Shortcodes are a great way to add custom functionality to your WooCommerce store without having to write any code. They allow you to insert custom code into the WordPress admin panel, which can then be used in your WooCommerce templates and pages to display specific information or perform specific actions.
There are a few different ways to use shortcodes in WooCommerce. You can use them to insert custom content into your product pages, product descriptions, product reviews, and checkout processes.
You can also use them to create custom WooCommerce orders, add shipping information, and more.
To use shortcodes in WooCommerce, first create a folder in your WordPress admin panel called “Shortcodes.” Within this folder, create a file called “Shortcode.php” and add the following code to it:
<?php
/**
* Shortcode file for WooCommerce
shortcode_atts()
return array(
'name' => 'WooCommerce Shortcode',
'type' => 'textarea',
'rows' => 6,
'cols' => 80,
'description' => __(
'Use this shortcode to insert custom content into your WooCommerce store pages and templates.'
'default_value' => ''Next, add a line of code to your WooCommerce template file (usually located at wp-content/themes/your-theme/ WooCommerce/WooCommerce/templates/products.php) to include the shortcode. For example, you could use the following code to insert a product description into the content area of a product page:
echo shortcode_atts( 'product-description', 'Product Description');You can also use shortcodes to insert custom content into product reviews. To do this, add the following code to your product review form template (usually located at wp-content/themes/your-theme/ WooCommerce/WooCommerce/templates/reviews/single.php):
echo shortcode_atts( 'review-text', 'Your Review');1. Read the documentation for the shortcode you’re using. This will help you understand what the shortcode does and how to use it.
2. Make sure you’re using the correct shortcode. Some WooCommerce shortcodes have similar names, but do different things.
3. Test your shortcodes before you publish your page. This will help you make sure they’re working properly and that your page looks the way you want it to.
You can also use shortcodes to create custom WooCommerce orders. To do this, add the following code to your WooCommerce checkout process template (usually located at wp-content/themes/your-theme/ WooCommerce/WooCommerce/templates/checkout/default.php):
echo shortcode_atts( 'order-items', array(
'item-name' => 'Your Order Item',
'item-amount' => 'Your Order Amount'
));Finally, you can use shortcodes to add shipping information to your WooCommerce orders.php:
echo shortcode_atts( 'shipping-info', array(
'shipment-name' => 'Your Shipment Name',
'shipment-address' => 'Your Shipment Address',
'shipment-city' => 'Your Shipment City',
'shipment-state' => 'Your Shipment State',
'shipment-zip' => 'Your Shipment Zip Code'You can also use shortcodes to create custom WooCommerce orders by entering the order details into a custom form. To do this, create a new file called “shortcodes/order-form.php” and add the following code to it:
require_once('shortcodes/shortcode.php');
