Customizing the WooCommerce “My Account” page is one of the most requested features by designers and developers.
The “My Account” page of an ecommerce website is absolutely vital to the smooth running of its operations, should be well designed in order to allow users to fully make the most of account management and – of course – can be customized in order to convert more sales and or entice for return business.
The “My Account” page is an actual WordPress page (you can find it under “Pages”) which contains a WooCommerce shortcode. Such shortcode outputs the default account management tabs and their unique content.
In order to customize the look, feel, layout, content and design of the “My Account” page (and all its subpages of course, such as the “Edit Address” page), you have two different choices. If you’re familiar with PHP customization, almost anything can be achieved with simple snippets: add a custom tab, remove a tab, change the content of a tab, sort tabs, and so on. We’ve seen this already on Business Bloomer but I’ll link to a few articles and tutorials below as a reminder.
The other sleek alternative is to use a plugin. Sometimes, this might be a quick and error-free way to achieve what you need without the need of having to code. It’s up to you – so in this article we will see both methods!
1. WooCommerce “My Account” Customization Snippets
As a WooCommerce freelancer, I love coding and achieving things without installing plugins. That’s me though, so you might think that differently.
If you like challenges, PHP and WooCommerce hooks allow you to achieve pretty much anything on the “My Account” page.
Before listing some of the snippets I love, I suggest you go study my WooCommerce “My Account” Visual Hook Guide: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-visual-hook-guide-account-pages/ – this will give you an idea of how the account management pages are coded and what “hooks” you can use to display additional content.
Once you’ve done that, you can take a look at these useful snippets (the links should be self-explanatory):

2. WooCommerce “My Account” Customization Plugins
Suppose your goal is to offer outstanding customer service. In that case, you can customize the My Account Page to provide your customers with the information they’re searching for, answer their questions via FAQs, or allow them to download user or instructional guides.
While the standard WooCommerce installation doesn’t come with many customization abilities or user-friendly ways to add additional custom fields – you can easily achieve it using custom WooCommerce My Account page plugins.
You don’t want your customers to scour through your store to get answers to their questions – only to frustrate them in the process. Instead, you can make the My Account page a comprehensive hub for your customers – where they can find user guides and information about warranties, past orders, or even rewards.
Here’s how your store benefits by customizing the WooCommerce My Account page:
- Minimized product returns: Adding additional product information, instructional guides, or manuals will help customers feel confident about the products they’re willing to purchase – reducing the likelihood of returns.
- Increased customer loyalty: Customizing the My Account page helps make their lives easier by giving them all the information they need at an easy-to-find location, which also eliminates the need to contact customer service. It also offers them a place to find exclusive discounts and coupons for being your loyal customers.
- Maximum customer retention: Offering additional coupons and discounts on the My Account Page can help you make your customers keep coming back and make them eager – so they check in from time to time for new sales and offers.
- Reduced customer complaints/inquiries: 67% of customers prefer self-service over calling specific representatives. Providing user guides and an all-in-one place to view products and look for answers will make them less likely to contact you for the same or other inquiries.
Now that we’ve seen how customizing the My Account page helps you and your customers – let’s see some plugins you can use to take your store’s customer experience to the next level.

My store’s demographic is 60+. It seems like everyone forgets how to login or has a problem figuring out where it is and what their user name and PW is. Help! How can I make it more user friendly…especially with login credentials? Thanks so much.
I’m not an expert to be honest. Maybe they could login with their phone number?
Can we add more fields to our login form? Such as security questions?
Hi Andy, 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!
Quick question… with Woo Memberships, can you have different account pages for different membership types?
Example: we have a premium membership for our podcast with a recurring subscription that gets you access to certain premium content, and we also have a 1-time fee membership to a course. Could we have separate account pages for each?
Hey Pete!
What about the same page but with different content blocks, which conditionally show based on membership level?

Hi Rodolfo,
I have a free theme and recently used the woocommerce tool to reinstall missing pages. That worked flawlessly however, in the “My Account” page, the password box is too short to reflect any data input. All I would be looking to do is to fix that, would you have any pointers (I am a complete novice, in all things WP)
I have linked to my page in the website text box.
Cheers,
Mike
You have a CSS conflict, so try to disable all plugins but Woo and switch theme to see if it goes away

