Very similar to the “Limit shipping to one State only“, this time we want to limit the Billing to only one state. An Australian client asked me to limit their sales to the South Australia state, but the same can be applied to US, UK and all the other countries that have states.

A client had several shipping rates on the cart page automatically generated by FedEx, USPS, UPS and similar plugins via their API. Problem was, they wanted to sort them by price as opposed to grouping them by provider.
Thankfully, with a simple “uasort” PHP function, it’s possible to take the shipping rates array and sort it by amount before returning it back to the screen. If you don’t know PHP, simply copy/paste!

Whether you want to disable login / registration on the WooCommerce Checkout page or move the login form from the top to the bottom of it, this is a simple thing to do. You can do it via a PHP snippet or WooCommerce settings. Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove or Move User Login / Registration at Checkout
This is a simple PGP snippet that I successfully used on a bunch of websites in order to set the default Billing country or state. This is a great way to save the user some time during checkout (and therefore increase your conversion rate) in case you almost exclusively sell to customers located in a given country or state. Nothing else to say, just… enjoy! Continue reading WooCommerce: Set Default Billing State / Country @ Checkout
On a recent job, a client asked me to display the logged-in username in WooCommerce. It sounded like a simple task, but it actually opened the door to some interesting use cases. He specifically wanted the username to appear on the Checkout page—perhaps to personalize the experience—and also within the Order confirmation email sent to the customer.
This kind of functionality can be useful in many scenarios: showing a personalized greeting, tagging orders with usernames for internal reference, or even building custom conditional logic based on the current user.
Luckily, WooCommerce gives us access to the current user object pretty easily. Whether you’re editing templates or using hooks, retrieving the logged-in username is a quick win that can help enhance the user experience and add a touch of personalization to the purchase flow.
Here’s a simple code snippet you can use to get the logged-in username in WooCommerce.

When you apply a coupon code programmatically, for example, you may want to hide the coupon code on the cart and checkout page so that the code stays private and cannot be shared with others.
This solution will basically remove the coupon code (e.g. “VWXYZ”) from the “Coupon: VWXYZ” string that appears in the Cart and Checkout totals. Enjoy!

A client needed to add her SSL Logo Seal to the checkout page. The problem is that the code she was given had also a JS part, together with a bunch of HTML.
Unfortunately you can’t just copy and paste JavaScript in the checkout page… you need a workaround!
In this article, we will learn about wp_footer, a handy WordPress hook to print anything inside the footer, a bit of conditional logic to target the WooCommerce checkout page only (and therefore excluding the Thank You Page and Order Pay Page), and how to print HTML inside a PHP function. Enjoy!

When you have special shipping requirements, maybe you want checkout users to see the shipping form section visible on load.

How can you redirect customers to a beautifully looking, custom, thank you page?
Thankfully you can add some PHP code to your functions.php or install a simple plugin and define a redirect to a custom WordPress page (as opposed to the default order-received endpoint). This is a great way for you to add specific up-sells, social media share and other information that could help you convert additional sales.
Continue reading WooCommerce: Redirect to Custom Thank you Page
WooCommerce functions add the shipping method label on the Cart totals, on the left hand side of the price. This ruins the price amounts alignment (subtotal, shipping, taxes, total) and many clients have asked me to remove it completely. Also, it could be that sometimes you don’t want to show the name of a shipping rate on the front-end. So, here’s how you do it!
Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove Shipping Labels @ Cart (e.g. “Flat Rate”)
The cart totals table cell title “Shipping” or “Shipping and Handling” appears also on the checkout page. So, what if you wish to “translate” this string from English to “better” English or completely customize it? Thankfully there’s a quick 4 lines snippet for you. Enjoy!
Continue reading WooCommerce: Translate “Shipping” @ Cart Totals
In some countries there is no Postcode/ZIP (such as Ireland!). How do we make the Postcode/ZIP field not required, or how do we completely remove it? The answer is very simple. Continue reading WooCommerce: Disable PostCode/Zip Field on the Checkout Page
Interesting issue. A client found out that if you push “enter” on your keyboard while on the WooCommerce Checkout page, the form will be automatically submitted – as long as all required fields have been filled out.
Ouch! What if the customer wanted to use a different shipping method? What if “enter” is pushed by mistake? So, here’s how to disable it. Enjoy!

If you wish to print the payment gateway name on order emails (in its own paragraph below the order items table), here’s a handy snippet for you.
All you need to use is the “woocommerce_email_after_order_table” hook to pick the correct position, and then the “get_payment_method_title” WooCommerce function to return the payment gateway name. Enjoy!
