I’ve been testing for over an hour but finally I found a way to make this work. When you are in “Edit Order” view under WordPress Dashboard > WooCommerce > Orders, there is a dropdown of “Order actions”: “Email invoice“, “Resend new order notification“, etc.
A major problem I’ve always had while troubleshooting or working on the WooCommerce thank you page was that I had to build that URL by hand in order to view it again (it follows the format https://example.com/checkout/order-received/123456/?key=wc_order_abcdefghijklmn). Also, I wanted to avoid placing additional test orders.
Well, from today, you can access the customer thank you page directly from the “Order actions” dropdown.
Enjoy!
PHP Snippet: Add “View Thank You Page” to “Order actions” @ Edit Single Order Admin Page
Note: remove the $order->has_status() check if you wish this to appear for ALL order statuses.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_actions', 'bbloomer_show_thank_you_page_order_admin_actions', 9999, 2 );
function bbloomer_show_thank_you_page_order_admin_actions( $actions, $order ) {

function bbloomer_redirect_thank_you_page_order_admin_actions( $order ) {

This doesn’t work anymore, is there any other way?
Works for me! Can you try again?
Hello there 🙂
Thank you for your snippet.
Unfortunately, Woo asks me to connect to see thank-you page for other clients’ orders…
Even with your latest fix :s
Kind regards,
Cedric
Works for me, logged in and logged out
Hello,
I added the snipet, the Display thank you page display on the select, but when I click on the arrow, I’m not redirected to the thank you page, the admin page of the order is just reloaded.
Even if you temporarily disable all plugins except Woo?
Hello, code works perfectly fine. The question if the customer buys something he will get the same page as from this code? The other thing is it possible to add to that PHP code that on your order it displays the billing and shipping address?
Thanks.
Yes, it’s the page that customers see after they place a successful order. It doesn’t display billing/shipping?
Hello. The code is not working. I get this error:
: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_billing_first_name() on bool
Woocommerce: Version 8.3.1
PHP: 7.4
Thank you
Hello Vassos, not sure my snippet uses the “get_billing_first_name” function?
Hi,
Didn’t want to edit my functions.php file because i’m not using a child theme. So tested with a php snippet plugin and it does work. Using Code Snippets by Code Snippets Pro. Tried WPcode and didn’t work for me.
Cool
Hi,
Just discovered this snippet, but it does not seem to be working on WooCommerce 8.1.1.
Would an update to work with v8.x be possible?
Thanks.
Hello Michael, thanks so much for your comment! I just retested this on the latest version of WooCommerce and it still works. Unfortunately this looks like custom troubleshooting work and I cannot help 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
Hey Rodolfo,
It seems like this snippet doesn’t work anymore for me on WC 7.8.2.
It’s pretty useful and it used to work perfectly tho, but I now got this message= “Please log in to your account to view this order. ”
Can anyone please kindly confirm ?
Thanks !
Good point. This now happens for non-guest orders since Woo 7.8 I believe – now it’s required the user is logged in before viewing their thank you page… so the admin can’t see the Thank You page of non guest-orders!
I’ve added a fix to the snippet now, see if it works?
Hi Rodolfo,
Yes, this was working for me, pre-7.8, but I’m still getting the ‘log in’ message. I’m using your fixed snippet. It seems these pages are now off limits to admins.
Thanks.
The latest snippet version works for me. Try clearing caches and see if the problem is there
Ace ! You fixed it, thanks a million 🙂
Yay!
Hey Rodolfo,
Just a quick heads up to tell you that *it seems like* the snippet isn’t working anymore on the current Woocommerce version.
As someone else pointed it out, Woo asks to connect to see thank-you page:
“Thank you. Your order has been received.
Please log in to your account to view this order.”
Such a shade ! Very handy to screenshot and help customers in their accounts.
See latest snippet version
Awesome! Thanks so much, works on WC 7.7.2
Yay!
I just tried this out on my site and it works in April 2023. Thanks!
Cool
I tried this code but its not working.
know why?
i got these error:
syntax error, unexpected ‘function’ (T_FUNCTION)
The syntax error should also tell you the position (line) and file where the error is. Can you share that please?
Beautiful. Shopify has this built in and I was doing it manually in woo. Keep up the good work.
Cool!
hi there
FYI This was working but now isn’t. It just isn’t there, in the box in the admin page at all.
We have a seasonal product and so I don’t know how long this hasn’t been working (few months max)
Woodmark Theme
Every other snippet I have is working as far as I am aware.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Amy
Still works for me. Is the order status within the “wc_get_is_paid_statuses” array?
The code works perfect, except for one thing. Currently the thank you page opens in the same window and so it makes me exit the backend. Is there a way to open it in a new tab?
Hello Nerea, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, may be 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!
Thank you very much! excellent.
Can you help me put a link similar to this one on the My Account page? With that the customer has access when they need it.
Hi Ricardo, 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!
Never thought about this functionality, but now I need to test and see it working 🙂
Thanks for the codes but thank you even more for the different approaches and way of thinking that you bring here
You’re welcome!
Hey Rodolfo !
This one is brilliant, thanks !
Although I already see a few case in which such a function can be useful, would you mind telling us more about why you implemented it so far ?
Cool! For example I use it while troubleshooting Thank you page errors, or checking if Thank you page customization is working
Hi Rodolfo,
Thank you for thinking of sharing this snippet. It works great but what happens if you use a custom Thank You Page that includes extra content before the order details? How can we display that content here?
Lyse
This only works with the default WooCommerce thank you page, sorry. Though, 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!
Very, very needed 🙂 Magic! Thank You!
Yay!
