Custom Checkout Fields in Emails and Order Pages: Templates and Placeholders

Custom checkout fields in emails and order pages #

Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce can add every submitted field to your WooCommerce order emails and to the customer-facing order pages, and it lets you control the surrounding markup with template textareas and placeholders. This reference lists each option, its default, and the placeholders you can use.

General options for custom checkout fields in emails

Where to find these options #

Go to WPFactory > Custom Checkout Fields (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Custom Checkout Fields) and open the General section. The controls sit under General Options.

Email options #

Label Option ID Default
Add all fields to admin emails alg_wc_ccf_email_all_to_admin Yes
Add all fields to customers emails alg_wc_ccf_email_all_to_customer Yes
Before the fields alg_wc_ccf_emails_template_before Empty
Each field alg_wc_ccf_emails_template_field <p><strong>%label%:</strong> %value%</p>
After the fields alg_wc_ccf_emails_template_after Empty

Order Received and View Order options #

These cover the “Order Received” (Thank You) page and the “View Order” page in the customer account.

Label Option ID Default
Add all fields to “Order Received” and “View Order” pages alg_wc_ccf_add_to_order_received Yes
Before the fields alg_wc_ccf_order_received_template_before Empty
Each field alg_wc_ccf_order_received_template_field <p><strong>%label%:</strong> %value%</p>
After the fields alg_wc_ccf_order_received_template_after Empty

Placeholders #

The Each field templates run once per field, with two placeholders:

Placeholder Replaced with
%label% The field label.
%value% The submitted value. Multiselect values are joined with commas.

The Before the fields and After the fields templates print once, wrapping the whole block, so they are the place for an opening heading or a closing tag.

Duplicate field labels #

If a field uses the Duplicate option to repeat per product, the label of each copy is built from a template in the plugin’s Advanced Options:

Label Option ID Default
For each product in cart alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_label_template_each_product %product_title%
For each product item in cart alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_label_template_each_product_item %product_title% (%item_nr%)
Glue alg_wc_ccf_duplicate_label_glue :

The Glue joins the base label and the per-product suffix, so a “Gift message” field for the product “Candle” reads “Gift message: Candle”.

Example #

To render each field as a table row in emails, set Before the fields to <table>, Each field to <tr><td>%label%</td><td>%value%</td></tr>, and After the fields to </table>.
