How Does WooCommerce Show Product Weight?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 11:25 am

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that allows businesses to sell products online. One of the features that WooCommerce offers is the ability to show product weight. This can be useful for businesses that sell products that are shipped by weight, or for businesses that want to provide customers with information about the weight of their products.

There are two ways that WooCommerce can show product weight. The first way is to use the default WooCommerce settings.

This will show the product weight in the product description. The second way is to use a plugin or custom code to display the product weight in the product page.

The default WooCommerce settings will show the product weight as “grams” or “pounds”. If you want to display the product weight in a different unit of measurement, you can use a plugin or custom code. For example, if you want to display the product weight in ounces, you can use this code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_weight_unit', 'change_weight_unit' );
function change_weight_unit() {
return 'oz';}

If you want to display the product weight in kilograms, you can use this code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_weight_unit', 'change_weight_unit' );
function change_weight_unit() {
return 'kg';}

You can also use a plugin to change the unit of measurement. There are many plugins available that will allow you to change the unit of measurement for WooCommerce products. Some of these plugins are free, and some are paid.

If you want to display the product weight in the product page, you can use a plugin or custom code. For example, if you want to display the product weight below the price, you can use this code:

function myprefix_display_product_weight() { global $product; 
$weight = $product->get_weight(); 
if ( $weight > 0 ) { echo '

Weight: <strong>' . $weight . '</strong>'; } } add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'myprefix_display_product Product Weight', 31 ); ?> }}}

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products online, it is important to accurately display the weight of each product. Otherwise, your customers may end up paying more for shipping than they need to.

To avoid any confusion, we recommend that you clearly label the weight of each product on your website, and include it in the product description. You should also make sure that your shipping rates are accurate and up-to-date.
