Easily customize your WooCommerce product catalog

If you want to make changes to things in WooCommerce like the text in your Add to cart buttons and whether you want to display prices or not there are some great plugins available that make this process very simple.

We spend a lot of time working on the innards of WooCommerce. For those with coding chops, WooCommerce is filled with hooks which make it super simple for developers to easily extend and change just about everything to do with WooCommerce. But what if you don’t have any coding skills – what then?

Customizing your WooCommerce catalog with no coding skills

I you’re lucky, you’ll be using a good theme that’s been optimized for WooCommerce and has some built in options for managing elements of WooCommerce.
