Description
Simple Product Table for WooCommerce replaces slow, click-heavy shopping with a single, scannable table. Your customers search, sort, filter, set quantities and add several products to the cart at once — without ever leaving the page.
Perfect for wholesale and B2B quick-order forms, restaurant and food menus, distributor and spare-parts catalogs, and any store where people buy many items in one go.
Create your first table in under 2 minutes — no page builder, no code.
Quick start
- Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce must be active).
- Go to Simple Product Table Add New Table, choose your columns (name, price, quantity, add-to-cart…) and click Publish.
- Pick the products: assign a Product List, or add
category="your-category"to the shortcode to pull them in automatically. - Copy the shortcode shown on the table screen (e.g.
[sptable id="42"]) and paste it on any page or post. Done!
Why store owners choose it
- Sell faster — one table, one click, many products in the cart.
- Less friction — no jumping between product pages.
- Looks professional — a clean, modern, mobile-friendly layout out of the box.
- You stay in control — pick the columns, the products and the wording.
Key features
- One-click quick order — a checkbox on every row plus an “Add all to cart” button to add several products in a single click.
- AJAX add to cart — products drop into the cart instantly, with no page reload.
- Instant search, sort & pagination — powered by DataTables.
- Filter by category — a dropdown above the table lets shoppers narrow the list in one click.
- Column builder — show exactly what you need: product name, thumbnail, price, quantity input, add-to-cart button, SKU, short description, category and stock status.
- Custom labels — rename any column header and the “Add to cart” button to match your store.
- Two ways to fill a table — hand-pick products with reusable Product Lists, or pull them in automatically by category or tag straight from the shortcode.
- Mobile responsive — on small screens the table turns into tidy, stacked cards.
- Works for everyone — guests and logged-in customers can both order.
- Multiple tables per page — show different selections wherever you like.
How it works
- Go to Simple Product Table Products Lists and create a list by selecting the products to include (or skip this and use a category/tag in the shortcode).
- Go to Simple Product Table Add New Table, choose your columns and assign a product list.
- Click the shortcode to copy it (e.g.
[sptable id="42"]) and paste it on any page or post.
Shortcode options
[sptable id="42"]— show the table and its assigned product list.[sptable id="42" category="t-shirts"]— fill the table with products from a category (slug). Combine several with commas.[sptable id="42" tag="sale"]— fill the table with products from a tag (slug).
Use cases
- Wholesale / B2B quick-order forms
- Restaurant and food menus with direct add-to-cart
- Distributor and reseller catalogs
- Spare-parts and large product lists
- Any store selling multiple products at once

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active. The plugin shows an admin notice and stops loading if WooCommerce is not detected.
-
How do I choose which products appear in a table?
-
Two ways. Create a Product List and assign it to the table, or pass a category or tag slug in the shortcode, e.g.
[sptable id="42" category="coffee"]. A category or tag in the shortcode takes priority over the assigned list. -
Can customers add several products at once?
-
Yes. When the table has an “Add to cart” column, every row gets a checkbox and an “Add all to cart” button appears. Customers tick the products they want, set quantities, and add them all in one click.
-
Which columns can I show?
-
Product name, thumbnail, price, quantity input, add-to-cart button, SKU, short description, category and stock status. You can reorder them and rename each column header.
-
Yes. Go to Simple Product Table Settings Display and set your own label.
-
Can I display multiple tables on the same page?
-
Yes. Use as many
[sptable id="X"]shortcodes as you like, each pointing to a different table. -
Is the table mobile friendly?
-
Yes. On small screens it switches to a stacked, card-style layout that stays easy to read and use.
-
Can guests (non-logged-in users) add products to their cart?
-
Yes. Adding to the cart works for both guests and logged-in customers, exactly like standard WooCommerce.
-
What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?
-
Nothing is deleted by default. If you want a clean removal, enable “Delete all data on uninstall” in Simple Product Table Settings before removing the plugin.
