WooCommerce product shortcode showing only in stock products

WooCommerce product shortcode – stock products only

In WooCommerce, to display only in-stock products using a shortcode, you can use the [products] shortcode with additional parameters to filter the products. Unfortunately, the default WooCommerce shortcodes do not provide a direct way to filter by stock status. However, you can achieve this with a custom shortcode.

Here’s how you can create a custom shortcode to display only in-stock products:

1. Add the Custom Shortcode to Your Theme’s functions.php File:Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file. This code creates a new shortcode [in_stock_products] that queries and displays only in-stock products.

   
   function in_stock_products_shortcode($atts) {
       ob_start();
   
       // Define default attributes
       $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
           'limit' => '10',    // Default limit to 10 products
           'columns' => '4',   // Default to 4 columns
       ), $atts, 'in_stock_products');
   
       // WP_Query arguments
       $args = array(
           'post_type' => 'product',
           'posts_per_page' => $atts['limit'],
           'post_status' => 'publish',
           'meta_query' => array(
               array(
                   'key' => '_stock_status',
                   'value' => 'instock',
               ),
           ),
       );
   
       // Query products
       $loop = new WP_Query($args);
   
       // Check if there are products
       if ($loop->have_posts()) {
           echo '
   ';
   
           while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post();
               wc_get_template_part('content', 'product');
           endwhile;
   
           echo '
   ';
       } else {
           echo __('No products found');
       }
   
       // Reset Post Data
       wp_reset_postdata();
   
       return ob_get_clean();
   }
   
   // Register the shortcode
   add_shortcode('in_stock_products', 'in_stock_products_shortcode');
   
   

2. Use the Custom Shortcode in Your Posts or Pages

   Now you can use the custom shortcode [in_stock_products] in your posts or pages. You can also specify the number of products to display and the number of columns:

   [in_stock_products limit="12" columns="3"]

   This example will display 12 in-stock products in 3 columns. Adjust the limit and columns attributes as needed for your specific requirements.

   Summary

   • Add the provided PHP code to your theme’s functions.php file.
   • Use the [in_stock_products] shortcode in your content to display only in-stock products.
   • Customize the limit and columns attributes to fit your layout needs.
