    }

    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop', function () {
        if ( ! is_paged() ) {
            echo '<div class="term-description wpide-term-description-below">';
            woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description();
            echo '</div>';

For classic templates; the description shows on the first page of each category only, as WooCommerce does by default.
