Adding Product Description to WooCommerce Invoices

Last updated on October 12, 2023

Product descriptions are the cornerstone of effective communication between sellers and buyers. They provide vital information about a product’s features, benefits, and usage, helping customers make informed decisions. The WebToffee’s WooCommerce PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, and Credit Notes plugin makes it easier to add product descriptions to WooCommerce invoice documents. Using custom code snippets, the plugin enables the inclusion of a product description in two ways:

  1. Beneath the product name
  2. In a dedicated column within the WooCommerce invoices.

Adding product description beneath the product name

To add the product description under the product name, add the custom code snippet below to the WordPress site. To do this, add the custom code snippet to the active child theme’s functions.php file or use a third-party plugin.

Adding product description in a separate column

A dedicated column for product descriptions in a WooCommerce invoice document enhances clarity and organization. Using the custom code snippet below, the plugin helps to add the product description in a separate column (named short description).

To add the product description in a separate column, add the custom code snippet below to the WordPress site.
