Auto Products Schema for WooCommerce

A small WordPress plugin that adds Product schema (JSON-LD) to every WooCommerce product page. No settings, no UI. Activate it and the markup appears in the page <head>.

Version 1.0 · Author: Suraj Dev

What it outputs

On single product pages only, the plugin prints one application/ld+json block with:

name: the product title
image: the main product image URL
description: the product's long description
sku: the SKU
brand: read from a product attribute named brand
offers: currency, price, availability (InStock or OutOfStock) and the product URL

Example output:

{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "Product",
  "name": "Example Product",
  "image": "https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/example.jpg",
  "description": "Product description.",
  "sku": "EX-001",
  "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "ExampleBrand" },
  "offers": {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "priceCurrency": "INR",
    "price": "499",
    "availability": "http://schema.org/InStock",
    "url": "https://example.com/product/example/"
  }
}

Install

Create a folder auto-schema-products-wc in wp-content/plugins/.
Put auto-schema-products-wc.php inside it.
Activate Auto Schema Products WC under Plugins in your WordPress admin.

Requires WooCommerce. The plugin does nothing on non-product pages.

Add a brand

The brand field comes from a product attribute with the slug brand. In WooCommerce, add a custom attribute called "brand" to each product, or create a global attribute named Brand under Products → Attributes. Products without it get an empty brand name.

Check that it works

Open a product page and view the page source. Search for application/ld+json.
Paste the product URL into Google's Rich Results Test.
Confirm the Product item is detected with no errors.

Read this before you install

WooCommerce already outputs its own Product schema. So do Yoast SEO, Rank Math and most SEO plugins. If you run this plugin next to any of them, each product page ends up with two or three competing Product blocks, and Google may flag duplicates or conflicts. Test with the Rich Results Test first. Use this plugin only if your site has no other source of Product markup, or if you've turned the others off.

Known limitations

Variable products: price is the product's current price, which for variable products is the lowest variation price. Per-variation offers are not output.
No ratings or reviews (aggregateRating, review).
No shipping or return policy fields, which Google's merchant listings can use.
description is the raw long description and can contain HTML tags.
Products with no featured image output an empty image value.
Uses http://schema.org URLs. Google accepts these, but https://schema.org is current.

These are the places a contribution would help most.
