“Replies: 0 Hello, We have an issue with the WooCommerce Product Schema. The Product Schema is currently using the WooCommerce Short Description as the “description” property, but we need it to use the Full/Long Product Description (post_content) instead.

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
WooCommerce stores using Yoast SEO that need fine-grained control over which product fields populate schema descriptions. No search volume provided; the single pain reply suggests a niche configuration problem, not mainstream demand.
Competition & the opening
Yoast SEO Premium includes schema controls, Rank Math offers custom field mapping, Schema Pro and WPSSO Core provide WooCommerce schema integration—this is a crowded 7/10 field. The gap: Yoast's built-in schema editor does not expose a dedicated field selector UI for choosing non-standard custom fields to override the Short Description default.
What's hard to build
Yoast's schema system is tightly coupled to its plugin architecture; intercepting and overriding the 'description' field mapping requires hooking into private Yoast filters and maintaining compatibility across Yoast major version upgrades, which frequently restructure schema logic.
Why now
Yoast and Rank Math dominate schema but neither exposes WooCommerce description field mapping granularly; a focused plugin solves a real WooCommerce-only itch.
