Custom shop page for woocommerce

/**
 * ORIGINAL COMMENT FROM WOOCOMMERCE - this is the file that has been modified and exists in the active theme
 *
 *
 *
 *
 * The Template for displaying product archives, including the main shop page which is a post type archive
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/archive-product.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
 * (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
 * maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
 * happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
 * the readme will list any important changes.
 *
 * @see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/
 * @package WooCommerce\Templates
 * @version 3.4.0

I was trying to create a custom shop page using short tags to put the products where I wanted under different sections. i had designed a page that looked perfect, but when i set it to the 'shop' page in the WC settings, it would automatically change the master template and add the products after my page (which already included the products).
this is probably going to break the category pages, but I am not using those on this site.
