WooCommerce

ProPhoto supports the popular e-commerce plugin WooCommerce. WooCommerce utilizes WordPress custom post types and WordPress pages for it's functionality, both of which ProPhoto supports natively for layout assignments and overrides. This means that you can easily create custom ProPhoto layouts for WooCommerce items like the store, cart, checkout, and even individual products. 

Installing and setting up WooCommerce is pretty straightforward. When you first activate the plugin, it walks you through the setup step by step. And if you need any help, you can always consult their support documentation (or contact their support team). We can also try and assist should you have any questions.

Here are a couple things to be aware of when using the plugin with ProPhoto.

Assigning layouts to WooCommerce products and page types

Products within WooCommerce utilize WordPress custom post types, which function very similarly to WordPress blog posts. This means that by default, whenever you create a new product within WooCommerce, it will receive whatever ProPhoto layout is being applied to individual blog posts. Similarly, WooCommerce uses WordPress pages for other page types (Shop, Cart, Checkout, etc.), so all of those pages will by default receive whatever ProPhoto layout is being applied to WordPress pages. If you would like to create/assign unique layouts for your WooCommerce products and/or pages, you can do so in the Layouts area of ProPhoto. When assigning a layout, you will see three new tabs, specific to WooCommerce:

Just like WordPress blog posts and pages, you can assign layouts to all WooCommerce products/pages, product archives, or individual products/pages.

Displaying WooCommerce content in your layout

If you do decide to create a unique layout for your WooCommerce products/pages, you just need to make sure that your layout contains a WordPress content module. Because WooCommerce generates it's content just like the content of a WordPress post or page, a WordPress content module will be necessary to display the plugin's content (product information, shopping cart, checkout page, etc.).

Using additional WooCommerce add-on plugins

Because WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms for WordPress, there is an extensive library of add-on plugins (free and paid) that can be used with WooCommerce. These plugins will allow you to customize or sell just about anything you want using WooCommerce. While we do have extensive knowledge of WooCommerce and some of the more popular add-on plugins for it, be aware that we may not be able to assist or support every one of these add-on plugins.
