The WebToffee’s WooCommerce PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, and Credit Notes plugin allows store owners to add a print and download invoice button on the customer’s My Account page. The default labels on the print and download invoice buttons are ‘Print Invoice’ and ‘Download Invoice’, respectively. There can be instances where store owners need to customize it to suit their business needs. Well, that’s possible with the help of a custom code snippet. We’ll explore more in this article.
Customizing the print and download button labels
Here are the brief steps for the same:
- Enable the print invoice button on the My Account page.
- Add the custom code snippet to the WordPress site by making the necessary alterations.
Step 1 – Enable the print invoice button
To enable the print invoice button on the My Account page, follow the below steps:

Step 2 – Add the custom code snippet by making the alterations
Here is a breakdown of step 2:
- Make necessary alterations to the code snippet given below. With the given code snippet, store owners can customize the print and download button labels that appear on the customer’s My Account orders listing, order details page, and order email.
In the above code snippet, the text Print Invoice order details is set as the label for the print invoice button on the order details page. Similarly, Download Invoice order details is set as the label for the download invoice button on the order details page, and so on. Replace these with the desired labels. Repeat the steps for other buttons as well.
