WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide: My Account Pages

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!

WooCommerce: Disable Postcode/ZIP Validation @ Checkout

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

WooCommerce: Display Sales to Admin @ FrontEnd

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

WooCommerce: Add Tracking Code / Script @ Thank You Page

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!

WooCommerce: Hide Shipping By Shipping Class

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.

WooCommerce: Add Shipping Fee for Non-Continental States

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!

WooCommerce: Disallow Shipping to PO BOX Address

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!

WooCommerce: Define a Minimum Order Amount

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Minimum Order Amount. This snippet displays an error notification on the Cart Page and an error message @ Checkout Process if the order is below a set threshold.

WooCommerce: Edit “Add to Cart” Text by Product Category

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.

WooCommerce: Remove Product Tabs, Show Long Description

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).

WooCommerce: Show Published Date @ Single Product

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 🙂

WooCommerce: Show Only 1 Category @ Shop Page

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!

WooCommerce: Disable Link to Single Product @ Shop

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!

WooCommerce: Disable Payment Method If Product Category @ Cart

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Checkout and specifically at how to disable a payment gateway (e.g. PayPal) if a specific product category is in the Cart.

There are two tasks to code in this case: (1) based on all the products in the Cart, calculate the list of product categories in the Cart and (2) disable a specific payment ID if the target product category is in the Cart.

May sound difficult but don’t worry – solution is right below. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Add First Name to Order Email Subject

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Emails and specifically at how to change the subject of the Customer Processing Order email by adding the billing “First Name”. As usual, this is a matter of 3 lines of PHP code – feel free to copy/paste and customize it to your liking 🙂

WooCommerce: Disable Payment Gateway For Specific Shipping Method

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Checkout Page and specifically at how to disable a payment gateway (for example PayPal) when a specific shipping method is selected (e.g. “local_pickup”).

Specifically, you will learn how to “get” the selected shipping method on the go (thanks to “sessions”), and also how to “unset” a payment gateway. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Move Product Gallery Thumbnails

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Single Product Page and specifically at how to move the image gallery from under the main image to somewhere else, for example in the short description. Enjoy! Continue reading WooCommerce: Move Product Gallery Thumbnails

WooCommerce: Exclude Category from ‘products’ Shortcode

The WooCommerce [products] shortcode displays all products in your shop. There is even an attribute called “category” where you can specify comma-separated list of category slugs in order to further filter the output.

What you can’t do is define a list of unwanted categories (think of “uncategorized” for example) i.e. a list of categories you want to exclude from the products shortcode output.

So, here’s the fix, enjoy!

WooCommerce: Display Stock Availability @ Shop Page

In this tutorial, my goal is to show the “stock availability” under each product in the shop, category and archive pages.

This follows exactly the same settings as the stock display of the single product page. Go to /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=products&section=inventory to manage “Stock display format”. Enjoy!
