WooCommerce: How to add a custom shipping message to your woocommerce checkout page

by | May 24, 2018 | WooCommerce Tips

Client Request: 

One of our clients wanted to add a message to the checkout page with further details about the shipping address. Specifically they wanted to create a notice to their customers that they can’t ship to P.O. boxes.

Solution:

The following code snippet can be added to your functions.php file. We highly suggest that you create a child theme and make your edits within the child theme functions.php. The text will be added below the “Ship to a different address?” checkbox, and will display as part of the shipping address section that displays after your customer checks the box.

 

Snipet Code:

 

/** <br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> * @snippet Add Note below Shipping Address section on Checkout Page - WooCommerce<br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> */<br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_shipping_form', 'heartell_nopo_shipping' );<br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->function heartell_nopo_shipping() {<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->echo '<p class="allow">Unfortunately we can not ship to P.O. Boxes. Please provide a valid street address.</p>';<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->}
