Another week, another feature release! We just can’t get our dev team to slow down for some reason…

This week includes a blast of 3 feature releases, all eCommerce related, so if you are a WordPress store owner, this is your lucky day!

Store owners and creators of eCommerce sites are an important audience for us. Elementor already works well with WooCommerce and its widgets. The first native WC widget, called Woo Products, was released with the launch of Elementor Pro. I know a lot of store owners have been waiting for another upgrade. Before going into details on the three new WooCommerce widgets, I want to introduce you to the new Price Table widget.

Price Table Widget

Pro users can finally experience what it is like to design unique and eye-catching price tables with the power of Elementor.

A price table is a vital element of many business websites that need to present their main products or services in a comparable table. With the Price Table widget, we tried to keep it simple, yet allowed you to create a price table sophisticated enough to clearly differentiate between the various features and pricing options of your products or services.

Until now, you either needed to use ready made price table plugins or hand code the CSS of the price table yourself. Elementor’s Price Table widget allows you to go a third way, and add your personal touch to each price table you create.

Woo – Add to Cart Widget

WooCommerce is an amazing platform, but until now it presented a real serious issue for people who only had one product to offer. Now, you can finally design the entire product landing page with Elementor and add the WooCommerce ‘Add to Cart’ widget so people can start the purchase right on the page.

This, of course, can also work with several products as well. You simply need to add the widget to each product and assign the right product by assigning it with the product name.

Woo – Elements Widget

The Woo Elements widget allows you to quickly add a host of WooCommerce elements onto the page.

These elements include:

  • Cart Page
  • Single Product Page
  • Checkout Page
  • Order Tracking Form
  • My Account

Along with the Woo Add to Cart widget, the Woo Elements let you create and design landing pages for specific products in a much easier way than was ever possible. This new feature means you no longer have to settle for the WooCommerce design and can customize your landing pages to be more beautiful and better converting.

Elementor still doesn’t include the ability to edit the WooCommerce product template itself (This will come in the future), but by creating pages that include the various WooCommerce elements, you have all the tools you need to create winning product pages.

Woo – Categories Widget

You can now add your list of categories and display them on your site. You have control over the layout of the categories, as well as the ability to create a query to choose just the categories you wish to display. You can also choose to order the categories in various ways and hide empty categories.

The three added widgets join the previously released Products widget and complete the picture in terms of adding WooCommerce elements to your site and designing them with Elementor.

This doesn’t mark the completion of our WooCommerce integration package. We still have more Woo features planned, features that will delve right into designing the inner product templates themselves. For now, Elementor is already broad enough to give any online store website its needed design boost.

12 New Templates

We’ve received a lot of great feedback on the 31 templates we previously released. Now, we are adding 12 new templates, each one professionally designed by our own qualified team of designers. One of the new templates incorporates the Price Table widget we have just added, and another template incorporates the ‘Woo Add to Cart’ widget also added. Moreover, we are also releasing the four templates we did for the comprehensive video on “how to design a complete website with Elementor“.

 

Forms – Added the Required Mark

The ‘Required’ control in the Forms widget now adds a red asterisk when turned on for a certain field. This makes the field more clearly for visitors filling out the form, in order to distinguish between required and optional fields.

Forms – Added HoneyPot field for better spam protection

Form spam is a never-ending phenomenon, and while solutions like reCaptchas are effective, they reduce the overall user experience. This is why we’ve now added another method of spam control, called the Honeypot technique. The technique is very simple: Elementor adds a form field that is hidden from the user but seen by the spambot. This way, the visitor’s experience is the same, but if the form is submitted with the hidden field filled, we recognize it as spam. You can read more about the Honeypot technique here.
