Keeping WooCommerce upsells at the very bottom of the single product page it’s kinda boring. In my view, WooCommerce users want to know there are upsells even before they scroll down (you also might want that: upsell means more profit). Amazon does that too.
In this tutorial, we will see not only how to move them to the top, right below the Add to Cart, but also how to customize the upsells output to show just 2 columns and remove default WooCommerce “loop” elements such as the Add to Cart. Enjoy!
PHP Snippet 1: Move (a.k.a. remove, then re-add) Product Upsells Under Add to Cart @ Single Product Page
/**
* @snippet Move upsells - WooCommerce Single Product
* @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE
* @author Rodolfo Melogli
* @compatible WooCommerce 3.5.7
* @community https://businessbloomer.com/club/
*/
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_upsell_display', 15 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_upsell_display', 39 );
PHP Snippet 2: Change Product Upsells Output to 2 Columns @ Single Product Page
/**
* @snippet Edit upsells columns - WooCommerce Single Product
* @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE
* @author Rodolfo Melogli
* @compatible WooCommerce 3.5.7
* @community https://businessbloomer.com/club/
*/
add_filter( 'woocommerce_upsell_display_args', 'bbloomer_change_number_related_products', 9999 );
function bbloomer_change_number_related_products( $args ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 2;
$args['columns'] = 2;
return $args;
}
PHP Snippet 3: Remove Default Elements From Product Upsells Output e.g. Add to Cart @ Single Product Page
/**
* @snippet Remove upsells Add to Cart - WooCommerce Single Product
* @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE
* @author Rodolfo Melogli
* @compatible WooCommerce 3.5.7
* @community https://businessbloomer.com/club/
*/
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item', 'bbloomer_customize_single_upsells' );
function bbloomer_customize_single_upsells() {
global $woocommerce_loop;
if ( $woocommerce_loop['name'] == 'up-sells' ) {
// remove add to cart button
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10 );
}
}
Hello,
on recent projects I am working with full site editing themes. After some trial and error I realized that all product page hooks I was working with so far are not working anymore. Am I right? So e.g. the here provided add_action( ‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’, ‘woocommerce_upsell_display’, 39 ); has no effect. I am also not able find any corresponding block element to output upsell products (similar to the Related Products block). What is your experience so far with full site editing and woocommerce? And do you have any suggestion on how to add upsell products to the product detail page?
FSE = not good for developers as there are no PHP hooks as of now.
However, I’m starting to publish some workarounds within my visual hook guides, and within the end of July 2024 you should get the one for the Single Product page as well.
Hope this helps
These codes work great but I want to move it above the add to cart button, where do I need to change it?
Change “39” with something lower
Hi Rodolfo! Thank you for the useful post.
However the first snippet
remove_action('woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_upsell_display', 15);doesn’t work. It just doesn’t remove the upsell products from the page.
I’m using WordPress 6.1.1, Storefront 4.2.0 and WooCommerce 7.4.0
Do you know what could be the issue?
Thank you
Hey Paul, it could be your theme (they’re probably already removing it and placing it somewhere else, so you need to adapt the code and remove it from the new position)
Thanks for the answer, but I don’t quite understand what you mean by “they are already removing it”. I’m using usual Storefront theme and it’s child theme. There are no other places in my child theme where such a removal occurs.
Can you explain a little bit better?
Thank you
Hey Paul! I tested this snippet with the Storefront theme, so it works and it still does. It must be something else – maybe another plugin?
This was a great deal on figuring out some things.
Just something that i came across when i used
. Can this loop create a big Database overload if it is used inside an if statement, that adds a weight table inside the single product page?
Great! No, there is no DB involvement here.
I’ve tried it on my site but it did nothing tho
Screenshot please?
It may be our theme (Shoptimizer for Commercegurus) but the code to move the upsells just duplicates it.
I had the same problem with one of your other similar snippets.
Hi Sean, Shoptimizer support is great, I’m sure they’ll help you with this
Looking for a code/shortcode to put upsells in a sidebar – would you know how to do that?
Hello Lauren, 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!
