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.
Adding product description – WooCommerce invoices and packing slips
1. Beneath the product name – Only for WooCommerce invoices
To display product descriptions below the product name, add the custom code snippet to your active child theme’s functions.php file. To learn more about adding custom code snippets using a third-party plugin, check out the following article: Adding Custom Codes with a Third-Party Plugin.

Est-il possible d’ajouter le détails du produit ? J’utilise un plugin “Cost calculator” avec des réglages variables pour le produit, mais impossible de trouver la solution pour que le détail s’affiche sur la facture, une issue ?

I added the “Description below product” in the functions.php file of my Child Theme and it crashed the website.
-> There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions
Any hints why?
Can we have something SIMPLE like a tag to add to the configuration???

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for reaching out. You can enable the “Enable variation data” option located at the Invoice general settings page to display the variation data.
