Do you want to showcase your products and enhance your online store’s functionality on your website? Using WooCommerce widgets in Thrive Architect allows you to easily add product listings, shopping carts, and other eCommerce features to your pages, helping you create a seamless shopping experience for your visitors.
In this article, we’ll show you how you can add and use WooCommerce widgets effectively on your website.
Adding the WooCommerce Widgets on a Page
To add the WooCommerce Widgets elements to a page, begin by opening the page in the Thrive Architect editor. To do so, open your WordPress admin area, Pages >> All Pages, hover on the page you want to edit and click Edit with Thrive Architect.
In the Thrive Architect editor, click the plus icon in the right column.
Once you click the plus icon, you’ll see a list of Thrive Architect elements. If you scroll down, you will have a separate WooCommerce section in the list of elements when you have WooCommerce installed and activated on the website.
