or trust badges.
- Update and preview your design before publishing.
Essential Widgets for Product Template Customization
Elementor Pro provides specialized widgets to help you build your custom WooCommerce product pages. These widgets dynamically pull product information, so you don’t have to edit content manually every time.
| Widget | Function |
|---|---|
| Product Title | Displays product name dynamically |
| Product Image | Main product photo or gallery |
| Product Price | Live product pricing |
| Add to Cart | Interactive purchase button |
| Product Rating | Shows average customer rating |
| Product Meta | Shows SKU, category, and tags |
| Short Description | Includes a brief overview of the product |
Use these widgets to design WooCommerce product pages visually with complete flexibility. You can arrange them in various combinations and even apply conditional visibility rules.
