WooCommerce: Turn Checkout Field Into a Drop-down

Talking about UX optimization, the WooCommerce checkout is where you should focus most of your time. Shopping cart abandonment is a huge issue – think about hidden charges, lack of payment methods, checkout bugs and, also, too many checkout fields to fill out manually.

Today, we will see how to turn a checkout text field into a select dropdown. Why not let customers pick from a list instead of typing in? Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Send Checkout User Info to Email Recipient

When my blog readers become official Business Bloomer supporters, a few custom fields are conditionally displayed on the WooCommerce checkout (thanks to this snippet or this other snippet).

For example I show a custom user Twitter field. Thanks to the snippets, this is automatically saved into the WordPress User Profile page. But as I love to thank each Business Bloomer supporter on Twitter, I wanted to generate an additional email reminder (to myself, or to an assistant’s email address for example) with the Twitter username I should be thanking. You might need something like this if you need to send a new customer email address to a coworker. Or maybe a new address to a dropshipper…

So, how do you send a custom email with some user information, after such user completes the checkout and a new WooCommerce order is created? Continue reading WooCommerce: Send Checkout User Info to Email Recipient

WooCommerce: How to Enable Multi-Currency?

If you got here it’s because you’re looking to increase your sales conversion rate by enabling “Multi-Currency” in your WooCommerce website.

The concept behind the currency switcher is simple: if I’m based in Europe I’d love paying in Euros, while if I were based in US I wouldn’t fancy the same treatment and I’d prefer paying in US Dollars – and so on. The more currencies, the higher your conversion rate.

Unfortunately you can only pick one currency from the WooCommerce settings, so you’ll need a plugin for enabling Multi-Currency. And despite there are many WooCommerce currency switcher plugins out there, there is one that stands out from the crowd.

A good currency switcher plugin for WooCommerce has many requirements. First of all, great support and clean code – when dealing with online payments you have to be sure everything works perfectly and that online customers don’t abandon the checkout. Second, Multi-Currency should work together with geolocation: manually selecting currencies is ok and all, but displaying automatically the correct currency based on IP address is much better UX. Finally, you should have the option of deciding conversion rates yourself or using reliable automatic database checking for daily exchange rate checking.

Thankfully, you can achieve all that with a single plugin.

WooCommerce: How to Redirect Users to a Custom Thank You Page?

I believe this is the wrong question – and in a moment I will explain you why.

The right question to ask should be: “Is it a good idea to redirect WooCommerce customers to a custom thank you page?”. And the correct answer is: “No”. Continue reading WooCommerce: How to Redirect Users to a Custom Thank You Page?

WooCommerce: Should I Use PayPal or Stripe @ Checkout?

Yet another million dollar WooCommerce question… not! In fact, the answer is pretty damn easy: you should enable both payment gateways on your WooCommerce checkout (sorry about the spoiler). And here’s the proof.

WooCommerce: Display $0.00 Amount For Free Shipping Rates

In the past, WooCommerce Cart and Checkout pages used to show “$0.00” beside each free shipping rate. Now, this is gone and WooCommerce only shows the shipping rate name, without the 0 amount.

But given that many freelance clients requested this customization, today we’re bringing this back to life with just a few lines of PHP. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Display Product Categories @ Cart & Checkout Pages

While working for a freelance client I had to “detect” the cart item categories in order to apply some PHP customization.

So I thought – why not share with you how to display product categories in the Cart and Checkout? This adds a nice touch to those two vital pages, and prints a list of product categories under each cart item.

Also, I’m glad to introduce you to the amazing world of “wc_get_product_category_list“, a very handy WooCommerce PHP function!

WooCommerce: Per-Product Terms & Conditions @ Checkout

A freelance client sells two distinct products on the same website: a membership and an online course. Two different audiences, different formats and… different Terms & Conditions.

The goal was therefore to display the “Terms & Conditions” checkbox on the Checkout page based on the product in the cart. Once again, we’re going to use Conditional Logic. With that, the snippet is pretty easy to code!

WooCommerce: Hide Shipping If Local Pickup Is Selected

Efficient shipping options are a vital part of any successful WooCommerce store, but sometimes simplifying the checkout experience can significantly improve user satisfaction.

By hiding the shipping address form when local pickup is selected, you provide a cleaner, more intuitive checkout flow, reducing the risk of customers making incorrect selections or abandoning their carts altogether.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to use a simple PHP snippet to dynamically hide the shipping address on the WooCommerce legacy checkout when local pickup is chosen as the preferred option.

This approach not only enhances the user experience but also minimizes potential fulfillment errors. Whether you’re a store owner or developer working on custom WooCommerce solutions, mastering this tweak will help you offer a smoother, smarter checkout.

Let’s dive into the code that makes it happen!

WooCommerce: Add “Confirm Email Address” Field @ Checkout

A correct email address is worth a thousand dollars, some ecommerce expert would say 🙂 So, you don’t want your WooCommerce checkout visitors to mess up with that, do you?

What about adding an “Email Verification” field? In this way, we can make sure they double check their entry – and also show an error message in case they don’t match!

Let’s see how I implemented this for a freelancing client of mine – I’m sure you will be grateful!

WooCommerce: Deny Checkout if User Has Pending Orders

As WooCommerce snippet requests by Business Bloomer Club members keep coming to our private Slack channel, it’s time to publish a very useful customization.

Today, we’ll see how to deny purchasing to a given billing email address, if such a customer happens to have a pending order already!

WooCommerce Checkout Fields Customization Guide

The WooCommerce Checkout page plays a huge role in your ecommerce success. It is one of the most important part of your conversion funnel. This is the page that brings revenue.

It doesn’t matter how many people are visiting your website – if no one makes any purchase. Complicated checkout process is one of the main reasons for shopping cart abandonment.

You should always look for ways to make your checkout process as simple as possible. If you are using WooCommerce as your ecommerce solution you can easily change the checkout page design, remove or change the existing checkout fields order.
