How to Edit External & Affiliate Products on Frontend

External or Affiliate Products in WooCommerce are used to redirect your user to external websites or platforms. Instead of purchasing the product directly from your website, customers are redirected to another website/platform to complete the purchase. This allows you to promote and earn a commission from affiliate products or showcase products from other sellers. These types of products can be edited using the pro version of our Frontend Product Editor plugin.

Once you click on the edit button, you will have access to a set of settings that allow you to edit the product details. Here, you will learn about How to Edit Products On Frontend?
