SharkCrates sells reusable wooden shipping crates through their website. Because of the variety of wood crate sizes and specifications, they chose to use our WooCommerce Product Table plugin to power their product table.

They've added a product table to their product descriptions. It gives them extra flexibility when listing products and multiple variations. Each product is listed with custom fields where the technical data for each product is stored. Each column in the product table lists data from the custom fields.

As all the crates are listed in one product table on a single page, it's easy for customers to compare the crates as all the info is listed side by side in the product table. Columns show the dimensions, weight capacity and stacking strength. Plus, an image of each crate is embedded into the table for customers to expand for a closer look.

The table can be sorted by seven different column headers. So if you know the dimensions you need or your maximum budget, you can just sort the table by dimensions or price.

Nate at SharkCrates is really happy with how the WooCommerce Product Table plugin works and equally as happy with our video tutorials:

Inspire Cosmetics is a US-based cosmetics company offering customers affordably priced cosmetics. They have used WooCommerce to create a responsive and user-friendly Build Your Own Experience Box product.

The WooCommerce Product Table plugin supports the pick-your-own experience boxes. Thanks to a multi-step page, customers add products to their experience boxes in simple stages. First, they choose their experience box. Next, the customer selects the box contents from two lists. And finally, the order is completed with the WooCommerce cart and checkout.

The WooCommerce Product Table works alongside two other plugins - the Beaver Builder WordPress page builder plugin - used to create the tabbed layout. And the WooCommerce Min-Max Quantity plugin, which makes sure customers select the right quantities. This means Inspire Cosmetics can sell different sized boxes with different validation rules.

When used creatively, WooCommerce is a great tool for selling made-to-order products and bespoke experience boxes. See for yourself how the Inspire Cosmetics' experience box product builder works.

Calne Without Parish Council is a parish council in the county of Wiltshire in the U.K. They have a website where you can find local news and useful information about the area. It keeps all the parishioners up to date with the council's news and activities.

The website also has a WordPress document database which stores all the archived documents alongside new ones. Anyone can access the database at any time. The archive contains a wide range of information including meeting minutes, agendas and public notices. So with more than 340 documents, they needed a good system to help people find what they're looking for. That's why the document database page is powered by our Posts Table Pro plugin.

It's a simple but effective table. There are just three columns. And you can sort each column by clicking on the title. The documents are in chronological order with the most recent document at the top. But it's easy to filter the documents if you only want a certain year. This is done using the two dropdowns at the top. One's for the year, the other's for the type of document. And there's even a handy search function to speed up the search if you know exactly what you're after.

The Kitchen at Middleground Farms is a cooking experience for foodies, set on a working farm in Oregon, USA. The Kitchen offers a range of cooking events from making pasta to using pressure cookers and everything in between. They use our Posts Table Pro plugin with Events Calendar to sell cookery courses in WordPress.

The cookery courses are added to WordPress using the Events Calendar plugin, with tickets on sale using its Event Tickets Plus add-on. They weren't happy with the default layouts that come with the Events Calendar, so they combined these WordPress events plugins with Posts Table Pro. As a result, the events are listed in an interactive table layout that makes it much easier to find and book an event.

The Kitchen's class list displays all the cooking events and courses coming up at the farm. Customers can browse the full list of cookery courses and read a short description of each course. The list can be sorted by the event date, price or course name. To speed things up, a search function lets the customer quickly find a course based on specific keywords.

By clicking on the course name, the customer can find out more about a cookery class. This takes them to a new page (provided by Events Calendar and Event Tickets Plus), where they can book onto the course.
