Understand storefront and product settings
POM divides WooCommerce presentation into focused settings groups under Settings → POM Theme → E-Commerce. This reference explains which group owns each visible part of the customer journey.
WooCommerce still owns catalog data and commercial rules. Change payments, shipping, tax, inventory, accounts, emails, and assigned pages in WooCommerce → Settings.
Storefront
WooCommerce storefront
Path: Settings → POM Theme → E-Commerce → Storefront → WooCommerce storefront
Use this group for WooCommerce's catalog baseline:
- store notice visibility and text;
- Shop and category page contents;
- default product sorting;
- products per row and rows per page;
- main-image and thumbnail dimensions;
- thumbnail cropping, including a custom crop ratio.
Image dimension changes affect newly generated thumbnails. Regenerate existing WooCommerce thumbnails when older products retain the previous crop.
Product archives
Path: Settings → POM Theme → E-Commerce → Storefront → Product archives
Use this group for the Shop and product taxonomy layouts, sidebar, pagination, subcategories, product-loop wrapper, feed template, quick view, ratings, add-to-cart behavior, and other archive presentation choices.
Advanced filters settings
Path: Settings → POM Theme → E-Commerce → Storefront → Advanced filters settings
Use this group to add search, price, category, attribute, and product-taxonomy filters to supported product archives.
Product single
Product layout
Path: Settings → POM Theme → E-Commerce → Product single → Product layout
Use this group for the product-page container width, layout, gallery and thumbnail arrangement, purchase-area position, tabs, related products, upsells, sharing, sidebar, and fixed add-to-cart bar. The container-width choice applies to both the product page and the fixed bar's inner content.
The WooCommerce Bookings presentation choice is available only when its integration is active.
In-stock waitlist
Use this group to collect email addresses on eligible out-of-stock product pages and define the stock level that triggers availability notifications.
Request info button
Use this group for a global product enquiry button, its destination or contact pop-up, and the enquiry email text.
Cart and checkout
- Dropdown and side cart controls the navigation cart, dropdown or side-cart behavior, labels, colors, and buttons.
- Checkout behavior controls multiple addresses, checkout labels, selected native field requirements, required-field markers, and legal text.
- Cart layout, Checkout layout, and Order details layout control their respective page presentation when those feature sections are enabled.
- Checkout labels changes supported section headings and the payment button text.
- Checkout field editor adds supported custom billing fields.
- Google address finder configures address-search messaging when that integration is available.
Treat custom checkout fields as order data. Collect only information the store genuinely needs.
My account
- My account layout controls the account-page layout, dashboard message, and optional reusable block.
- My account endpoints adds supported account navigation destinations backed by reusable blocks and permission rules.
Promotions
- Wishlist settings controls the product-page wishlist button style and My Account menu label.
- Gift vouchers settings controls voucher numbering, PDF templates, and the optional recipient phone field.
Other promotional systems, including product sale prices and WooCommerce coupons, remain WooCommerce features.
