Introducing My WooCommerce Product Table Plugin πŸš€


Over the last few months, I’ve been working deeply with WooCommerce β€” especially in scenarios where product catalogs are large, complex, and performance-sensitive.

One recurring problem stood out:

πŸ‘‰ The default WooCommerce grid layout breaks down when users need speed, comparison, and bulk actions.

So I built something to solve that properly.

Today, I’m open-sourcing it:

πŸ‘‰ https://github.com/vishalkakadiya/wc-product-table/


πŸ’‘ The Problem

WooCommerce works great for standard stores.

But when you move into:

  • Wholesale / B2B
  • Bulk ordering systems
  • Course or product catalogs
  • Restaurants / menus

Users don’t want to β€œbrowse” β€” they want to:

βœ” Scan quickly
βœ” Search instantly
βœ” Add multiple items fast

A table UI fits this use case far better than grids.


βš™οΈ What This Plugin Does

This plugin lets you display WooCommerce products in a fully interactive table with:

  • Search
  • Sorting
  • Filtering
  • Pagination
  • AJAX cart actions

All optimized for speed and usability.


πŸ”₯ Key Features

Here are the highlights that make it powerful:

⚑ AJAX Add to Cart (Single + Bulk)

Add products without page reload β€” including bulk add-to-cart functionality.

🧩 Variable Product Support

Select variations directly inside the table β€” no need to visit product pages.

πŸ”Ž Search, Filter & Sort

  • Real-time search
  • Category & tag filters
  • Sortable columns (price, name, etc.)

πŸ“„ Pagination with Control

AJAX-powered pagination with customizable per-page limits.

πŸ”— External/Affiliate Support

Handles affiliate products cleanly with proper CTA behavior.


🧠 Built for Developers (This Matters)

This is not just a UI plugin β€” it’s built as a framework-style extension.

  • βœ… 50+ hooks (filters + actions)
  • βœ… Fully customizable columns
  • βœ… Template override system
  • βœ… Extensible query layer
  • βœ… Clean separation of logic and UI

You can literally customize every part of the table β€” from query β†’ UI β†’ cart behavior.


πŸ› οΈ Example: Add a Custom Column

You can extend the table like this:

add_filter( 'wcpt_table_columns', function( $columns ) {
$columns['sku'] = [
'label' => 'SKU',
'sortable' => true,
];
return $columns;
});add_action( 'wcpt_render_column_sku', function( $product ) {
echo $product->get_sku();
});

This level of extensibility is intentional β€” I wanted this to work well in real-world enterprise setups, not just demos.


⚑ Quick Usage

Just drop the shortcode:

[wc_product_table]

Or customize it:

[wc_product_table per_page="25" category="clothing"]

Simple, flexible, and production-ready.


🎯 Where This Works Best

This plugin is ideal for:

  • Wholesale stores
  • B2B dashboards
  • LMS product/course listings
  • Bulk ordering interfaces
  • High SKU catalogs

πŸ—οΈ My Approach While Building This

Since I work as a WordPress architect, I built this with a few strong principles:

  • Performance first
  • Extensibility over shortcuts
  • Clean architecture
  • Real-world usability

This is not a β€œjust make it work” plugin β€” it’s designed to scale.


πŸ”“ Open Source

The plugin is fully open source.

πŸ‘‰ UX + performance + flexibility = everything

This plugin is built exactly with that mindset.
