Let’s say you’re developing a custom sales page or a landing page. A great way to increase your conversion rate is by showing the number of purchases close to the “add to cart” button.
We’ve already seen how to do this on the single product page, but what if you need to show this on a custom page, and therefore you need a shortcode?
Well, this is super easy and I’m currently using the snippet below on my own website, and specifically in the pricing table of the Business Bloomer Club. So, here you go – enjoy!
PHP Snippet: Display Product ID Total Sales Anywhere (Shortcode)
Simply use [sales id=”123″] where “123” is your product ID to show the number of product sales.
/**

*/
add_shortcode( 'sales', 'bbloomer_sales_by_product_id' );
function bbloomer_sales_by_product_id( $atts ) {
$units_sold = get_post_meta( $atts['id'], 'total_sales', true );
return $units_sold;
}
Doesn’t work only returns 0. Does order need to be in completed status? Or perhaps no longer works in WooCommerce 6.6? Or is it HPOS?
This relies on the product meta “total_sales” being updated by WooCommerce when an order is placed and goes to “completed”, “processing” or “on-hold”.
Hi! 🙂 How to add only 24 hours sales in code ? Thanks!
Hi David, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!
Hey, great tutorial, and how would I change the code if I would like to display the product sales on my homepage, rather than the product page?
Hi Eduardo, you can use this shortcode on any page/post
Didn’t work 🙁
Please expand on that?
Can I make it so several products?
Meaning calculate and view all the product sales from a specific category?
Meaning the id will calculate the entire product category sales, instead of one single product.
Yossef, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!
how can i get the total revenue or total amount of the product payments (sales) from product id?
Hey Franji, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!
Does it work with variable products?
Not sure, try it out. You could try with a single variation ID and/or a variable product ID
Your snippet count every both completed and cancelled orders as units sold…
It’s not my snippet, it’s WooCommerce fault in case you’re right, as total_sales variable is updated at checkout but not edited if an order is cancelled 🙂 You could use a version of this instead: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-count-product-recent-sales/
Hello Rodolfo,
Can you help me please to do it the total sales by category and the total sales in the shop.
Nikolay, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!
