We’ve gotten this question a few times, most recently from Jon: Can I add a lock icon before restricted posts? I already use FontAwesome, but I’m not sure how to add / remove the lock depending on whether the customer has access. Definitely do-able 🙂 As Jon has noted though, be sure that FontAwesome is already loaded on your site so the icon can be shown. To add the icon, Keep Reading…
WooCommerce PDF Product Vouchers – Voucher Custom Fields
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 Keep Reading…
Moving WooCommerce Related Items to a Product Tab
Back in action this week with some tutorials scheduled! First up, we have an Ask SkyVerge question today from Rebecca: You’ve got a great article on how to move product upsells to a widget. But what about moving them to a tab? I’d love your ideas on how to make the tab disappear if there are no upsells. Definitely possible! By default, the upsells are shown on the product page Keep Reading…
WooCommerce Memberships: Add “View Subscription” Action to My Memberships
Here’s a quick question we’d gotten in a support thread: How can I add a link to “Cancel” a membership with it’s subscription to the “My Memberships” table? Unfortunately, adding a link to cancel both a membership + it’s associated subscription isn’t really straight-forward — this is why the “cancel” action is removed in the first place when a memberships is tied to a subscription. This way, cancelling the billing Keep Reading…
Automatically Link WooCommerce Orders at Customer Registration
We got an question from Rob in our comments section on our post about adding registration prompts to WooCommerce emails that makes for an interesting tutorial. To summary Rob’s question: How would you reconcile a previous order when a guest user registers? In other words: say I buy from your store and use my email (test@test.com) at checkout. I then get this lovely email with a registration prompt, so I Keep Reading…
Disable Repeat WooCommerce Purchases for a Product Category
We previously wrote up a tutorial on preventing repeat purchases for a particular WooCommerce product, or for any product in your store. However, based on the comments there, some merchants wanted to disable repeat WooCommerce purchases for a set of products, but not all products. In order to do so, you could use a product category to check whether repeat purchases should be allowed or not. This would let you Keep Reading…
Hide WooCommerce Product Reviews Until Purchase
We’ve got an Ask SkyVerge questions queued up for today from Sam: Is there a way to display the WooCommerce review tab only for customers who bought the product? That way users who never bought the product will not be able to see the review tab. Product reviews are one of the most important indicators of social proof for an eCommerce site, and they’re an excellent tool to help customers Keep Reading…
Prevent WooCommerce Checkout for Add-on Products
Today’s Ask SkyVerge question comes from Ian (I’m paraphrasing it a bit though): Is there a way to prevent purchase if a customer only has certain products in the cart? I sell ink cartridges as add-ons for printers, but these should not be purchased alone. I tried using a grouped product, but a customer could only order cartridges or remove the main product from the cart. Can checkout require another Keep Reading…
Change the default WooCommerce External Product Button
This is an Ask SkyVerge question from Manuel: How can I change the add to cart button for external products? I need to use something besides “Buy product” for my external products. The good news here is that there’s already a setting for your WooCommerce external products to change the button text. When you edit the product, you can enter the button text while creating it, right after you enter Keep Reading…
Creating WooCommerce Memberships Menus for Members
One of our popular Woo Ideas for Memberships is the ability to create a menu for members. We’d examined this for version one of the plugin, but we weren’t crazy about included a lot of the commonly used menu restrictions in the core plugin, so it wasn’t included at launch. We also know that a lot of memberships sites have role-based menu restrictions in place to begin with, such as Keep Reading…
