 * How can I make this shortcode display one actual random product with every page
   refresh.
 * [product_category category=”home-decor” per_page=”1″ columns=”1″ orderby=”rand”
   order=”rand”]
 * Thank you!

 * Hey [@mauricioquito](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mauricioquito/),
 * The shortcode uses the standard WordPress WP_Query `orderby` and `rand` parameters.

 * You can see the WooCommerce code for the shortcodes in this file below on github.

 * You may have to code a custom solution if the standard WordPress query randomization
   functionality is not enough for you.
