WooCommerce Page Builders

Want to design your WooCommerce store with a visual, drag-and-drop interface? To do that, you need a WooCommerce page builder plugin.

Online stores are, generally speaking, more complex than regular websites, which is why not all page builder plugins support WooCommerce. However, there are a few page builders that do come with built-in features for working with WooCommerce.

In this article, weโ€™re first going to quickly review โฉ what to look for in a WooCommerce page builder, and then weโ€™ll compare โฉ three popular options. Weโ€™ll also show you how they can help you build your store.

Letโ€™s get right to it!

What to look for in a page builder for WooCommerce ๐Ÿ”Ž

Most popular WordPress page builders function in very similar ways. They provide visual editor components, drag-and-drop functionality, and ready-to-go modules. For this comparison, however, compatibility with WooCommerce is a must.

A truly WooCommerce-compatible page builder will help you create custom templates for your products and other shop pages. This is especially helpful if your merchandise doesnโ€™t fit neatly into the default WooCommerce product page structure.

Page builders can also enable you to apply conditional rules to your templates. You could then use different page structures for different product categories, for example.

Additionally, page builders that provide specific modules or elements for WooCommerce are ideal for a smooth editing process. For instance, an Add to Cart module is superior to a standard button element you would have to customize to enable shoppers to use it to purchase items.

In the next section, weโ€™re going to introduce you to three plugins that can help you create product templates and decide which parts of your shop to use them in. Theyโ€™ll enable you to set up unique templates for your product archive and single product pages, plus more.

The top WooCommerce page builders compared for 2022 ๐Ÿ†

The three tools weโ€™re going to explore below are some of the most popular page builders in the WordPress ecosystem. Although none of them are dedicated specifically for WooCommerce, they all offer dedicated WooCommerce modules and the ability to design WooCommerce single and product archive templates.

Letโ€™s check out what each has to offer.

1. Divi Builder

The Divi Builder.

Divi Builder is a complex page builder that provides a wide range of features. It comes with both back and front end editors and lets you use pre-built modules to create your pages.

Right out of the box, the Divi Builder provides a selection of WooCommerce-specific modules. Some of them include:

  • Product sections
  • Product galleries
  • Add to cart buttons
  • Product ratings
  • Product prices

The Divi Builder even includes an Upsell module so you can easily implement key marketing strategies. Hereโ€™s a quick look at some of its WooCommerce elements:

You can either use the Divi Builder to create new product templates or transform existing ones and enhance them with the builder. In the latter case, page elements are converted into corresponding modules, which you can then edit:

Ultimately, the Divi Builderโ€™s primary strength as an ecommerce page builder is that it comes with WooCommerce options built in. Thereโ€™s no need to spring for costly add-ons to access this functionality.

Finally, the Divi Builder enables you to save templates to a library and set them as the default for specific types of pages. For example, you can design multiple product page templates and assign them to specific categories:

There are a lot of perks to using the Divi Builder, but itโ€™s also one of the most expensive page builders available for a single site. A one-year license will cost you $89.00, although that price includes several other themes and plugins, as well as use on unlimited sites.

Additionally, the Divi Builder itself works best with the Divi theme. This is something to keep in mind if you donโ€™t want to switch to a new theme.

2. Elementor Pro

The Elementor page builder.

Elementor is quite possibly the most popular WordPress page builder you can use. It comes in both free and premium versions. However, its WooCommerce functionality is limited to the Pro version.

With Elementor, you can build new product pages using a selection of ready-to-go templates, or design your own layouts using a โ€˜widgetโ€™ system. It delivers many WooCommerce elements similar to the Divi Builderโ€™s, including product metadata, breadcrumbs, Add to Cart buttons, and more:

Just as with Divi, you can edit elements on the fly by modifying a broad range of settings that vary from module to module:

Both page builders are pretty balanced when it comes to the range of options they provide for working with WooCommerce.

Elementor Pro also provides access to template functionality. Using templates, you can design unique product and shop layouts and set conditions to let the plugin know where to implement them:

In our experience, Elementor works well with most themes, including our own WooCommerce-compatible Neve theme. Itโ€™s a bit more flexible than the Divi Builder in this regard, which may make it the superior option for users who are attached to their current themes.

Although the Divi Builder interface is more user-friendly and sleek, Elementor is still easy to pick up. Plus, you can purchase a single-site license for just , which is almost half the cost of Divi.

3. Beaver Builder

The Beaver Builder page builder.

Like Elementor, Beaver Builder comes in both free and premium options. However, if you want to access its WooCommerce settings, youโ€™ll need the premium version, as well as potentially another premium extension.

Beaver Builderโ€™s WooCommerce modules are somewhat more limited than Elementorโ€™s and the Divi Builderโ€™s. They include key ecommerce page sections and an Add to Cart button, but you wonโ€™t find product metadata or breadcrumbs here:

Beaver Builder enables you to customize your product pages and add new WooCommerce sections using a visual editor. The interface and user experience (UX) are somewhat similar to Elementorโ€™s:

However, if you want to create and set page templates for your products and shop, youโ€™ll need the separate, but official, Beaver Themer add-on. This tool is fairly expensive, which makes it hard to recommend over our two previous picks.

You can also consider the third-party WooPack for Beaver Builder extension, which adds some more flexibility for WooCommerce stores.

To gain access to Beaver Builderโ€™s premium features, youโ€™ll need to pay a license that costs $89.00 for your first year. Thatโ€™s double the price of Elementor Pro and $10 per year more than Divi, for less extensive WooCommerce functionality.

Beaver Themer is another $147 for your first year. However, thereโ€™s a renewal discount of 40% for all Beaver Builder products.

Conclusion ๐Ÿ

Using page builders with WooCommerce can enable you to create beautiful online stores without touching a line of code. Youโ€™ll be able to include WooCommerce content in your one-off designs, while also designing custom templates for your product archive and single product pages.

As far as which page builder is best for WooCommerce, both Divi Builder and Elementor Pro provide extensive ecommerce modules and user-friendly interfaces. However, Elementor is significantly cheaper if youโ€™re just planning to use it on a single store, which makes it an easy recommendation.
