WooCommerce shortcodes let you display products, categories, and more anywhere on your site with a single line of code. Here are the 10 most useful ones.
WooCommerce has some very useful shortcodes, especially for themes that are not built specifically for WooCommerce. We often get requests from customers who want to display products on their homepage or other pages — this usually requires only one line of a shortcode.

[recent_products per_page="12" columns="4"]Featured Products
