It’s great that WooCommerce adds the main structured data to the products so that they are then displayed in the rich snippets of Google and other search engines.
Displaying these rich results usually brings a competitive advantage in SERPs, both in CTR and conversions.
But, it’s not always what you’ll want. Sometimes you’ll prefer to hide some or all of the structured WooCommerce product data, and if that’s your case, here’s how to do it.
How to remove all structured data from WooCommerce products
To remove all the structured data that WooCommerce generates for products by default you must add the following code:
/* Remove structured data WooCommerce products */
function wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_products( $types ) {
if ( ( $index = array_search( 'product', $types ) ) !== false ) {
unset( $types[ $index ] );
}
return $types;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_structured_data_type_for_page', 'wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_products' );Code language: PHP (php)How to remove structured price data from WooCommerce
To remove only the structured data related to prices the code would be this one:
/* Remove structured data WooCommerce prices */
function wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_prices( $markup_offer, $product ) {
$markup_offer = array(
'availability' => 'https://schema.org/' . ( $product->is_in_stock() ? 'InStock' : 'OutOfStock' ),
'url' => get_permalink( $product->get_id() ),
'seller' => array(
'@type' => 'Organization',
'name' => get_bloginfo( 'name' ),
'url' => home_url(),
),
);
return $markup_offer;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_structured_data_product_offer', 'wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_prices', 10, 2 );Code language: PHP (php)How to remove structured inventory data from WooCommerce
To remove only the part that indicates if the product is in stock, this would be the code:
/* Remove structured data WooCommerce inventory */
function wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_inventory( $markup_offer, $product ) {
unset( $markup_offer['availability'] );
return $markup_offer;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_structured_data_product_offer', 'wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_inventory', 10, 2 );Code language: PHP (php)How to remove structured data from WooCommerce ratings.
To remove everything related to product ratings, including star ratings, use this code:
/* Remove structured data WooCommerce ratings */
function wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_ratings( $markup, $product ) {
unset( $markup['aggregateRating'] );
return $markup;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_structured_data_product', 'wphelp_remove_structured_data_woo_ratings', 10, 2 );Code language: PHP (php)And that should cover everything related to the structured data of WooCommerce products.
But don’t expect Google to reflect the changes immediately in their searches, it may take several months to reflect the new snippets.
