How to style the WooCommerce Plugin - Customize E-shops

Learn how to easily customize your WooCommerce powered website by visually editing each element. You'll just need to install and activate the CSSHero WordPress plugin.

About this Plugin

WooCommerce is a freemium WordPress plugin that allows you to turn your blog into a proper e-commerce site.

One of the main key points of this approach is that running the blog and the shop on the same platform allows easy content optimization of both blog posts and product pages with the well-known SEO power of WordPress.

Why CSS Hero can be the ideal solution for customizing Woocommerce-powered websites

Unless you have bought a WooCommerce-ready theme that exactly fits your styling needs, you will probably want to personalize a bit the visual aspect of the ecommerce elements of your site to match your graphical needs.

Products, Add to cart button, Checkout buttons….add your personal touch, blend the elements better with the general styling of the website, or make ’em stand out!

The WooCommerce plugin (Free version) allows for a quite limited set of personalization options.

As still in many WordPress plugins and themes, in order to edit the colours of the main elements, you will have to find and change the appropriate option, save the options, and go back to the site to see your results. Changes are not applied in real time. Finding the right color is a pick-and-test job, not the quickest if you don’t have a clear idea, but better than nothing.

How does the CSS Hero Woocommerce plugin work

CSS Hero is a live CSS editor that intercepts WooCommerce elements, allowing direct graphic customization with live feedback. That means editing and previewing in real time the desired graphical changes to your site.

This feature is especially useful to find correct color choices, but we may want to do something more: achieve a both beautiful and unique visual result that can catch the eye of your customers. Having a plain, copycat website does not help catching the attention of your customers and leading their path towards a sale.

Why you should try CSS Hero with WooCommerce?

Being able to easily tweak the elements of your ecommerce site is really a joy. Making your site look more unique, finely styling the elements of your online shop to achieve your desired look and enhance your conversions.

A full-fledged CSS visual editor at your fingertips – totally built into WordPress. No need to install any software on your computer.

CSS Hero will help unleashing your creativity, it’s easy interface will quickly make you feel at home, remembering you the visual approach of image editing software like PhotoShop or Gimp.

Great news is that technically, no modification is done to your original Theme – CSS Hero just adds a separate, dynamically generated CSS stylesheet, in a totally transparent way. So it’s basically plugin-upgrade friendly, and theme-upgrade friendly.

“You shall not edit any theme stylesheet anymore!”

Dear WordPress fan, this is not an invasive tool for your WordPress, but just a tool that adds a 100% separate CSS to handle all the graphics customization that you want in a clean, “respectful” way.
