The WooCommerce Product Table plugin lists products in an interactive table view. This article contains a complete list of all the plugin options, with links to full instructions for each option.

Where to manage your table options

You can configure the most popular options directly in the table builder, whereas the more advanced options are managed on the 'Edit table' page or on the plugin settings page:

• Add Table - These options are available when you use the table builder to create a new table (Products → Product Table → Add New).
• Edit Table - These options are available when you edit a table (Products → Product Table → Edit).
• Settings Page - You can set defaults for these options on the settings page (Products → Product Table → Add New). These will be used for all your new tables, and you can override the defaults n in the shortcode for each individual table.
• Shortcode - Available as shortcode options so that you can configure them directly in the [producttable] shortcode. Shortcode options override any options set in the table builder or on the Edit Table or settings pages.

The list of options below indicates where you can manage each one.
