Let’s find a couple of minutes to see how to add and customize product badges easily without coding skills. 

4 easy steps to add WooCommerce product badges 

Follow the simple four steps to add attention-grabbing badges to your WooCommerce products. Moreover, you can do it in minutes with no code. 

For example, now, we will add an On Sale, Discount, or Price Reduced badge. The process of adding other badges is almost the same. 

Step 1: Install Product Slider for WooCommerce plugin

We’ll add WooCommerce custom product badges in minutes without writing code. So, we need to install a good plugin for it. 

However, a good plugin not only offers tons of features but also makes sure qualities such as standard coding, intuitive user interfaces, fast performance, compatibility with other plugins and themes, regular updates with the latest web technologies, and a lightweight structure. Failure to meet these qualities can result in many errors on your site and slow it down. Most importantly, the plugin should be user-friendly and compatible with the latest version of WordPress so you can work seamlessly.

Considering all these facts censoriously, I prefer Product Slider for WooCommerce Pro to add badges to WooCommerce products. It can be the best product showcase solution for your WooCommerce store too.    

In essence, Product Slider for WooCommerce is a complete solution to create beautiful WooCommerce product showcases that draw your visitors’ attention and grow conversion. It allows you to filter products by many options and create product showcases in 5 different layouts:

  1. Product Slider
  2. Product Carousel
  3. Product Even Grid
  4. Product Masonry Grid
  5. Product Table    

Moreover, it offers 30+ beautiful templates and a wide range of features, including WooCommerce product badges. 

Let’s install and activate Woo Product Slider.
