If you look at woocommerce/templates/content-single-product.php
you’ll see that the product summary is constructed using hooks with different priorities.
Here’s the relevant section:
<?php
/**
* woocommerce_single_product_summary hook
*
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_title - 5
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_rating - 10
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_price - 10
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_excerpt - 20
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart - 30
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_meta - 40
* @hooked woocommerce_template_single_sharing - 50
*/
do_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary' );
?>
The price has a priority of 10, the excerpt has a priority of 20. To swap them around, change the priorities by modifying the actions in your child theme’s functions.php
.
Like this:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 10 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 20 );
