How does WooCommerce Product Table work?
The WooCommerce product listing plugin lets you create as many tables as you like using the easy table builder. This takes you through all the most popular options step-by-step.
You can choose where to display each product table on your WordPress site:
- Select which WooCommerce shop pages the table will appear on. (E.g. the main shop page, category archives, tag archives, product search results, and so on.)
- Insert the WooCommerce product table to any other pages on your site using either a Gutenberg block or simple shortcode. With this option, you can either list all products in the table or select specific products based on ID, category, tags, date, status, type, and more.

What can I display in the product table?
Your WooCommerce product listing can include any of the following columns: ID, SKU, product name, description, short description, date, last modified date, product image, reviews, stock level, product categories, product tags, product attributes, custom fields, custom taxonomies, weight, dimensions, price, sub-total, variations, and add to cart buttons and/or checkboxes (with or without quantity selector).
You can also choose which products to list in each WooCommerce table. There are lots of options to choose which products are included (or excluded) in the WooCommerce table. Select products by category, tag, custom field, taxonomy term, date, and more.
WooCommerce Product Table uses the product data already stored by WooCommerce itself. This means that you can add products to WooCommerce manually or import them using a CSV/XML import plugin, and they will display in the product table.
Can I customize the product table column headings?
Yes, you can change or remove the heading for any column in the WooCommerce product table.
Will WooCommerce Product Table work if I have thousands of products?
Yes. If you have a large number of products then you can use the lazy load option. This loads the products one page of the table at a time, preventing any performance issues - regardless of how many products you have.
The WooCommerce Product Table plugin also has a built-in caching option. This speeds up the table even further.
Can I create a product table of variations?
There are 3 ways to create a WooCommerce variations product table:
- List each product on its own row of the table with variation dropdowns in the 'Buy' column.
- Display each variation on a separate row of the table with its own quantity picker and add to cart button.
- Display a 'Select options' button so that customers must select variations on the single product page.
WooCommerce Product Table is designed to display multiple products (and their variations) at once. If you want to display the variations for one product at a time then you might prefer our other plugin - WooCommerce Bulk Variations. This adds a variations grid to the product page.
What are the options to search, sort and filter the product table?
WooCommerce Product Table is designed for listing large numbers of products in a table or order form. This makes it essential for customers to be able to find products quickly and easily. As a result, there are lots of ways to search, sort and filter the list of products:
- Click on any column heading to sort the products in either direction.
- Use the instant AJAX-powered search box above the table.
- Display filter dropdowns above the table.
- Add filter widgets to the page sidebar.
All of these elements are optional and you can disable them as required - for example, in smaller WooCommerce product tables.
For more advanced filtering, we have designed WooCommerce Product Table to work alongside our other plugin - WooCommerce Product Filters. This lets you add an even wider range of filter styles, such as clickable images, price sliders, tag clouds, and more. It also provides advanced filtering options, such as the ability to hide the filters on certain screen sizes and devices.
Can I create a product listing of items that the customer has previously ordered?
Most of people use WooCommerce Product Table to display the same products to all customers. However, it can do much more than that!
The product listing plugin also has a shortcode option which allows you to list products which have been previously ordered by the current user. Each logged in customer will see a product table containing only products that they have previously ordered. It's an excellent way to list their favorite items for quick re-ordering, either in their Account or elsewhere on your WordPress site.