Hi Rodolfo,
I have checked many pages of yours and still not able to find my answer. I am looking for an option to add a few custom fields on the my account page. This should be for every client different.
I am selling subscriptions and i want them to see their username, password and link wich is for every person different. They all have their own login details and this is created by another system wich is connected to my server. So i have to fill it in manually. Is this even possible?
thanks!
Hi Angelo, 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!
Hi Rodolfo,
I am trying to understand the dynamic of Taxes. Apparently, if your store is located in Italy (I am working on a webstore for a client located in Italy), you need to charge VAT (22%) to private people who are located within the EU. This 22% can be waived if who buys the products in the webstore is a company (not a private person) which provides the VAT ID when buying. My questions are: are you aware of this? If this is true, then I assume that when someone registers on the website will have to add the VAT ID in his profile and if the VAT ID is entered then woocommerce will not charge the taxes during checkout. Have you had any experience on this? I tried searching online for answers, but unsuccessfully. Thanks.
Hi Dave, you could add a custom checkout field and then use https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-remove-tax-checkout-field-value-exists/ to charge 0% tax
Hi Rodolfo
I want to change the layout for the tabs “Account details, Orders, Lost passwords and Logout” . How do I change the landing of these pages. Should I change the pages individually as I would have with other pages, or is there another way of doing this?
How do I change the purposes of these pages to stage the effects that they were named for?
Regards
Mathys, you’d use hooks specific to those pages and hide/display the content you prefer. Hope this helps!
Hi Rodolfo !

Hi Rodolfo
Thx for all your help. I am looking for more customer info on profile. Like numbers of orders. Amount spend, reg. Date,
Last order was x days ago, and an admin note.
Best regards

Great!
Hi there! Thank you so much for this info. I have a question. I’m currently setting up a store for handmade Custom Dresses and what I want is to change the name on a few tabs like “my account details” to “my designs”, and on this tab, be able to place a form where the customer can fill in their specific measures on the chart I provide, and also upload a picture of the design they want, and finally choose a color. Is it going to be possible for me to see that? and after they fill in these details, a way for them to submit it for a quote and then after quote be able to see it there and have an order button. I think all of this would be able to fit in on: “my account details” I just don’t know what would be the easiest and simple way to do it. Do you think this plugin you are recommending would help me with all of that? Thank you so much in advance!
Hello Juriany, no I believe custom coding is what you need in this case
You are a genius, thanks so much for these. Much quicker than official support channel to do it myself with help from here!
Ahah thank you!
Hi Rodolfo,
Do you know if it’s even possible to have reCAPTCHA on the myAccount login page? I have reCAPTCHA on other login/register pages, but it won’t show up here.
I tried it on the YITH plugin demo and it seems at least to show up on the Register side, but I don’t know if it works also on the login side. Do you?
Hey Jarkko, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is possible – unfortunately this is custom work and I cannot provide a complementary solution here via the blog comments. Did you ask the plugin support?
Hi there. How do i change the landing page of “my account section” ? As soon as we click, i want to land on “edit account”. I don’t want to land on the dashboard. Thanks
Hello Godfroy, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is possible – unfortunately this is custom work and I cannot provide a complementary solution here via the blog comments. Thanks a lot for your understanding! ~R
It seems like you could do this with the mentioned YITH plugin. I just tried their demo site.
Thank, this is a powerfull plugin
Cool 🙂
Hi, re: my-account page – I know to leave the endpoints blank if I do not want the tabs shown, but how do I change the text below the user info to reflect the changes? (“From your account dashboard you can view your…”)
Thanks for all your help here, love what you’re doing!
Bryan

To hide/show specific account tabs to specific roles, do I need a customization or can I use a plugin like Yith?
Hey Aaron, thanks for your comment 🙂 You can use either – here’s a complete guide: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-how-to-customize-the-my-account-page/

Hello, I ask you a question: how do I separate the login and registration forms in woocommerce, that is, the login form is on one page and the registration form is on another page?
Thank you very much for your response.

Hey. I have a simple question. When i login from my account page i see different link buttons e.g Dashboard , orders , logout etc. All i want is to change the behavior of one of the link button (Dashboard button) and set it to one of the page i have created, so when user click dashboard , the site direct them to that page. How can i dot it?
Thanks
Hello Abad – thanks so much for your comment! Here you go: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-add-new-tab-account-page/
The example provided seems to open a page with the My Account page, i.e. to the right of all the “tabs”.
I’d like to do the same kind of thing but when clicked I want it to leave the My Account page and go to the other page just as if I’d clicked a page link anywhere else on my site.
Thoughts?
Follow up – forgot to mention the functionality I described should be involved with code to be adding a new tab as well.
How do you change the Page title for individual tabs. We have the my-account shortcode placed in the “Profile” page. So all tabs accessed only have “Profile” as the title. I’d love to be able to modify it to show “Profile – {tab_name}”
Hey Matthew, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is possible – but unfortunately this is custom work and I cannot provide a complementary solution here via the blog comments. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding! ~R
Hi,
Is it possible to make different account pages based on a role?
Regards,
Kees
Hey Kees, thanks so much for your comment! I’m sure it is, but it would be time consuming… why not hiding/showing specific account tabs to specific roles instead?
You’re so amazing how you love to help people i always follow your snippets to edit my website thank you so much !
Thanks a million Emre 🙂
