Have you ever landed on a website to read an article or find out more about a product when suddenly the page elements shifted? Or maybe you missed the button right as you were about to click it and ended up clicking a pesky ad instead?
It’s probably fair to say that you had an unpleasant experience on the website.
A pretty common request for WooCommerce sites is the need to include additional field inputs on the single product page and output them on the front-end. I’m going to explain how to do this using the excellent Advanced Custom Fields plugin (free version).
There will be a little bit of coding involved but don’t worry, it’s all very straightforward. And there’s the added satisfaction of knowing you can now extend WooCommerce in a powerful way.
I’ll explain a number of different use-cases with examples for each. I’ll be using our Shoptimizer WooCommerce theme but the code snippets should work for any WooCommerce theme.
Let’s get started!
With the right single product gallery plugin, you can enhance the visual appearance of your online store and make your product pages look pleasant and appealing. It’s also a great way to help customers make an informed buying decision.
Here’s why:
If you sell products that need multiple images to best showcase them such as t-shirts (you want to show the front and back), shoes (different angles), and computer mice (you want to show the top view and side views), you need a good single product gallery plugin to help you display WooCommerce product galleries on the single product page in a user-friendly way. This way, you’ll be able to make your products look more attractive.
Google rolled out its Page Experience update algorithm in 2021 that factored in page experience as a ranking signal.
As of now, Google uses more traditional and objective signals like on-page targeting and PageRank. However, the change will include page user experience in the SERPs.
To stay on top of these upcoming changes, you need to understand the different aspects of page experience and take measures to optimize your website for them.
If you sell products that can be customized or personalized then you’ll need a quick and easy way to let customers provide additional details with their order. The easiest way to do this is by using the free Product Addons for WooCommerce plugin.
You can add fields to your product pages that customers can use to add notes, make special requests, or let you know how they’d like to have their product personalized. It’s a simple way to enhance your product’s value for buyers and, potentially, increase sales.
