Adding products

Yes there is a difference. If you want to link to a product you should use the product and not a page with a shortcode.

Thank you, could you maybe explain what the difference is and why it is advisable to link to the product?

Hey,
the product page is going to have the full details and images. Are we talking about the same thing? Your referring to the single product page right? For example: https://themes.kadencethemes.com/virtue/product/mountainware-hoodie/

Hi,
yes, I am talking about the full product page, but with this code it is also included:
[product_page id=”99″]
I am just wondering because if I create a special page and put that code on it, I can easily add other things to that page, too. If I want to add other stuff to thee actual product, I would need to set up special functions. But I don’t know if there are any issues with performance, SEO and the page having a different ID than the product if I create a separate page?

Ok, in that case yes you can certainly use a shortcode. It won’t negatively effect your SEO, performance and doesn’t matter about page id. I was only trying to help you from having to build all these pages but if you need to for adding items and you don’t want to use custom functions you will be fine using the shortcode. The major negative is more things to manage.
