Shop category template

[haperstone]

I don’t see a product category template in the theme, how can I customize the category?

Category uses woocommerce.php. If you explain what exactly do you want to do, we'll help you out.

Thank U for fast response. yes, I understand that template is used for all woocommerce pages. For example, I need to customize only product category pages (archives).

I want to add a custom filter to product categories

You can add the Woo product filter widget to the sidebar.

As mentioned in previous comment, theme uses woocommerce.php and that's why you cannot edit archive-product.php. See here https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-theme-developer-handbook/#section-2

Here are 4 ideas how to create something you want:

1. Use category description. You can insert plain HTML into the description and shortcodes work there as well. Don't know how your custom filter works, but if it's just HTML or a shortcode widget, it will work.
2. Add a new widget position wherever you want in woocommerce.php, add your stuff here. Install https://widgetcontext.com and assign widgets only to this category.
3. Create a usual page, add your content and use shortcode [products category="shoes"] to show the loop.
4. Try to remove woocommerce.php in main-theme and use hooks https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-theme-developer-handbook/#section-3. This may a bit tricky, but if that works well we can merge this here and remove woocommerce.php. Now you can edit archive-product.php.

Does this help?
