WooCommerce: Programmatically Mark Products As Featured

For store owners managing hundreds of products, setting featured items manually is inefficient. A dynamic approach can save admin time by automatically marking products as featured based on specific conditions, such as category, price, or custom logic.

Thankfully, WooCommerce provides a filter hook that allows you to override the featured status on the fly. This means you can apply rules programmatically while keeping your admin time at zero.

Here’s how you can achieve this with a simple PHP snippet!

WooCommerce: Sort By Featured Products @ Shop

The “Default sorting” dropdown sorts products by menu_order and then title on the WooCommerce Shop, Category and Tag pages.
