WooCommerce variable products display a price range by default, which goes something like this: $MIN-$MAX. Now, wouldn’t it be nice, on the Shop page or Category Widget, to show the price range for each category?
Well, as usual this is a customization that can apply to certain online businesses only, so hopefully you’re one of them. Either way, this is yet another chance for you to learn PHP applied to WooCommerce. Enjoy!
PHP Snippet: Show Price Range Beside Product Category Names @ Shop Page
Note: this snippet replaces the the category product counter with the price range. In case you wish to display both, code changes slightly.
