How Do I Customize My WooCommerce Email Template?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:33 pm

When it comes to setting up an online store, WooCommerce is one of the most popular choices for WordPress users. While WooCommerce is a great platform to use out of the box, there are still some areas where you may want to customize it to better suit your needs. One area where you might want to make some changes is in the email templates that are sent out automatically by WooCommerce.

Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to customize WooCommerce email templates. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it.

When you install WooCommerce, it automatically creates a number of default email templates. These templates are used for various purposes, such as when an order is placed, an order is canceled, or a customer registers for an account on your site.

While these default email templates are fine for most purposes, you may want to customize them to better match your brand or add additional information. For example, you might want to add your company logo to the emails or include links to helpful resources.

PRO TIP: If you are not a developer, or comfortable with code, then do not attempt to customize your WooCommerce email template. You can very easily break your WooCommerce emails, and cause serious problems with your online store.

The process of customizing WooCommerce email templates is fairly straightforward. First, you’ll need to create a new file in your theme’s directory called WooCommerce-mails.php.

Next, you’ll need to edit this file and add your desired changes. Finally, you’ll need to upload the file to your server and activate it.

Once you’ve done that, WooCommerce will start using your custom email template instead of the default one. Keep in mind that if you make changes to your theme files, they will be lost if you update your theme. That’s why it’s important to create a child theme before making any changes like this.

If you’re not comfortable editing PHP files or don’t know how to create a child theme, then we recommend hiring a developer to help you with this task. However, if you’re feeling confident and want to give it a try yourself, then let’s get started!
