Do I need to create a child theme for a WooCommerce template?

Hi,
I'm trying to re-create a form on my landing page that users can fill and checkout directly. This uses a WooCommerce add-on called a One-Page Checkout.
In my current theme, this was done by creating a custom template in a child theme. I'm trying to avoid creating a child theme with GeneratePress, unless it's necessary.
On this page, WooCommerce says that some themes have WooCommerce support. I know GP does too. Does this mean that I can just put the template directly into the GP theme folders? Or will I need to create a child theme? If so, is there a way to achieve this using Code Snippets?
You can see a link to my current landing page below.
Thanks!
Hi there,
you will still require a Child Theme to make those amends. If you made the changes inside the GP Theme directory those would be lost when the theme is updated.
Thanks David.
You're welcome
