WPSSO Product Metadata for WooCommerce

Easily include additional metadata fields in the WooCommerce Product data metabox and the purchase page Additional information section:

• GTIN
• GTIN-8
• GTIN-12 (UPC)
• GTIN-13 (EAN)
• GTIN-14
• ISBN
• MPN (Manufacturer Part Number)
• Depth
• Volume

The information shown under the WooCommerce purchase page Additional information section changes as different variations are selected (or unselected).

The SSO > WooCommerce Metadata settings page allows you to enable or disable product metadata with a simple checkbox, along with customizing the label and placeholder for different languages (aka WordPress locales).

The product metadata fields are integrated seamlessly in the WooCommerce product editing page, for both simple products and product variations.

The product global identifier values (ie. GTIN, GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, GTIN-14, UPC, EAN, ISBN, MPN) are searchable from the front-end and the WooCommerce Products admin page.

This plugin provides Schema (aka Schema.org) mpn, gtin14, gtin13, gtin12, gtin8, gtin, productID isbn, depth, and additionalProperty fluid_volume properties to the Schema JSON-LD Markup add-on for Google Rich Results, Rich Snippets, and Structured Data.

Can You Add More Product Metadata Fields?

Absolutely. Assuming the information can be included in a Schema Product property value, create a new topic in the plugin support forum with the details (including the suggested Schema property name) and we'll have a look. ;-)
