Dear staff of X,

I have my payment system (idealcheckout) working in my Woocommerce shop, but I’d really like to be able to sell an item outside the Woocommerce shop-structure (see my Private message below with the link).
The Woocommerce shop structure is for my courses but I have a separate page for my consults. This page also has another lay out than the product-page of the Woocommerce shop.

So how can I have someone shop there and buy the item (consult) without changing the lay out of my consult page into a product page AND without seeing the item (consult) on the shop page?

Thank you in advance!

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Woocommerce manages your shop, cart, checkout and everything. You must include your consultation as one of the products so that Woocommerce will be able to manage it and be able your users to add to the cart. Once added as a product, you can make use of the add to cart button shortcode which you can insert in your consultation page. To know more about this shortcode, please check it out here: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#section-9

Hope this helps.

Thank you Rue Nel, that helps a little. Then I’m still wondering how I can keep a product (the consult) from appearing (invisible) on the shop page?

I mean: the shop page at my site is “workshops and courses” so I don’t want my product “consults” appearing on the shop page that is called “workshops”!

do you happen to know a solution?

Hello Darshana/ staff,

That’s right! And I don’t want it to appear on the shop page either.

So.. Ok, I’m going to reformulate my question again:

I have a shop page (woocommerce shop) and a consult page (a regular page).
In my shop I sell workshops and courses.
On my consult page I sell different types of consults.

But because my consult page is not a woocommerce product, I cannnot have people add it to their shopping cart, neither can I use iDealcheckout as a payment system.

And I do want to sell the consults with iDeal/ woocommerce-shoppingcart system!
BUT I do not want the consults to appear as products on the shop page.
Why not? Because the shop is for workshops and courses and not for consults.
I want workshops/courses to be a separate page from consults.

So:

How do I get Consults to be able to be processed by woocommerce/ idealcheckout, without having it to appear in the shop’s page?

In other words:

Can my consults be a woocommerce product without appearing in the shop? (or any other place where products of woocommerce are visible?)

I hope this gave some clarity..

Thanks in advance!

PS see my private reply above for the links.

Hi there,

You can categorize your consult products item, then implement this code https://docs.woothemes.com/document/exclude-a-category-from-the-shop-page/ to your child theme’s functions.php

Then simply change this line of code

'terms' => array( 'knives' ), // Don't display products in the knives category on the shop page

to something like this, given that you have product category consult

'terms' => array( 'consult' ), // Don't display products in the consult category on the shop page

Hope this helps.

[MrsX]

Aaah thanks heaps..
But something happened. I did the above suggestions and then everything went blank, white page.
I managed to go back to the functions.php file (by clicking “back” in my webbrowser)
and I took out the new piece of code and then clicked save, but it still went to show me a white page.

oh dear… praying..

any thoughts?
my website seems to be down now..

Hi there,

You also copied a string that isn’t meant to be there. Please remove this line,

view raw

And please do editing through FTP, or please provide it so we could test it. We will not do editing through WordPress’s admin as it may really break your site.

Thanks!

[MrsX]

Hi there Rad,

thanks so much. I took away the little code snippet “view raw” and my site indeed doesn’t crash now anymore but nothing changes for the product. The product in category “Other” (I named it “other”) is still visible in my shop.

Please help? Thanks so much!

All best!

Hi there,

Hmm, not sure what else need to be done. But I like to see your setup directly. Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

Don’t forget to select Set as private reply. This ensures your information is only visible to our staff.

Thanks!
