WooCommerce Pages

Installation and Configuration:

Upon installation, WooCommerce creates the following new pages via the Setup Wizard:

Shop – No content required.
Cart – Contains the WooCommerce Cart Block and shows the cart contents.
Checkout – Contains WooCommerce Checkout Block and shows information such as shipping and payment options.
My Account – Contains [woocommerce_my_account] shortcode and shows customers information related to their account, orders, etc.
Refund and Returns Policy (Unpublished draft) – Contains sample text to help you get started writing your store’s Refund and Returns Policy. Not required but strongly recommended.

How can I add a shortcode if I am using the block editor?

To add the shortcode to a page with the Block Editor, please use the Shortcode Block, enter the shortcode and save the page.

WooCommerce Page Setup

↑ Back to top

By default, WooCommerce will set the Cart, Checkout, My account, Terms and conditions (ToC), and Shop pages to the default pages that were created during onboarding. If you create new pages that differ from the default pages or want to change what pages are used for things like cart and checkout, you need to set those in the Page setup settings.

To set pages for Cart, Checkout, My Account, and Terms and Conditions, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced.

Why can’t I set the Cart, Checkout, and My Account pages to the same page?

It results in incorrect redirects and broken payment gateway functionality. WooCommerce 3.7 and up prevent this from happening.

What is the Terms and Conditions page?

The Terms and conditions page is a non-required but highly recommended page. Setting it in your WooCommerce page setup settings will display a link to your shop’s terms and conditions to your customers at checkout. The customer is notified that by continuing at checkout they agree to the terms.

To tell WooCommerce what pages to use for the Shop page navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Products.

What is the Shop page?

The Shop page is a placeholder for a post type archive for products. It may render differently than other pages in your install.

If you’re using SEO plugins, they may include settings specific to custom post type archives, and these settings are what you should be using to control the shop page.

This page should be compatible with all WordPress themes, even ones not made specifically for WooCommerce, as of version 3.3x. Should you be using a custom/child theme or a version of WooCommerce prior to 3.3x, or experiencing a compatibility issue, go to: Third-party/custom theme compatibility.
