In today’s highly competitive e-commerce landscape, providing a seamless shopping experience for customers is vital for success. WooCommerce, a popular WordPress plugin, offers a plethora of customization options to tailor your online store to your specific needs.
One such customization involves changing the Return to Shop link, which appears after a customer completes a purchase and wants to navigate back to the store. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of customizing the Return to Shop link in WooCommerce, enabling you to add a personal touch to your online store and enhance customer satisfaction.
Understanding the Default Return to Shop Link
By default, WooCommerce generates a Return to Shop link that redirects customers to the main shop page. However, many store owners prefer to customize this link to redirect customers to a specific page or add additional functionality.
Modifying the Return to Shop Link
To change the Return to Shop link, you’ll need to utilize a little bit of code. Follow these steps to make the necessary modifications:
Save the changes by clicking on the Update File button.
Access your WordPress dashboard and navigate to “Appearance” -> “Theme Editor.”
In the Theme Editor, locate the “functions.php” file on the right-hand side.
Click on the “functions.php” file to open it for editing.
Insert the following code snippet at the end of the file:
function custom_return_to_shop_link() { return home_url('/custom-page'); // Replace "/custom-page" with the desired URL or page slug }add_filter('woocommerce_return_to_shop_redirect', 'custom_return_to_shop_link');5. Save the changes by clicking on the Update File button.
Testing the Customized Link
To ensure that the modified Return to Shop link is working as intended, follow these steps
- Open your online store in a new incognito window or clear your browser cache.
- Add a product to the cart and proceed to the checkout.
- Complete the purchase, and upon reaching the order confirmation page, observe the new Return to Shop link.
- Click on the link and verify that it redirects to the desired page.
