Do you want to increase customer conversion rates in your online store? Are you not being able to customize your store the way you want? In this post, I will help you find the right WooCommerce shortcode for a specific functionality so you can easily make your store more professional.
WooCommerce Shortcodes Tutorial
This video will show you how you can install the WooCommerce shortcodes plugin and insert a WooCommerce shortcode of your choice into a page easily.
WooCommerce Shortcodes for Pages
When you first install WordPress it automatically creates 4 pages that are required to run your store – Shop, Cart, Checkout, and My Account. These pages have shortcodes that WooCommerce includes from its core. So if WooCommerce couldn’t create a page for some reason or you accidentally deleted it, you can recreate it with the proper shortcode and specify in the settings.
WooCommerce Shop Shortcode
Shop page is your store page. It showcases all of your WooCommerce products and presents to your visitors. Currently, there is no shortcode to customize the content of this page. WooCommerce can automatically detect when the shop page is loading and list your products accordingly.
WooCommerce Cart Shortcode
WooCommerce creates a Cart page for its shopping cart functionality. This is the cart shortcode:
[woocommerce_cart]
The cart shortcode does not accept any additional parameter/argument. It shows the content of the shopping cart such as item details, coupon codes, shipping, taxes etc.
WooCommerce Checkout Shortcode
Checkout page provides the checkout functionality for your customers. This is the WooCommerce shortcode for the checkout page:
[woocommerce_checkout]
The checkout shortcode does not accept any additional parameter/argument. It shows all the information which will be collected from a user during checkout such as billing info, shipping info, payment method etc.
WooCommerce My Account Shortcode
My Account page shows a dashboard to the logged-in customers. This is the WooCommerce shortcode for the My Account page:
[woocommerce_my_account]
A customer can view their past orders, downloads, and update their personal details such as billing info, shipping info, account password from the My Account page.
WooCommerce Order Tracking Form Shortcode
Order Tracking Form page is not created automatically by default. This is an optional page that you can manually create to let a customer check the status of an order. This is the WooCommerce shortcode for the Order Tracking Form page:
[woocommerce_order_tracking]
In order to see the status of an order, the customer needs to enter their order details in the Order Tracking Form.
