What It Does

This user-friendly plugin is what many website designers, developers, and business owners look for when they need an additional product code field in WooCommerce. It is often used as an inventory control number, an internal stock number, or a bin location. The plugin allows you to add a product identifier to each variable or single item in WooCommerce. The custom field value can be passed through during order fulfillment and referenced from each item ordered. The field value can be viewed on the user side or turned off if desired.

Throughout the order process, a unique product code is often added in addition to the GTIN, EAN, SKU, and UPC. However, all current plugins that might address this need require complex setups and functions, resulting in increased memory usage, system conflicts, and frequent updates. This plugin eliminates all those hurdles by providing a simple solution without the bloat, without sacrificing the options WooCommerce doesn’t offer.

WooCommerce’s built-in product fields lack the flexibility many businesses require. This plugin fills those gaps with granular display controls—show codes to admins only, hide them on product pages while keeping them in cart and checkout, or hide them from customers entirely while preserving visibility on invoices and packing slips. A secondary code field accommodates businesses that need both a customer-facing code and an internal reference, such as a bin location. Customizable labels let you rename fields to match your workflow, and the option to hide empty fields keeps your product pages clean.

Simply install, enter your product codes within each product post (variation or single), and publish. There is nothing more to it than that! If you don’t want customers to see the unique product code, you can disable the user-side display in setup. The field label can also be easily changed in setup to read ISBN, Bin Number, Stock Number, EAN, or JAN. Any value can be created and entered as a single new field.

The added fields are compliant with mappable data import and export schemes. This exact compliance allows the fields to be included in a Google Merchant product feed using custom mapping. It also supports Schema.org/Product with an option to choose the property name (GTIN, EAN, UPC, ISBN) to set inside the structured data.

You can also search product codes using the WordPress default search from the user side and from the administrator WooCommerce product list page on the backend. It is compatible to search product codes using the popular Relevanssi, SearchWP, and Ajax Search Pro.
