- Available shortcuts and their destinations
- Requirements and installation steps
Integration Add-on - This add-on extends MainWP to work with WooCommerce. Requires WooCommerce to be installed on your child sites.
The MainWP WooCommerce Shortcuts Extension adds a widget to individual child site Overview pages, providing direct links to WooCommerce admin pages through MainWP’s Jump to WP Admin flow.
After installing the extension, the WooCommerce Shortcuts widget appears on individual child site Overview pages:
- Navigate to MainWP > Sites
- Click on any child site name to open its Overview page
- Look for the WooCommerce Shortcuts widget
The widget only appears for child sites where WooCommerce is installed, activated, and detected during site sync.
If you open MainWP > Add-ons > WooCommerce Shortcuts, the page only shows a notice. The add-on does not provide separate settings there and works through the individual site Overview widget.
