Adding a “return to shop” button on single product pages that leads back to product parent category

My client wants to place a “return to shop” button on single product pages in WooCommerce that leads back to the previous page and not the main shop page.

I have explained that all browsers have back buttons but they are dead set on having this button. I’ve even mentioned activating breadcrumbs but they don’t like those either.

How can I achieve That. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer

You will get the category id by using bellow code and then add if condition to show the like

$product_category = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
