Product Sources

Product sources determine which products appear in your table. ProductBay offers several flexible source options.

Source Types

All Products

Displays all published products from your WooCommerce store.

• Best for: General product catalogs, store-wide listings
• Products included: All products with "Published" status

By Category

Select one or more WooCommerce product categories to populate your table.

• Best for: Category-specific pages, seasonal collections
• Search: Type to search and select categories from a dropdown
• Multiple categories: You can select multiple categories — products from all selected categories will be included

On Sale

Automatically includes only products currently on sale. This uses WooCommerce's native sale detection, which accounts for:

• Regular sale prices

• Scheduled sales (start/end dates)

• Variable product sales (if any variation is on sale)

• Best for: Sale pages, promotional landing pages

• Dynamic: Products automatically appear/disappear as sales start and end

Specific Products

Hand-pick individual products by searching for them.

• Search by name — Type a product name for fuzzy matching

• Search by ID — Enter an exact product ID

• Search by SKU — Enter a full or partial SKU

• Best for: Curated lists, featured products, comparison tables

Query Modifiers

Regardless of source type, you can further refine which products appear:

Exclude Product IDs

Enter one or more product IDs to exclude from the table. Useful for hiding discontinued items or products you don't want in a particular table.

Stock Status Filter

Option	Description
Any	Show products regardless of stock status
In Stock	Only products that are in stock
Out of Stock	Only products that are out of stock
On Backorder	Only products accepting backorders

Price Range

Set minimum and/or maximum price bounds to limit displayed products. Leave a field empty for no limit.

Sort Order

Configure the default sorting for your table:

TIP

This sets the default sort order. If sorting is enabled in table options, customers can re-sort by clicking column headers.
