Hello,

I’m developing a custom plugin that fetches product data (images, specifications, pricing, inventory, etc.) on-the-fly through the TecDoc API and integrates this data into WooCommerce without any local caching. My goal is to ensure that these products are correctly displayed throughout the XStore theme — not just in the standard WooCommerce positions, but also in all the custom areas introduced by the XStore theme (e.g., unique product page layouts, custom “quick view” pop-ups, custom product filters or widgets).

Currently, I do not have complete information on which hooks, filters, and template files XStore uses for product display outside of the standard WooCommerce hooks. To achieve seamless integration, I would greatly appreciate the following information:

1. A list of all custom hooks, filters, and templates that XStore employs for displaying products, galleries, prices, short and long descriptions, product meta data, “Add to Cart” buttons, and any other product-related elements on product pages, listing pages, shop archives, category/tag pages, quick view modals, and so forth.

2. Any available documentation or reference on how XStore modifies or extends the default WooCommerce structure. For example, are there specific functions to retrieve product data or display galleries? How does the theme recommend integrating or overriding product-related information so that custom data can be correctly rendered?

3. Recommendations and guidelines on how to integrate with the XStore ecosystem without disrupting functionality. For instance, is it preferable to use a child theme for certain modifications, which hooks should I leverage to inject data at the appropriate time, and how can I replace the default product data fetching methods with the API-driven approach so that the theme continues to function as expected?

Because all product data is retrieved on-the-fly from the API — with no local caching — it’s essential to know exactly where and when XStore expects product data to be available, as well as how it processes and presents this information. I need to ensure consistent and reliable product displays across all areas of the theme where products are shown.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and guidance.
