Customizing the “Hello” Message on the WooCommerce My Account Page

In a recent Business Bloomer Club discussion, a member sought assistance in modifying the greeting message on the WooCommerce My Account page.

By default, the message includes the user’s username, which may not provide a personalized experience for customers. Instead, the goal is to display “Hello {first name}” and “not {first name}” to create a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere.

This customization can be achieved by utilizing a filter in WooCommerce to modify the greeting string, allowing for a dynamic and personalized experience based on user data.

WooCommerce: How to Implement AI Translation

Reaching customers globally can increase your WooCommerce website sales.

Besides, because your WooCommerce website can now operate in several countries, this reduces dependence on a single market and the risks associated with economic downturns and changes in consumer behavior.

To reach customers globally throughout the world, it is necessary to have a WooCommerce website that is available in their native language, as a huge percentage of online customers prefer to purchase products that are accompanied by information presented in their language.

This means you have to create a multilingual WooCommerce website, and AI translation may help you get there faster.

WooCommerce: Translate / Rename Content @ Order Emails

WooCommerce order emails customization is possibly the most wanted feature for WooCommerce store owners and developers right now. It is very difficult to edit the default templates and it’s no surprise there are many email customizer plugins out there.

We’ve already seen how to add content to specific WooCommerce emails, how to add custom email CSS, how to display product images, and more, but today I’d like to teach you a quick workaround to edit the default email text strings such as the initial greeting (‘Hi Mary,‘) or other sentences (‘We have finished processing your order.‘, ‘The following note has been added to your order:‘, ‘Just to let you know — we’ve received your order, and it is now being processed:‘, etc.).

With “edit”, of course, I mean either change the text, or completely hide it. So, let’s see how it’s done. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Top Multilingual Plugins

I have spoken about the need to internationalize your WooCommerce store before. There are all-in-one, country-based plugins that let you ensure your store is ready for a specific country’s audience (e.g. Germany, Japan, Brazil, Italy and the Czech Republic).

But this isn’t exactly the right type of plugin for the merchant who is trying to service a truly international audience spread across various countries or continents. For this type of merchant, the first two steps are to add multi-currency and multilingual support.

Fortunately, just as there are many multi-currency plugins out there, there are quite a few WooCommerce-dedicated multilingual plugins to choose from. One of the plugins mentioned below even lets you do both!

In this listicle, we are going to compare the most popular multi-language plugins available for WooCommerce stores. Let’s jump right in.

WooCommerce: Rename “Tags” Label @ Single Product Page

A #CustomizeWoo student reached out for premium support in regard to “WooCommerce taxonomies”. The question was: How do I change the label “tag” into something else, for example “brand”? Well, this is how it’s done!

Please note that this does not change the “tag” permalinks (URL, slug, etc), but only the “Tags” label on the frontend, and only on the Single Product Page.

WooCommerce: Edit “You may also like…” Heading @ Single Product Page

Since WooCommerce 4.1, there is now an easy way to edit the “You may also like…” WooCommerce string that appears on the Single Product Page, thanks to a brand new “PHP filter”. Kudos to Damien Carbery for reporting this new method.

So, as usual, simply copy/paste the snippet below in your child theme’s functions.php and it will do what it says on the tin. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Translate “Shipping” @ Cart Totals

The cart totals table cell title “Shipping” or “Shipping and Handling” appears also on the checkout page. So, what if you wish to “translate” this string from English to “better” English or completely customize it? Thankfully there’s a quick 4 lines snippet for you. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: How to Translate / Rename Any String

There are times you don’t want to translate the whole installation of WooCommerce just for renaming one short string. There are times you need to rename a label or a little thing and don’t feel like installing a bloated translation plugin.

It doesn’t matter whether you want to rename a string in the original language (English, usually), or change the default translated string in a different language. Either way, and thankfully, there’s a little PHP snippet that will work for you instantly. Enjoy!
