WooCommerce: Show Product Image @ Emails

By default, WooCommerce does not display the product thumbnail inside the order emails.

With this little trick, however, you can revert this default behavior and indeed show images beside their product name inside the email order item table. Enjoy!

With the snippet below, it is possible to display product thumbnails inside WooCommerce order emails. Nice, isn’t it?

function bbloomer_order_with_product_images( $args ) {
	$args['show_image'] = true;
	return $args;
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my guide "Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?" and my video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?

Please let me know in the comments if everything went as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting.

    How could I replace the default Woocommerce placeholder when a variation does not have an image, and replace it by its Variable product image?

    BIG thank you, Rodolfo!

    Your “Show Product Image” snippet is a good improvement on the standard Woo emails and adds to the professional look of the Woo emails. Nice!

    Can I please suggest an improvement?

    The image thumbnail added to the email is 1 cm square and there is 0 padding between the image thumbnail and the text description of the item purchased.

    My actual Thumbnail size is 150 x 215 as set in Admin Dashboard >> Settings >> Media.

    I don’t know if this is happening to just me or not. Do you know if the email thumbnail size and padding can be improved?

    Thank You, and Happy New Year

      Thank you Julie! You can also set the ‘image_size’ parameter, and give it an array of dimensions e.g.:

      $args['image_size'] = array( 150, 215 );

      As for the padding, please refer to https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-add-css-woocommerce-emails/
