WordPress agency Bright Vessel were designing a website for Foothills Montessori School. They used our WooCommerce Product Table plugin to enable the school to take bookings for their upcoming summer camps.

The website features multiple product tables on the same page, each listing a particular category of events.  It uses the column options in WooCommerce Product Table to choose which data to display about each event. Students and parents can see the event date, description and price - everything they need to decide which events to book.

The add to cart buttons in the product table make it easy to book events from a single page. This is much easier than having to visit a separate page for each event. Parents simply choose all the events their child wishes to attend and adds them to the cart, all from one page.

Learn how to do the same on your own site in our tutorial about WooCommerce events bookings.

The Games Den

The Games Den sells a wide range of board games, tabletop games, and card games and provides space for gaming. They’ve used the WooCommerce Product Table plugin to list new arrivals in a neat table layout on their online store.

How our plugin solved their problem

The Games Den were looking for a way to list new arrivals on their website to make it easy for customers to find the games and accessories they were looking for. This involved displaying the product’s image, name, and description in a neat and organized way.

They used the WooCommerce Product Table plugin to list new arrivals on their Latest Arrivals page. To do this, they simply added a product table to their page and selected their latest products to showcase in it.

The product table features a total of five columns – to show each product’s image, name, description, price, and buy buttons.

When a customer lands on the Latest Arrivals page, they can quickly see all of the latest products The Games Den offers. They can use the category filter dropdown above the table to only see products from a specific product category such as Tabletop Games, Miniatures, and Accessories. They can also sort the items in the table alphabetically or by price (low-to-high or high-to-low) using the sortable columns.

Yarn Gate sell premium yarns and wools for wholesale and trade. They use our WooCommerce Product Table and WooCommerce Quick View Pro plugins to list wholesale products in a table, with 'Select color' buttons that open up a quick view lightbox. They also use our WooCommerce Wholesale Pro plugin to allow wholesale users to register and get special pricing.

Logged in trade users can select colors from the quick view lightbox and add to the cart. They then return to the list of yarns, where they can continue adding more products to their order. This is much more user-friendly than the standard WooCommerce grid layout because wholesale customers can see more products per page, and purchase color variations without being taken to a separate page for each item. This speeds up the buying process and maximises sales.

Yarn Gate have achieved this fantastic setup by combining the following plugins:

• WooCommerce - the world's leading e-commerce plugin, used to add their products and take care of shipping etc.
• WooCommerce Product Table - lists the products in a wholesale-friendly table layout.
• WooCommerce Quick View Pro - this Woocommerce wholesale quick view plugin adds lightbox popups to speed up the buying process.
• WooCommerce Wholesale Pro - add a wholesale area with special B2B pricing.
• WooCommerce Variation Swatches and Photos - allows customers to click on a color to select a variation in the quick view lightbox.

Provenance Meat is a global exporter of ethically farmed, high quality New Zealand lamb. They needed to create a WooCommerce food order system to sell lamb to chefs and restaurateurs all over the world.

After researching suitable plugins, they discovered our WooCommerce Product Table order form plugin. They used the plugin to create a user-friendly WooCommerce food order form. The order form is professional, clean and simple-looking to match the rest of the website. There are columns for product image, SKU/code, product name (cut), price, plus multi-select add to cart checkboxes with a single 'Add Selected to Cart' button at the end of the order form. Customers can use this one-page order form to see all the information they need, select products and add to the cart in a single click.

Provenance Meat have cleverly hidden any unnecessary elements from their food order form to keep it clean and simple looking. For example, they have hidden the search box and pagination buttons because they are not needed on an order form of this size. They did this using the options that come with WooCommerce Product Table.

The food order form on this website uses a membership plugin and is only available for logged in customers. You can achieve something similar with our WooCommerce Private Store or WooCommerce Password Protected Categories plugins.

Please note that WooCommerce Product Table comes with a price column to display costs in the order form. We have removed the prices from the screenshots for confidentiality reasons. Provenance Meat have added their WooCommerce food order form to an area of the website that is only visible to logged in customers.
