I would like to know how would one add the category description underneath the category title on the woocommerce shop by category page? Here is what I've tried"

function woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title_short_description() {
    global $product;

    if ( ! $product->post->post_excerpt ) return;
    ?>
    <div itemprop="description">
        <?php echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_short_description', $product->post->post_excerpt ) ?>
    </div>
    <?php
}
add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title_short_description', 5);

but this doesn't show the cat description under the category title in the shop page any help would be greatly appreciated.

To display loop product category item description below the title, use one of the following:

Inside the term link:

add_action('woocommerce_after_subcategory_title', 'display_short_description_after_shop_loop_item_title', 10 );
function display_short_description_after_shop_loop_item_title( $category ) {
    if ( $description = $category->description ) {
        echo '<p class="'. $category->slug .' cat-description" itemprop="description">' . $description . '</p>';
    }
}

Outside the term link:

add_action('woocommerce_after_subcategory', 'display_short_description_after_shop_loop_item_title', 20 );
function display_short_description_after_shop_loop_item_title( $category ) {
    if ( $description = $category->description ) {
        echo '<p class="'. $category->slug .' cat-description" itemprop="description">' . $description . '</p>';
    }
}

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
