EAN for WooCommerce adds each product’s EAN to its structured data automatically, as a free feature. To check or change it, go to WPFactory > EAN (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > EAN), open the General section, and find Product structured data. Keep Enable and Automatic key on so the correct GTIN property is used.
Where to find it #
Go to WPFactory > EAN (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > EAN), open the General section, and find the Product structured data group.
Options #
| Label | Option ID | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enable | alg_wc_ean_frontend_product_structured_data |
Yes | Adds the EAN to the product structured data output by WooCommerce. |
| Rank Math SEO plugin | alg_wc_ean_frontend_product_structured_data_rank_math_seo |
No | Adds the EAN to the structured data generated by the Rank Math SEO plugin instead. |
| Automatic key | alg_wc_ean_frontend_product_structured_data_key_auto |
Yes | Picks the schema property from the EAN type: gtin8, gtin12, gtin13, gtin14, or gtin. |
| Custom key | alg_wc_ean_frontend_product_structured_data_key |
gtin | The schema property to use when Automatic key is turned off. |
How the automatic key maps to the EAN type #
- EAN-8 uses
gtin8. - UPC-A uses
gtin12. - EAN-13, ISBN-13, and JAN use
gtin13. - EAN-14 uses
gtin14. - All other types use
gtin.
Steps #
- Leave Enable on (it is on by default).
- Keep Automatic key on so the correct GTIN property is chosen for each product. Turn it off and set a Custom key only if a specific integration needs one fixed property.
- If you build your schema with Rank Math SEO, also tick the Rank Math SEO plugin option.
- Click Save changes, then validate a product page with Google’s Rich Results Test.
