How to Add Content to the WooCommerce Thank You Page

To add content to the WooCommerce Thank You page, hook a function into woocommerce_thankyou and echo your HTML — WooCommerce automatically passes the order ID into this hook, so you can also show order-specific details rather than just static text.

Why Customize the Thank You Page

• It’s the highest-attention page in the entire checkout flow — customers are actively reading right after purchase
• A great place for a “come back soon” coupon to encourage repeat purchases
• Useful for cross-sells, referral program prompts, or delivery expectation notes

Step 1: Add Static Content to the Thank You Page

/** Show a return-customer offer on the order-received page */
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'print_repeat_purchase_offer' );

function print_repeat_purchase_offer( $order_id ) {
    echo '<p>Thanks for shopping with us! Use code <strong>WELCOME10</strong> for 10% off your next order.</p>';
}

Showing Order-Specific Content Instead

Since $order_id is available, you can load the full order object and reference actual purchase details rather than generic text:

function print_order_recap( $order_id ) {

    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

    if ( ! $order ) {
        return;
    }

    echo '<h3>Your Order Summary</h3><ul>';

    foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item ) {
        echo '<li>' . esc_html( $item->get_name() ) . ' × ' . esc_html( $item->get_quantity() ) . '</li>';
    }

    echo '</ul>';
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'print_order_recap' );

Troubleshooting

Adding This Directly in a Page Builder Causes a 500 Error

Pasting raw PHP into a page builder’s HTML/shortcode widget on the actual Thank You page is not the right approach — it can trigger a fatal server error since most page builders don’t execute arbitrary PHP that way. Always add this kind of snippet to your child theme’s functions.php (or a snippets plugin) instead, hooked to woocommerce_thankyou.

Content Doesn’t Appear

Confirm you’re testing on an actual completed checkout, not a cached or bookmarked old order-received URL — some caching setups can serve a stale version of this page.

Conclusion

A single hook is all it takes to add content to the WooCommerce Thank You page, whether that’s a simple coupon message or a fully dynamic order recap. Just make sure the code lives in functions.php rather than a page builder widget to avoid server errors.
