Let’s say you want to help customers understand your shipping rates and benefits right on the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout pages, by adding a link to each shipping option (e.g. “View shipping FAQ“).
As you can see from the first and second screenshot below, if you enter any HTML within the WooCommerce shipping zone -> shipping method settings, this will be stripped out, and HTML tags such as hyperlinks won’t work.
So, how can we add a clickable text link to each shipping method, given that we can’t use the WooCommerce settings? Well, as usual, a quick PHP snippet can help us with that. Enjoy!
If we enter any HTML in the shipping method settings… …WooCommerce strips the HTML on the frontend, so it’s not possible to add hyperlinks for example. Let’s change that! With a simple PHP snippet, you can add any HTML at the beginning or end of the single shipping rate label, such as a hyperlink.
PHP Snippet: Add Text Hyperlink to Shipping Methods @ WooCommerce Cart & Checkout
/** * @snippet Add HTML to Shipping Rate Label @ WooCommerce Cart & Checkout * @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE * @author Rodolfo Melogli * @compatible WooCommerce 8 * @donate $9 https://businessbloomer.com/bloomer-armada/ */ add_filter( ‘woocommerce_cart_shipping_method_full_label’, ‘bbloomer_shipping_method_suffix’ ); function bbloomer_shipping_method_suffix( $label ) { return $label . ‘ (shipping FAQ)’; }
Where to add custom code?
You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files – if you need more guidance, please take a look at my guide “Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?” and my video tutorial “Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?”
Does this snippet (still) work?
Please let me know in the comments if everything went as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting.
