Are you looking to create a custom single product template for your WooCommerce store? The default WooCommerce single product page uses a fixed layout that limits design control. A custom template lets you control the layout, highlight key product details, and create a consistent shopping experience across your store.
Requirement – This is a feature of the Nexter Extension (Free) plugin. Make sure it is installed and activated.
With the Nexter Theme Builder, you can create a custom single product template without any coding knowledge.
Best Used For:
- WooCommerce stores that need a distinct product page layout per category or product type
- Online shops where the default WooCommerce single product page does not match the site design
- Stores using Gutenberg or Elementor that need full design control over product pages without a separate page builder
Note: You must have the WooCommerce plugin installed.
To create a single product template using the Nexter Theme Builder, follow the steps –
1. From the Dashboard, go to Nexter Extension > Theme Builder > Add New Template.
2. In the popup, select Single Page from the Select Template dropdown.
3. Then, in the Name of Template field, add the template name.
4. Then, click on the Next button.
5. On the next screen, you have to set the appropriate display conditions. From the Include/Exclude dropdown, you can choose whether to show or hide the template in the selected locations.
6. Then from the second dropdown, you have to select the location. Here you will find many single product template related location options under the Products label –
- All Products – This will target all the single product pages, you can also select individual products from Condition Type dropdown.
- Products : Category – This will target single product pages by category, you can also select individual product categories from Condition Type dropdown.
- Products : Child Product categories – This will target single product pages by subcategory, you can also select individual parent product categories from Condition Type dropdown to target its subcategory.
- Products : Tag – This will target single product pages by tags, you can also select individual product tags from Condition Type dropdown.
- Products : By Author – This will target the single product pages by author, you can also select individual product authors from Condition Type dropdown.

From the Preview Type and Preview ID dropdowns, you can select a post type and individual post respectively to check the template preview.
So when you check the template preview using the WordPress Preview option, it will use your selected product page.
7. Once done, then click on the Create button.
8. Then it will open the WordPress editor, where you can use the WordPress blocks or Elementor to create the actual layout and content of the template. It is important to use single product blocks or widgets to ensure that the content is displayed correctly.
If you are using Elementor to create the single product template, you can take advantage of the WooBuilder widgets from The Plus Addons for Elementor. These widgets provide a range of options to customize your entire WooCommerce store, including single product page templates, making it easy to create a cohesive design throughout your WooCommerce store.
