woocommerce_show_product_images
) - A short description of the product (
woocommerce_template_single_excerpt
) - Add to cart button (
woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart
) - Product Labeling and Classification (
woocommerce_template_single_meta
) - Product Details (Description, Reviews Tab) (
woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs
)
