WooCommerce - custom product page

Question

I'm planning a WooCommerce plugin which should override the default shop page "product grid" with my own (a masonry grid with custom styling, pagination and filters). I see that many developers include template pages in their plugins (archive-product.php) to customize the shop loop output; is this the only way to do it? I'm asking because I would let the user to customize his grid in WP admin screen (you know, changing columns count, products per page, load-more button/infinite scroll, etc).

Thanks in advance.

To answer your question, it's not the only way. You can also register your own custom template in your plugin, which can be called pretty much anything.
