Displaying SKUs on Your WooCommerce Product Pages with Divi
Creating a visually appealing and informative product page is essential for any online store. WooCommerce offers a robust framework, and Divi provides powerful customization tools, but sometimes integrating the two requires a bit of extra work. One common request is to display the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) on the product page. This article will guide you through the process of achieving this within your Divi layout.
Why Show SKUs?
- Product Identification: SKUs act as unique identifiers for your products, helping you and your customers easily track and reference specific items.
- Inventory Management: SKUs streamline inventory management, allowing for efficient stock tracking and order fulfillment.
- Customer Confidence: Displaying SKUs on your product pages adds a level of professionalism and transparency, giving customers confidence in the authenticity of the products they're purchasing.
Methods for Displaying SKUs on Divi Product Pages
There are several approaches to displaying SKUs on your WooCommerce product pages using Divi:
1. Using the WooCommerce Shortcode:
This is the simplest and most direct method. WooCommerce provides a built-in shortcode that you can embed within your Divi layout:
[woocommerce_product_sku]
- Implementation:
- Divi Builder: Insert a Text Module into your product page layout.
- Paste the shortcode: Paste the
[woocommerce_product_sku]shortcode directly into the Text Module's content editor. - Customize: Adjust the text formatting, font style, and color as needed within the Text Module's settings to match your website's design.
2. Using a Custom Field:
For more control over the SKU display, consider using a custom field. This approach allows you to add the SKU information directly to each product:
-
Adding the Custom Field:
- Go to WooCommerce > Products and edit the product you want to modify.
- Navigate to the Product Data tab.
- Click on the "Add custom field" button.
- Enter "SKU" as the Field Key and "Text" as the Field Type.
- Enter the SKU value.
- Save your product.
-
Displaying the Custom Field in Divi:
- Divi Builder: Use a Text Module or a Dynamic Content Module.
- Dynamic Content: In the Dynamic Content Module, search for the "Custom Field" element and select the field labeled "SKU".
- Text Module: Paste the following shortcode into the Text Module's content editor, replacing "sku" with the actual custom field key you used (case sensitive):
[woocommerce_product_meta name="sku"]
3. Using a WooCommerce Plugin:
Various WooCommerce plugins specifically cater to SKU display. These plugins often offer advanced customization options like:
- Dynamic placement: Place the SKU on different parts of the product page, such as the product title or description.
- Styling: Control the SKU's formatting, font, color, and appearance.
- Additional features: Some plugins provide additional features like SKU filters or advanced inventory management.
Best Practices
- Consistency: Always use the same method for displaying SKUs across all your products.
- Clarity: Make sure the SKU is clearly visible and easy to read on the product page.
- Placement: Consider the optimal placement of the SKU based on your product page design and customer experience.
- Mobile-friendliness: Ensure that the SKU is visible and accessible on mobile devices.
Conclusion
Displaying SKUs on your WooCommerce product pages with Divi can enhance the organization, clarity, and overall user experience of your online store. By utilizing the methods outlined above, you can easily integrate SKUs into your product pages, providing valuable information for both you and your customers.
