Stillgrey Design Product Studio for WooCommerce

Description

Stillgrey Design Product Studio gives WooCommerce users a clear, focused screen for everyday catalogue work.

Use it to:

  • Create simple and variable products.
  • Edit names, descriptions, prices, stock, SKUs, categories, product tags, shipping classes and dimensions.
  • Create product categories without leaving the product editor.
  • Mark simple products as virtual when no physical shipping is required.
  • Choose a main image and product gallery.
  • Build reusable product structures from quick templates.
  • Generate and edit variations, including their individual images, without moving between multiple WooCommerce panels.
  • Save new products as drafts before publishing.

The plugin uses WooCommerce product APIs and keeps product data in WooCommerce. It does not create a separate catalogue, connect to an external service or collect analytics.

Source code and development

All JavaScript and CSS shipped with the plugin is the original, unminified, human-readable source loaded directly by WordPress. The plugin has no compiled frontend bundles and requires no build step. Development and optional formatting instructions are included in CONTRIBUTING.md.

The complete, publicly maintained source code is available at https://github.com/stillgrey213/stillgrey-product-studio.

Optional tier pricing

If Tiered Pricing Table for WooCommerce by U2Code is already active, Product Studio also displays its fixed quantity-pricing rules. This integration is optional; the pricing plugin is not bundled or required, and Product Studio continues to create and edit products when it is absent.

Installation

  1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
  2. Upload the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or install it from the WordPress.org plugin directory.
  3. Activate Stillgrey Design Product Studio for WooCommerce.
  4. Open Product Studio from the WordPress admin menu.

FAQ

Where are my products stored?

Products, variations and media remain in WooCommerce and the WordPress media library. Deactivating Product Studio does not remove them.

Does this replace the standard WooCommerce product editor?

No. Product Studio provides a faster workspace for common catalogue tasks. The native WooCommerce editor remains available for advanced settings and extensions.

Is tier pricing required?

No. The tier-pricing section only appears when the supported U2Code plugin is active. All core product-management features work without it.

Does the plugin send data to Stillgrey Design?

No. The plugin does not make external requests and does not send catalogue or usage data to Stillgrey Design.
