Hello, creating another standard Product Category in woocommerce would be confusing. Here’s what we are using the existing woocommerce taxonomies for:
1. Product category: To group products by categories such as kitchen, bathroom, bedroom etc.
2. Tags: For special groups, eg. gifts, christmas, father’s day
3. Attributes: For sizes, colours, product variations
Hence we want to create a new taxonomy lets call it Characteristic. There are 7 difference characteristics (eg. Product Characteristic, Product Packaging Characteristic). Under each Characteristic there are certain Selections that can be made. For example, under Product characteristic there could be Vegan, Organic, Paraben-free. Each Selection will have a logo attached to it. I suppose this arrangement is similar to that of how Woocommerce Attributes is organised in that there are master characteristics like Sizes and under that there could be XS, S, M L etc.. Additionally, at product level, for each Selection, we want to be able to have a custom field attached to it so we can add specific information (text) that gives further detail about why/how that product has attained this Selection.
Pods seems like it is able to do that although maybe you could confirm..?
After the Characteristic taxonomy is created, we then want to display this information on the woocommerce single product page where customers can see the Characteristic selection logos easily. And if a customer clicks on each logo it will take him to a page that shows him all products (filter) that have that characteristic as well.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that we can follow or would you be able to give instructions on how to do that?
Thank you very much.
