Delete pages made by Woo
-
I’m busy building a 100% affiliate based Woo site. In other words, users will be taken straight to the vendor site if they click on ‘Buy Now’.
The question is if I can safely delete the pages created by Woo for checkout etc, and not break anything else. The reason for getting rid of them is I’m not sure I want anyone visiting those pages while I’m not selling anything. I also don’t like things in a website not being actively used. I believe it’s easy enough to put them back, if/when I have my own products to sell.

I probably should have shared the actual products I’ll be listing, to give a better idea. I should maybe also point out I’ve never actively used Woo before, apart from some playing around to see how it works. And considering I don’t build sites for other people I never went far with Woo as I’ve never had anything to sell. I still don’t. Hence this post, just to be sure I’m going down the right road.
Basically, I will be listing all eSIM data plans for every country from various providers in order to save people using traditional search engines which often returns tons of useless info with the odd eSIM plan here and there.
I’ve been trying to use Toolset for this, and while it is a very powerful plugin, the learning curve for it is very steep, especially for what I’m planning to do, which is essentially just another e-commerce shop, albeit an affiliate based one. Yes, there is a field where you can input the outbound link after selecting product type as External/Affiliate. It was when I saw that field that I thought Woo would be the best option.
Visitors and search engines will need to be able to easily make sense of and sort between plans (amount of data and duration) providers, countries etc. So no, I don’t think the standard WP layout will work for this, though I did think about it.
Same goes for recipe websites. My wife has one. She could simply add recipes to a standard post, we thought about that when we started it, but WP Recipe Maker makes her job so much easier, and Google also likes it ??
Ultimately I’m going to have several thousand products(eSIM plans) listed, and Woo now seems the best way to go about this, with the help of Toolset for custom searches and views.
So yes, I won’t be needing the checkout, cart and my account pages and thought to remove them, but I will keep and use the shop page. I’ll just be using Woo for its very quick and easy to use cataloguing features. I am notoriously lazy, so I like to look for ways of accomplishing big jobs faster. I’m planning to launch with 1000 eSIM plans(products), and taking no more than a few minutes per plan this shouldn’t take me too long with Woo.
