Today I am excited to share some improvements that have just been released for our CSV Export and XML Export plugins! The big ticket item for these releases is a refactor of the way that exports are stored. You won’t see any visible differences in these latest changes, but if you look under the hood, you’ll see that these plugins just got a major upgrade. 🍻 Disclaimer This post may get a bit technical, so go…
Time to start with our first Ask SkyVerge question of 2018 🙂 This question is from Houdayer: Is there a way to add shipping information in the table at MyAccount > Orders? Sure thing! We’re looking at the “Orders” menu in the my account page currently, which shows order number, date, status, total, and actions by default: The woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_columns filter lets us add or adjust the columns included in this list, so we can add…
Filtering your WooCommerce orders gives you a way to find the transaction records you’re looking for faster. When we’re working on threads in the help desk, this is useful to us as developers as well so we can find the orders relevant to the issue quickly. One of the most helpful filters for debugging is to filter orders by payment method used, as we’ll use this for payment gateway support, or when seeing if an…
We’ve got an Ask SkyVerge question today from Jonathan that’s a neat usage of Social Login hooks: Is there a way to only allow social login for people who have an account already? Meaning we don’t want to create an account for them automatically since they should purchase a memberships to log in. Sure thing — there are hooks that will let us hook into Social Login just before it creates an account to stop…
A popular feature with WooCommerce Memberships is the ability to import and export members. While the default export includes membership data, you may want to include other data here as well. Modifying the export is possible, as there are hooks available to change the CSV output; we’ll go over a couple straight-forward examples in this guide. Please note this guide requires beginner PHP development and WordPress skills. Filter WooCommerce Memberships Export Column Headers The first…
When viewing the “Orders” list in WooCommerce, you’ll see a set of columns that will show you details about orders in your store. While you can remove columns easily using the “Screen options” tab, adding columns requires some custom code to determine what the column data should be. Let’s take a look at adding some custom WooCommerce Orders list columns today. In this case, we’ll add a “Profit” column to show the order’s profit when…
Since version 3.0 was released for our WooCommerce PDF Product Vouchers plugin, the addition of custom voucher fields has been made far easier for developers working with the plugin. There a couple of simple hooks available to let you add some basic voucher data, and then the plugin does the heavy lifting to add settings for these in the voucher template customizer, printing them on the voucher, and on product pages when a voucher is…
We got an interesting question this week from a developer: Is there a way to show Membership Plan Names in a “content restricted” notice instead of products to buy? In this case, the site wasn’t selling Memberships, but rather taking applications for them, so the plan names made more sense. This question can show us a couple interesting concepts today to look at: (1) creating a helper method to get plans that restrict a product,…
Chances are if you’ve read our series on adding plugin settings to WooCommerce, you’re using an existing WooCommerce settings page or new settings tab to add any required configuration options for your plugin. If you have a more complex plugin who’s data will be accessed very often (such as Memberships or Subscriptions), you may even be adding a new submenu with a custom settings or usage page for your plugin. However, we’ve run into any…
I ran into an interesting problem recently for a consulting project where the client needed to know what orders have had refunds processed in WooCommerce. While helping out with this problem, I found that there isn’t a great way to get all refunded orders at once, only to get refunds for a particular order. There are a couple ways you could approach this issue. Let’s start with the couple methods they’d tried first: Get all…
