There will be a little bit of coding involved but don’t worry, it’s all very straightforward. And there’s the added satisfaction of knowing you can now extend WooCommerce in a powerful way.

I’ll explain a number of different use-cases with examples for each. I’ll be using our Shoptimizer WooCommerce theme but the code snippets should work for any WooCommerce theme.

Now, you might be wondering why it’s important to have rich snippets for your website or online store.

Put simply, rich snippets help you improve your click-through rate by increasing visibility in SERPs. In other words, they make your search results stand out among other results on the same page.

In addition, rich snippets help you establish trust with site visitors and give them a “sneak preview” of what they can expect to get before they actually land on your website.
