How Do I Use Hooks in WooCommerce?

Hooks are a powerful tool in WooCommerce that allow you to customize how your store works without having to edit core files. By using hooks, you can add or remove functionality, change the order in which things happen, and much more. In this article, we’ll give you an overview of what hooks are and how to use them in WooCommerce.

What are WooCommerce Hooks?

WooCommerce hooks are basically small pieces of code that can be used to change how WooCommerce works. They can be used to add or remove functionality, change the order in which things happen, and much more.

There are two types of hooks in WooCommerce:

• Actions: These hooks allow you to insert code at specific points in the WooCommerce codebase. For example, you could use an action hook to add a message to the order confirmation page.
• Filters: These hooks allows you to modify data before it is displayed on the screen. For example, you could use a filter hook to change the price of a product before it is displayed on the product page.

How to Use WooCommerce Hooks?

WooCommerce hooks can be used without any programming knowledge. However, if you want to make changes to your store, we recommend that you hire a developer or learn some basic programming skills.

To use a hook, you need to know two things:

• The name of the hook (e.g., “woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button”)
• The name of the function that you want to run when the hook is triggered (e., “my_custom_function”)

Once you know these two things, you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_custom_function() {
//code goes here
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', 'my_custom_function' );
