In my opinion, the WooCommerce Cart table is somewhat confusing. Why isn’t the “sale price” displayed there? Well, this is a mystery!
I’m pretty confident that showing the “slashed” price would actually help your conversion rate.
So, what about 10 PHP lines in exchange for an increase in sales? Great! Here’s the snippet 🙂

Today’s snippet has been widely requested by many readers, clients and WooCommerce fans. We already saw in the past how to Limit State Dropdowns to One State Only (for both Shipping & Billing) and How to Sell to one State only (Billing).
However, we never covered a much more common setting: what happens when Billing is allowed to every state but Shipping is limited?
In order to get a little help, I’ve reached out to Diego Zanella, a WooCommerce genius who is also the author of the Aelia Currency Switcher plugin for WooCommerce.

This week’s snippet is about the Cart Page (perfect timing, as in a few days I will run a free class on “How to Customize the WooCommerce Cart Page“).
Today we’ll focus on the “You may be interested In…” section, also called the “Cross-Sells” area. If a product that is in the cart has cross-sells (Edit Product > Product Data > Linked Products), this section will appear by default. Problem is – it is pretty ugly where it is now and distracts the user from identifying the “Proceed to Checkout” button, the most important CTA (Call To Action) of the Cart page.
So, how can me move it UNDER the Cart Totals, and make the design a little cleaner? Continue reading WooCommerce: Move & Change Number of Cross-Sells @ Cart Page
If you love Ecommerce as much as I do, and are passionate about Sales Conversion Rate and reducing Shopping Cart Abandonment, today’s snippet will come in handy.
Besides, this is officially the first guest blog on Business Bloomer (have ideas? Send me your proposal here)… so let me officially introduce you to today’s author: Jamie Gill, a WordPress & WooCommerce enthusiast from Bradford, UK.
Jamie managed to code a handy snippet to display inside Cart and Checkout totals the total amount of money a customer saved (sale prices plus coupon discounts). Over the years this snippet went through several revisions, but it’s still working smoothly – enjoy!

Here’s a visual hook guide for Storefront Theme by WooCommerce.
This visual guide belongs to my “Visual Hook Guide Series“, that I’ve put together so that you can find WooCommerce hooks quickly and easily by seeing their actual locations. Also, you can copy & paste in seconds and speed up your customization time.

Hey WooCustomizers, the Visual Hook Guide is back 🙂
In this episode, I’ve created a visual HTML hook guide for the WooCommerce Account Pages (there are multiple pages such as the My Account as logged in user, My Account as logged out, etc). This visual guide belongs to my “Visual Hook Guide Series“, that I’ve put together so that you can find WooCommerce hooks quickly and easily by seeing their actual locations – and you can also copy & paste in seconds unlike other “hook sniffer plugins” out there. Let me know in the comments what you think about this resource!
Enjoy!

An annoying thing for sellers based in Ireland (for example), is that we still don’t use post codes (they recently introduced them, but nobody’s using them). So, in today’s task, I want to show you how to disable the “REQUIRED” feature of the postcode on the checkout page.
We already saw how to completely remove the PostCode/ZIP field… but this time we wish to leave it on the checkout, and just avoid a validation error if we don’t enter anything. Continue reading WooCommerce: Disable Postcode/ZIP Validation @ Checkout
Here’s how to create custom WooCommerce Add to Cart HTML links / buttons and make them add a given quantity of a single product to cart and redirect to specific website pages.
This tutorial explains how to achieve that for simple products but also variable and grouped types.
I strongly recommend to read through all the post comments in case you’re not sure about something – many people have asked the same questions over and over again e.g. “is it possible to add more than 1 product to Cart?” (to which the answer is “no”, unless you create a Grouped Product).
With this guide it’s much easier to place Add to Cart buttons on custom landing pages, pricing tables, blog posts and so on. Enjoy!

Hello WooCommerce Customizers!
Today is episode #18 of my “18 snippets in 18 days” challenge… yes, I’ve made it! In the last 18 days I’ve added a good amount of WooCommerce code tutorials and I hope you appreciate the effort!
If you haven’t shared on social media or left a comment yet, it is time to spread the word and share the WooLove right now 🙂
Today’s goal is quite atypical, but I love that. A client needed to see on the frontend, almost in real time, who bought which product and their names. The sell Yoga classes via WooCommerce and simply needed to make sure who’s on what class! Continue reading WooCommerce: Display Sales to Admin @ FrontEnd
How do you add a tracking code to the WooCommerce Thank You Page? Well, with a simple snippet (and no plugin) you can!
No matter whether you’re using Google AdWords, Facebook or other forms of marketing – the Thank You Page is such an important section of an ecommerce store and needs some TLC!
Continue reading WooCommerce: Add Tracking Code / Script @ Thank You Page
Our goal is to check if a Product with a specific Shipping Class is in the Cart, and consequently disabling a shipping rate such as Free Shipping if this is true.
This is super useful when there are multiple items in the cart and you don’t want to give free shipping for certain orders for example.
Continue reading WooCommerce: Hide Shipping By Shipping Class
Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Checkout page and specifically at how to add a Custom Extra Fee for Non-Continental US States.
You can do the exact same thing for a non-US State, as long as customers will feel comfortable in paying extra!

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Checkout page and our goal is to disallow placing an order to customers that enter a PO BOX address. I don’t remember where I got this snippet from, but either way I’m glad to share it again!

Continue reading WooCommerce: Define a Minimum Order Amount
Today we take a look at the WooCommerce “Add to Cart” buttons. What if you wanted to change the “Add to Cart” text depending on the Product Category? For example, you may want to show “Buy Now” for books and “Add to Basket” for cds.
Continue reading WooCommerce: Edit “Add to Cart” Text by Product Category
Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Single Product page and specifically at how to remove the whole Product Tabs Section, and re-add the Long Description on its own (and not inside a tab).
Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove Product Tabs, Show Long Description
Hello WooCommerce Customizers! Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Single Product Page and specifically at how to display the product/post published date. It might be useful to users in case you need to show how “new” a product is, or if you have specific needs. Enjoy 🙂
Continue reading WooCommerce: Show Published Date @ Single Product
Hello WooCommerce Customizers!
Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Shop page and specifically at how to show only the category you want (and exclude all the others). Some store owners may need this, you never know the weird questions you get asked!
Continue reading WooCommerce: Show Only 1 Category @ Shop Page
Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Loop / Shop Page and specifically at how to disable the link to the single products.
Some store owners prefer to skip the single product page, and simply have customers add to cart from the shop page. Enjoy!
