WooCommerce: Display Product Up-sells @ Thank You Page

One of the most important WooCommerce pages, conversion-wise, is the Thank You page. That’s your chance to offer something special to a user that has just turned into a customer and is therefore more likely to purchase again.

We’ve seen how to include a whole WordPress page inside the Thank You page, how to redirect customers to a different Thank You page URL, how to display a custom social media share box on the Thank You page, but in this article I want to expand a little more on the topic and show a list of purchasable products via a shortcode.

The thing is that the Thank You page “does not exist” inside the WordPress pages, so you can’t just add a shortcode in a page. We must do that via a PHP action hook and the do_shortcode() WordPress function. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Display Product Reviews @ Custom Page (Shortcode)

WooCommerce product reviews shows by default in the “Reviews” tab in the single product page. But what if, like me, you’re using custom sales pages and need to show such reviews elsewhere – by using a shortcode?

I’ve spent some time doing this for two Business Bloomer pages, the contact page (beside the request a quote form) and the Bloomer Armada sales page (just above the pricing table), so I thought it would have been great sharing the snippet with you. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Recently Viewed Products (Shortcode)

Currently, you can use a widget to have the user see the list of products they recently viewed. This is great and sooner or later it will also become a Gutenberg block I believe.

But for now, let’s create our own shortcode… and let’s take advantage of the existing [products] shortcode and learn how we can “pass” product IDs to it without the need of reinventing the wheel.

This snippet teaches you where recently viewed products are stored (spoiler: in a cookie) and also how to use an existing shortcode… inside a new shortcode. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Count User Purchases By Product ID (Shortcode)

If you’re developing custom landing pages or sections dedicated to logged in customers, knowing the quantity purchased of a certain product ID might come useful.

We already saw how to detect whether a logged in customer has purchased a given product, as well as a snippet to return all products purchased by a specific user – but this time I want to “count” how many times a current user has purchased a product ID, and return this on the screen via a shortcode.

From this snippet you can learn lots of things, for example how to create custom shortcodes, how to get customer orders, and how to set up a foreach loop in PHP. Either way, enjoy!

WooCommerce: How to Write Shortcodes Without Outputting Content?

When I write tutorials like WooCommerce Separate Login & Registration Pages I often need to “write” on the screen the actual shortcode – but I don’t want the shortcode to output content!

For example, if I write [woocommerce_my_account] it’s guaranteed you won’t see “[woocommerce_my_account]“… you will see Business Bloomer’s My Account page content instead!

So there is a great workaround for those of you who write tutorials, snippets and WordPress articles and need to print the actual shortcode on the screen, without making it “process” its content and outputting it.

Enjoy! Continue reading WooCommerce: How to Write Shortcodes Without Outputting Content?

WooCommerce: Display Out of Stock Products (Shortcode)

A client of mine wanted to show out of stock products on a separate page – so I coded a simple shortcode for you all!

You can use this shortcode for different goals. For example, you might want to display what products you’ve sold to enhance customer trust / social proof.

So let’s see (1) how to create a shortcode and (2) how to take advantage of the existing [products] WooCommerce shortcode and its “ids” parameter to pass just those product IDs that are out of stock!

WooCommerce: Display All Products Purchased by User

When a WooCommerce customer is logged in, you might want to show the list of purchased products, for example in a custom “My Account” tab.

I decided to code this as a shortcode, so that you can use the snippet anywhere in your WooCommerce templates, as long as the user is logged in and as long as it has processing or completed orders. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Hide a Category from [product_categories] Shortcode

Sometimes solutions are very simple, and you don’t need rocket science to fix your issue!

A client of mine needed to hide a category from the Product Categories Shortcode (“product_categories”); in fact, there is no parameter that allows you to “exclude” a given product category such as “uncategorized” or whatever category you wish.

A rare issue, but once again a quick fix! Here’s how you do it.
