WooCommerce: Apply Coupon @ Single Product Page

In WooCommerce, applying a coupon code is often part of the checkout flow, but wouldn’t it be convenient for customers to select a coupon directly on the product page before adding items to their cart?

By letting users apply discounts right at the start, you’re streamlining the shopping experience and increasing the likelihood of conversions.

In this post, we’ll show you a quick and effective code snippet to add this functionality to your WooCommerce store. With just a few lines, you’ll empower customers to apply their favorite discount on the product page itself, making the shopping process faster and more engaging.

This guide is perfect for store owners looking to improve user experience and simplify coupon management. Let’s dive in and get this feature running on your product pages!

WooCommerce: Enable Product Reviews for Logged Out Verified Customers

In WooCommerce, product reviews are a powerful way to build trust and encourage future purchases.

If you want to avoid spam, you’d usually select the “Reviews can only be left by verified owners” option, so that only logged in customers can leave reviews.

This can be limiting, especially if you want to allow verified buyers who are not logged in to share their feedback, without forcing them to log in first.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to customize WooCommerce to allow logged-out verified customers to leave product reviews.

With a simple PHP snippet, we’ll adjust WooCommerce review settings to accept reviews from users who have purchased a product, regardless of their login status. This way, you can enhance the customer experience while maintaining authenticity and security for product feedback.

Let’s dive into the code and get started!

WooCommerce: Automatically Apply Coupon Via URL

Recently, I decided to hide the “Apply coupon” form on the cart and checkout page. A coupon form can “distract” potential customers and have them to abandon the checkout to go looking for discount codes.

However, offering discounts is still a crucial strategy to encourage purchases and reward loyal customers. For example, the Business Bloomer Club lifetime membership is subject to Purchasing Power Parity discounts, and customers can get from 5% to 75% off based on their billing country – via a coupon.

The best compromise here is to apply coupons when customers visit specific URLs. In this way, you can simplify the checkout process, reduce friction, and potentially increase conversion rates.

In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the steps to set up automatic coupon application in WooCommerce, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for both you and your customers. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Rename My Account Endpoint Page Title

But first… what’s a WooCommerce My Account endpoint page title?

An endpoint refers to a specific tab of the “My Account” page, where customers can access various functionalities like viewing their orders, managing downloads, or updating addresses.

Each endpoint is associated with a H1 page title, which is displayed in the browser and helps users identify the content of that page.

For example, the default endpoint title for the orders tab is “Orders”. The page title for the downloads tab is “Downloads”. Pay attention – this is not about the tab label, but it’s the page title when a tab is clicked.

Customizing these endpoint page titles allows you to create a more intuitive and branded experience for your customers, making it easier for them to navigate the account area and find the information they need.

Let’s do it!

WooCommerce: Hide My Account “Downloads” Tab If User Has No Downloads

In WooCommerce, the “Downloads” tab of the My Account page is automatically visible to all users, even if they haven’t purchased any downloadable products. This can lead to a less-than-optimal user experience, as the tab might seem irrelevant or confusing to customers who don’t have any available downloads.

In this post, I’ll show you how to hide the “Downloads” tab for users who don’t have any downloadable products linked to their account.

With just a simple code snippet, you can make your WooCommerce store more streamlined and user-friendly by ensuring that only the customers who need to access the downloads section will see it in their account.

Whether you’re new to WooCommerce development or just looking for a way to tidy up the My Account page, this guide will walk you through everything you need. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Remove “Create shipping label” Ad @ Single Order Admin Page

Here we go again. It feels like the WooCommerce plugin has become the same as some of those free extensions you get from the repo that fill up the WordPress dashboard with ads, notices and banners.

This time around, let’s get rid of the “Print discounted shipping labels with a click. By clicking “Create shipping label”, WooCommerce Shipping will be installed and you agree to its Terms of Service. Create shipping label” banner that displays at the top (!) of the single order admin page when the status is processing or completed and shipping is required (see screenshot below).

Long live a world without ads!

WooCommerce: Prevent Orders From Blacklisted Email Addresses

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to add a simple email blacklist using a custom function that checks the customer’s email at checkout. By adding these 8 lines of PHP to your theme’s functions.php file, you’ll be able to prevent orders from specific email addresses efficiently. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Edit Custom Field @ Order Admin

Adding a custom field to your WooCommerce checkout is a breeze. It’s a fantastic way to collect extra information from your customers. It could be a custom Billing field, a Shipping field, or a completely unrelated custom field.

But while you can easily view the custom field data in the backend, editing it directly from the order admin is a frustratingly locked feature. This presents a significant challenge for businesses needing to modify order details post-purchase.

Luckily, a bit of custom code can fix this, giving you the flexibility and control you need to manage your orders effectively.

Let’s dive in and explore how to overcome this hurdle. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Get Customer ID From An Email Address

Customizing your WooCommerce store via PHP can involve a variety of tasks, from personalizing orders to managing customer interactions. Often, you might need to find a specific customer’s information, but all you have is their email address.

For example, on this same website, I have custom contact forms that give me a name and an email address upon submit. What if I need to check if the email address is an existing WooCommerce customer who has placed some orders?

Well, the PHP below will give you a quick way to “calculate” the customer ID if you only have an email address. It’s then easy to use the result in a custom calculation or core function, such as wc_get_orders().

WooCommerce: Notify Admin For Product Reviews But Not For WordPress Comments

WooCommerce product reviews are, actually, WordPress comments.

When you install WordPress, comment notifications for admins are turned on. You can choose to receive emails for all new comments, or only for comments that require moderation (haven’t been approved yet).

The problem is that if your site gets a lot of spam comments, you might be bombarded with emails. Even with legitimate comments, constant notifications can be overwhelming.

So what if we disable WordPress comment notifications all together, while we keep them enabled for WooCommerce product reviews only?

This is what we’ll code today – enjoy!
