How Do I Create a WooCommerce Email Template?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 4:51 pm

There are a few things you need to do in order to create a WooCommerce email template. First, you need to create a new file in your child theme or in the /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/ directory.

The new file should be called email-order-details.php. You can start with a blank template or you can copy over the contents of the default WooCommerce template by opening up /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/email-order-details.php in a text editor.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with HTML or CSS, we recommend that you hire a professional to help you create a WooCommerce email template. There are many tutorials available online, but they may not be suitable for your specific needs.

Next, you need to add some code to your new template file. The code will pull in the order details from WooCommerce and display them in a table.

You can find this code in the default WooCommerce template file mentioned above. Simply copy and paste it into your new template file.

Now, you need to style your table using HTML and CSS. The easiest way to do this is to use the <table> tag and add some basic CSS styling. For example, you could add the following CSS to your stylesheet:

table {
border: 1px solid black;
}td {
border: 1px solid black;
}

This will add a border around each table cell and make it easy to see the order details. Of course, you can style your table however you like using CSS.

Conclusion: In order to create a WooCommerce email template, you need to create a new file in your child theme or in the /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/ directory, add some code to pull in the order details from WooCommerce, and style your table using HTML and CSS.
