Adding Product Descriptions to WooCommerce Invoices and Packing Slips

Last updated on January 27, 2025

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. WebToffee’s WooCommerce PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, and Credit Notes plugin allows adding product descriptions to WooCommerce invoices and packing slips. With the help of custom code snippets, store owners can display product descriptions under the product name and in a separate column.
