  2. The second example adds WooCommerce tables to the single product page. The table lists kitchen parts, letting customers mix and match to order a complete kitchen.

1. Davora - WooCommerce Wholesale Store

WooCommerce Product Table with Wholesale Suite Trade Store Plugin

Davora are an e-commerce website selling ethnic and minor season greetings cards. As well as their public WooCommerce store, they use Wholesale Suite's 'Wholesale Pricing' plugin to display wholesale prices in a separate trade area. This lets them control how products are sold to wholesale users, for example with separate trade pricing and minimum order quantities.

When you log into the trade store, you can navigate to a product category. The products in each category are listed in a searchable, sortable table created using WooCommerce Product Table. WooCommerce Product Table is fully compatible with Wholesale Suite's pricing plugin so they can be used together.

It's very similar to the advice in our tutorial on how to create a WooCommerce order form.

Davora have done some custom development work to automatically display product tables on category pages for trade users, while public customers see the normal category layouts. (The knowledge base includes some basic guidance on how to add product tables to category archive templates.)

2. First Kitchens - WooCommerce table for optional product add-ons

WooCommerce kitchen website

First Kitchens have a beautiful WordPress website with WooCommerce tables within the main description on the individual product pages. They use the tables to list the available add-ons for their kitchen parts. A product list offers a more structured way to display extra product options than using variable products or an Extra Product Options extension.

Until we saw the First Kitchens website, it hadn't occurred to us that anyone would ever add a product table to the single product page! After all, most WooCommerce sites only list 1 product on the individual product page! However when we saw the tables in action, we saw that it makes perfect sense and is an ideal way to sell kitchens online. A classic example of how people are using the WooCommerce table plugin in innovative new ways!

3. Dosado - WooCommerce Music Store

WooCommerce music store

Dosado are a square dance website with a WooCommerce music store where fans can buy their music.

They use our WooCommerce table plugin to list their music products in a responsive jQuery table. The table has columns for name, SKY, price and add to cart. They have cleverly adjusted the column widths to add an expandable cross. This can be clicked on to expand the table to reveal 2 hidden columns. These contain the date and include an embedded audio file so that you can listen to a sample of the music before buying.

Dosado have multiple WooCommerce tables on their site. There's a separate table of products for each month, and also on other locations around the site. This has allowed them to create an entire WooCommerce website without any of the standard built-in category layouts. The result is much better suited to a music store.

Audio samples are an excellent way for music stores to improve conversion rates and increase sales. Dosado have achieved this in a subtle way that doesn't take up too much vertical space, while providing plenty of useful information in the WooCommerce table.
