Customizing Address Formats Using Customizer

The From address, shipping address, billing address, and return address in document types now use single placeholders instead of separate placeholders for each element. So to reorder or customize elements within an address type, store owners will need to replace the existing placeholders with a custom code snippet. Below are the steps on how store owners can achieve this with the help of WebToffee’s Customizer for WooCommerce PDF Invoices plugin.

1. Navigate to Invoice/Packing > Preferred document type(eg. Invoice) > Customize.
2. In the active template, scroll down and click on the address type that you wish to customize.
3. In the Editor pane on the right side, click on the HTML icon.
4. From the HTML editor that opens up, replace the current placeholder with its respective custom code snippet.
5. Click on Apply Changes.
6. Finally, click on Save Template.

Below are the detailed steps on how to customize address formats in the customizer. Let’s take the invoice document as an example to demonstrate the steps.

1. Navigate to Invoice/Packing > Invoice > Customize.
2. In the active invoice template, scroll down and click on the address type that you wish to customize. The Editor pane on the right side will display the details of the address type.

3. Click on the HTML icon located at the top right corner of the editor pane. The HTML block editor will open up.

4. In the HTML block editor, replace the current placeholder with the respective custom code snippet.

Documents show the From address using the [wfte_from_address] placeholder. The From address follows the WooCommerce from address format. So to customize/reorder elements replace the placeholder [wfte_from_address] with the below code snippet. Make necessary alterations to the code snippet before replacing the placeholder.

The placeholders in the code snippet represent the following values/elements in the from address :

[wfte_from_address_address_line1] – From address line 1
[wfte_from_address_address_line2] – From address line 2

[wfte_from_address_contact_number] – From address contact number
[wfte_from_address_vat] – From address VAT number

To customize/reorder elements in the billing address, replace the placeholder [wfte_billing_address] with the below code snippet. Alter the code snippet according to your requirements before adding it.

The placeholders in the code snippet represent the following values/elements in the billing address:

[wfte_billing_address_name] – Billing address name
[wfte_billing_address_company] – Billing address company name
[wfte_billing_address_address_1] – Billing address line 1
[wfte_billing_address_address_2] – Billing address line 2
