Product Archive Builder

The Product Archive Builder in the Porto WordPress theme provides a powerful and flexible system for designing custom WooCommerce product listing pages. Instead of relying on WooCommerce’s default archive templates, Porto enables you to visually build and customize the layout of your Shop page, Product Category pages, Product Tag archives, and other WooCommerce taxonomy archives.

Using Elementor or WPBakery Page Builder, you can create fully personalized archive layouts with Porto’s dedicated builder elements. These tools allow you to control every part of the archive page—such as product grids, filter toggles, titles, descriptions, toolbars, and navigation—through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

This category includes documentation for all elements and settings used to structure your product archive, ensuring you can build an engaging shopping experience that drives higher user engagement and more sales.
