WavePlayer allows any WooCommerce user who sells audio-related products to automatically insert an instance of the player in connection with each product.
Whether you use your website to sell songs or licenses of your music library or sound effects or the latest episodes of your podcast, you probably experienced the hassles of manually adding a player in the short or full description of your products. WavePlayer offers you a seamless integration, using the WooCommerce product editor you are already familiar with.
It is important to understand the meaning and purpose of preview files. When you sell downloadable products, WooCommerce uploads their related files to a special folder that is restricted from any access in the browser. This makes those files not accessible to any other elements of your website, including WavePlayer.
That is why WavePlayer adds a Preview File section to the Advanced tab of the WooCommerce product editor. When you add one or more preview files to a WooCommerce product, WavePlayer will automatically insert into the product page and the product list item of the Shop page an instance of the player containing those preview files.
If you want to take advantage of the WooCommerce integration, you can follow these steps:
WavePlayer will store the preview files as metadata of the corresponding product in the database.
The main advantage of the preview file is that you can let WavePlayer do automatically what you used to do manually when you had to add a player in the description of the product. Moreover, this automation avoids any possible problem with the formatting of the page, because WavePlayer always inserts the player following the configuration you choose in the settings, for both the Product Page and the Shop.
As we pointed out earlier, it is important to understand that preview files should be different from downloadable files, as you don’t want to freely expose in the browser what your visitors are supposed to buy. When preparing the preview files of your downloadable tracks, you want to consider what follows:
