 * It’s possible. You’d need to hook a function into `woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title`
   that conditionally checks for the homepage before outputting the product description.

 * add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title’, ‘my_add_short_description’,
   9 );
 *  function my_add_short_description() {
    echo ‘<span class=”title-description”
   >’ . the_excerpt() . ‘</span>’; }
 * and if i remove span class than also the result is same.

 * Sorry, should have asked this question as well; what link is coming in?
 * Or do you mean that the excerpt is also part of the link? If it’s the latter,
   try hooking into `woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item` instead.
