Customising Your WooCommerce Store with LSX Design Theme #

Store editing is one of the most critical aspects of maintaining a WooCommerce store, allowing you to adjust the layout, content, and functionality of your product and checkout pages. The LSX Design Theme offers robust tools that integrate with WooCommerce to make store editing intuitive, whether you are working with block-based templates or traditional setups. This section will guide you through the essential store editing tasks, from block placement to managing product displays and checkout customisation.

What is Store Editing? #

Store editing refers to the process of customising the content, layout, and functionality of your WooCommerce store’s key pages—such as the shop, product, cart, and checkout pages—using the WordPress block editor and WooCommerce-specific tools. With LSX Design, you can easily customise the store’s design and structure, ensuring it aligns with your brand and provides a user-friendly shopping experience.

Using the WooCommerce Store Customiser, you can make adjustments to store elements like product grids, cart layouts, and the checkout process. This powerful editor allows real-time previews of changes, so you can be confident that your customisations are both functional and visually appealing before publishing.

Key Store Editing Features in LSX Design #

1. Block Placement and Layout Customisation #

The WordPress block editor allows you to customise every part of your store by placing blocks exactly where you want them. The LSX Design Theme enhances this flexibility by providing additional WooCommerce-friendly blocks that are ready to use on any page.

• Product Display Blocks: Control how products are displayed on the shop page and product pages. With Product Grid, Product Title, Product Image, and Add to Cart blocks, you can easily customise the layout of your product listings.
• Cart and Checkout Blocks: The Cart and Checkout Blocks are highly customisable, allowing you to adjust the flow of the purchase process. You can place shipping, payment, and order summary blocks exactly where they will have the most impact.

You can drag and drop these blocks in the Site Editor, rearranging them to suit your store’s design and improve the customer journey.

2. Customising Product Pages #

One of the most important tasks in store editing is the customisation of individual product pages. With LSX Design, you can modify the template for single product pages using blocks to control how product information, reviews, and related products are presented.

• Product Information: Customise the placement of product details such as price, short description, and stock status.
• Related Products: Easily add related products or upsell blocks to enhance the shopping experience and encourage additional purchases.
• Global Styles: Ensure consistency in font styles, colours, and button designs across all product pages by setting global styles that automatically apply to every page.

This flexibility helps you create a product page that not only fits your store’s style but also maximises conversion rates by presenting information clearly and logically.

3. Customising Checkout Pages #

The Checkout Page is one of the most critical areas of your WooCommerce store, and with LSX Design, you can fully customise the layout and flow using the block editor.

• Checkout Fields: Customise the fields that appear on the checkout page, such as billing information, shipping address, and payment options. You can add, remove, or reorder fields as needed to streamline the checkout process.
• Custom Checkout Blocks: WooCommerce’s block-based checkout system allows for significant flexibility in customisation, and LSX Design enhances this with additional layout options and styling features.

If you need to rely on classic templates for checkout customisation (due to WooCommerce extensions or specific requirements), LSX Design still supports classic PHP templates for the checkout process, ensuring that all functionality remains intact.

4. Managing Inventory Displays #

Managing inventory is a critical part of running an online store, and LSX Design allows you to customise how inventory information is displayed on your store pages.

• In-Stock/Out-of-Stock Notifications: Use the block editor to customise how inventory status is displayed on product pages. You can highlight low stock, out-of-stock, or backorder status with custom styling to encourage purchases.
• Inventory Management Integration: WooCommerce’s inventory management settings integrate seamlessly with LSX Design, ensuring that product availability is clearly communicated to customers.

By controlling how inventory is displayed, you can optimise product pages to either create urgency or provide transparency about restocking times.

Tips for Store Editing with LSX Design Theme #

1. Use Global Styles
   Setting up global styles in LSX Design ensures consistency across all store pages. Global settings for fonts, buttons, and colours apply to every product page, cart, and checkout section, creating a cohesive brand experience.
2. Leverage Design Patterns
   The LSX Design Theme offers a variety of design patterns that make customising store pages faster. These patterns combine commonly used blocks (like product grids, featured products, and customer reviews) into reusable sections that can be dropped into any page.
3. Preview Changes Before Publishing
   Always preview your changes in the WordPress block editor before publishing. LSX Design’s integration with WooCommerce ensures that your customisations display correctly across desktop and mobile devices, helping you optimise the shopping experience for all users.

Balancing Block-Based and Classic Store Editing #

While LSX Design offers full support for WooCommerce’s block-based store editing, it also continues to provide compatibility with classic templates. This ensures that store owners who rely on legacy WooCommerce extensions or workflows can still manage and customise their store effectively. Whether you’re using the block editor or traditional methods, LSX Design gives you the flexibility to control the appearance and functionality of every aspect of your WooCommerce store.For a more comprehensive guide on WooCommerce store editing, check out the WooCommerce Store Editing Documentation.
