woocommerce on page templates

Ive made a new page template and copied the woocommerce archive-product.php into it but while the shop page works, the custom page does not, is there a way to make it function the same as the shop page? noticed it also does not pull in anything else from visual composer or normal content.

For those who wants custom woocommerce shop template ( archive-product ) here is a sample template, which can be customized to any extent.

<?php

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
    exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}

get_header( 'shop' ); ?>

<?php
/**
 * woocommerce_before_main_content hook
*
* @hooked woocommerce_output_content_wrapper - 10 (outputs opening divs for the content)
* @hooked woocommerce_breadcrumb - 20
*/
do_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content' ); ?>

<?php if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_show_page_title', true ) ) : ?>

    <h1 class="page-title"><?php woocommerce_page_title(); ?></h1>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description' ); ?>

<?php

global $post, $product;

$args = array( 
    'post_type'=>'product', 
    'posts_per_page'=>-1, 
    'orderby'=>'date', 
    'order'=>'ASC'      
);
// get all the posts ( here it would be all the wc products )
$posts = get_posts( $args );

/**
 * woocommerce_before_shop_loop hook
 *
 * @hooked woocommerce_result_count - 20
 * @hooked woocommerce_catalog_ordering - 30
 */
do_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop' );

if( count( $posts ) > 0 ) { 

    woocommerce_product_loop_start();

    woocommerce_product_subcategories();

    foreach( $posts as $post ) {
        // this will put the current post into the GLOBAL $post object
        setup_postdata( $post );
        // this will put the product data into GLOBAL $product object
        wc_setup_product_data( $post ); ?>

        <!-- Now you have valid WP loop, put the content-product template here -->
        <?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>

        <?php 
    }

    woocommerce_product_loop_end(); 

} else {
    wc_get_template( 'loop/no-products-found.php' );
}

/**
 * woocommerce_after_shop_loop hook
 *
 * @hooked woocommerce_pagination - 10
 */
do_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop' );

/**
 * woocommerce_sidebar hook
 *
 * @hooked woocommerce_get_sidebar - 10
 */
do_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar' );

get_footer( 'shop' ); ?>
