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!

add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'bbloomer_upsells_thankyou' );

function bbloomer_upsells_thankyou() {
	echo '<h2>Buy Some More?</h2>';
	echo do_shortcode( '[products ids="186177,186179,186181"]' );
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
