Hi experts, I am wondering if it is possible to have a "view product" button instead (or additional to) the "add to cart" button on the category page. Or is it possible to add a short description to the items on the category page? I don't think that an "add to cart" button makes sense if there is no item description but an image only.
Thanks for any tips!

   I to am looking for an answer to this.
   I have replaced the add to cart button with an image which I would like to click through to the product itself, don't want them to be able to add straight to the cart.

   Relatively simple, add the below to wp-content/yourTheme/functions.php:

   remove_action( 'jigoshop_after_shop_loop_item', 'jigoshop_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10, 2);
   add_action( 'jigoshop_after_shop_loop_item', 'jigoshop_template_loop_add_to_cart_custom', 10, 2);
   
   function jigoshop_template_loop_add_to_cart_custom( $post, $_product ) {
   
       do_action('jigoshop_before_add_to_cart_button');
   
       // do not show "add to cart" button if product's price isn't announced
       if ( $_product->get_price() === '' AND ! ($_product->is_type(array('variable', 'grouped', 'external'))) ) return;
   
       if ( $_product->is_in_stock() OR $_product->is_type('external') ) :
           if ( $_product->is_type(array('variable', 'grouped')) ) :
               $output = '<a href="'.get_permalink($_product->id).'" class="button">'.__('Select', 'jigoshop').'</a>';
           elseif ( $_product->is_type('external') ) :
               $output = '<a href="'.get_post_meta( $_product->id, 'external_url', true ).'" class="button">'.__('Buy product', 'jigoshop').'</a>';
           else :
               $output = '<a href="'.get_permalink($_product->id).'" class="button">'.__('View product', 'jigoshop').'</a>';
           endif;
       elseif ( ($_product->is_type(array('grouped')) ) ) :
           return;
       else :
           $output = '<span class="nostock">'.__('Out of Stock', 'jigoshop').'</span>';
       endif;
       echo $output;
   
       do_action('jigoshop_after_add_to_cart_button');
   
   }
