There is lots of proof about the fact that by offering free shipping to your customers you can improve your conversion rate. Therefore, it would be nice to let your customers clearly know about it. So, in this post I will show you how to add free shipping notifications to your Woocommerce single product pages and cart pages.
So, how do you add free shipping notification to WooCommerce pages? In order to accomplish that you need a Code Snippets plugin or a WordPress child theme where you can add a small bit of a code provided below.
Also, if you are using the awesome Kadence theme, you will learn how to add free shipping notification to the Kadence side cart. The best part is that the amount is dynamic and will change every time you add new product to the cart. And if the amount (50USD for example) is reached, then the message will be hidden.
How to Add Free Shipping Notifications to Woocommerce Single Product Page and Cart Pages?
First thing first. In this tutorial I assume that you already have a Code Snippets plugin installed or you know how to modify the functions.php file. Therefore, I will skip this part.
Adding the free notification to Single Product Page
In my example I am using the free Code Snippets plugin which allows me to run PHP code snippets on my site without the need to modify functions.php
Now, open up the Code Snippets plugin and click Add new. Next, give your snippet a title (for example, Single Product page shipping)
If this is done, add this code to the code box
// Woocommerce - Single product page notification
add_action( 'woocommerce_share', 'single_product_page_notice' );
function single_product_page_notice() {
$min_amount = 50; //This is the amount of your free shipping threshold. Change according to your free shipping settings
$current = WC()->cart->subtotal;
if ( $current < $min_amount ) {
$added_text = '<div class="woocommerce-message">Buy ' . wc_price( $min_amount - $current ) . ' worth products more to get free shipping<br/>'; // This is the message shown on the single product page
$return_to = wc_get_page_permalink( 'shop' );
$notice = sprintf( '%s<a href="%s">%s</a>', $added_text, esc_url( $return_to ), 'Continue shopping</div>' ); // This is the text shown below the notification. Link redirects to the shop page
echo $notice;
}
}Save the snippet and preview your single product page. Add product to your cart and you should see something like this.
How to add a free shipping notification to the Woocommerce cart page?
If you don’t want to add the notification on the single product page and need to use it on the cart page, then all you need to do is to modify the code shown above. Instead, use this code to create a snippet.
// Woocommerce - Cart page notification
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart_table', 'cart_page_notice' );
function cart_page_notice() {
$min_amount = 50; //This is the amount of your free shipping threshold. Change according to your free shipping settings
$current = WC()->cart->subtotal;
if ( $current < $min_amount ) {
$added_text = '<div class="woocommerce-message">Buy ' . wc_price( $min_amount - $current ) . ' worth products more to get free shipping<br/>'; // This is the message shown on the cart page
$return_to = wc_get_page_permalink( 'shop' );
$notice = sprintf( '%s<a href="%s">%s</a>', $added_text, esc_url( $return_to ), 'Continue shopping</div>' ); // This is the text shown below the notification. Link redirects to the shop page
echo $notice;
}
}If you save and activate your snippet, add at least one product to cart then you should see something like this.
NB! If there is more than 50USD worth of products in the cart then the notification is not shown? Why, you may ask? It is because I have set my free shipping threshold to 50USD. See the explanation in the code.
How to add a free shipping notification to the Kadence theme side cart?
I really like the Kadence theme. Both free and Pro version. If you are like me and using the Kadence theme and you would like to place this free shipping notification below the side cart content, then use this code.
// Woocommerce - Kadence theme side cart notification
add_action( 'kadence-after-side-cart', 'kadence_notice' );
function kadence_notice() {
$min_amount = 50; //This is the amount of your free shipping threshold. Change according to your free shipping settings
$current = WC()->cart->subtotal;
if ( $current < $min_amount ) {
$added_text = '<div class="woocommerce-message">Buy ' . wc_price( $min_amount - $current ) . ' worth products more to get free shipping<br/>'; // This is the message shown below the Kadence theme side cart content
$return_to = wc_get_page_permalink( 'shop' );
$notice = sprintf( '%s<a href="%s">%s</a>', $added_text, esc_url( $return_to ), 'Continue shopping</div>' ); // This is the text shown below the notification. Link redirects to the shop page
echo $notice;
}
}Save and activate and preview. If everything is OK then you should see something like this.
PRO TIP: How to Add Free Notification to the three places with one code snippet?
Above I explained how to add this notification to the one place at a time but maybe you wish to add it in three places. If so, then use this code here below.
// Woocommerce - Single product page notification
add_action( 'woocommerce_share', 'free_shipping_notification' );
// Woocommerce - cart page notification
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart_table', 'free_shipping_notification' );
// Kadence - side cart notificatin
add_action( 'kadence-after-side-cart', 'free_shipping_notification' );
function free_shipping_notification() {
$min_amount = 50; //This is the amount of your free shipping threshold. Change according to your free shipping settings
$current = WC()->cart->subtotal;
if ( $current < $min_amount ) {
$added_text = '<div class="woocommerce-message">Buy ' . wc_price( $min_amount - $current ) . ' worth products more to get free shipping<br/>'; // This is the free shipping notification message
$return_to = wc_get_page_permalink( 'shop' );
$notice = sprintf( '%s<a href="%s">%s</a>', $added_text, esc_url( $return_to ), 'Continue shopping</div>' ); // This is the text shown below the notification. Link redirects to the shop page
echo $notice;
}
