WooCommerce is a free plugin to manage the e-commerce functionality of your WordPress site. It is the world’s most popular open-source solution to create and manage a shop on the Internet, and therefore Bricks proudly integrates with it.
Bricks introduces the new in-theme WooCommerce Builder, which allows you to build your entire store with it. Including the main shop page, single product page, products archives, cart, checkout, and account pages.
To design these layouts, Bricks offers WooCommerce-specific elements and template types.
Certain elements only show when editing a specific template type.
The Checkout customer details element, for example, is only available when editing the WooCommerce Checkout template.
Getting Started
To access the WooCommerce Builder in Bricks, install and activate the free WooCommerce plugin available in the official WordPress repository or through your WordPress dashboard under Plugins → Add New.
After activation, you might want to set up the store using the in-site configuration wizard or do it manually through the WooCommerce settings menus.
Please note that during the configuration wizard, you won’t need to pick up a new theme because Bricks is already a theme and fully supports WooCommerce.
With the configuration done and after adding some products, you can start visually building your WooCommerce layouts with Bricks.

Shop page
The shop page is a special WooCommerce page which is defined as the archive page for your products.
To design a unique Shop page layout, you can directly edit the Shop page with Bricks.
Or you could add a template condition in your WooCommerce - Product Archive template so this template is used for the Shop page as well. In this case, you would need to set the template conditions to target the shop page individually like so:
