Merging Code Snippets in WooCommerce: A Simple Guide to Combining PHP and JavaScript

In the world of web development, it's not uncommon to find yourself with multiple code snippets that you want to merge into a single functionality. This is particularly true in eCommerce platforms like WooCommerce, where you might need to add custom messages and elements to enhance the user experience during checkout. In this guide, we’re going to help you merge two separate code snippets effectively.

The Problem

You might have encountered a scenario where you have two pieces of code that you want to implement on your WooCommerce checkout page. Here’s a brief overview of what you have:

First Code Snippet (Nr 1): This PHP code adds a custom message under the purchase button indicating the user's agreement to terms of service and privacy policy.

Second Code Snippet (Nr 2): This JavaScript (with embedded HTML) is responsible for displaying additional information regarding SSL encryption and a money-back guarantee, which you want to show above the message added by the first snippet.

Your goal is to combine these two snippets into a single unified function that displays both the new information and the message in the desired order during the checkout process.

The Solution: Merging the Two Code Snippets

To start with, combining these snippets is all about echoing out the HTML from the second snippet within the same function where you’re outputting the message from the first snippet. Here is how you can do it:

Step 1: Combining the Code

You will want to place the JavaScript and HTML of snippet Nr 2 inside the add_after_checkout_button function, structured correctly to ensure it executes as expected. Here’s the completed combined snippet:

Step 2: Explanation of the Code

Add Action Hook: The add_action function tells WordPress to execute your custom function whenever it reaches the woocommerce_review_order_after_submit hook. This is where you want your custom content to appear in the checkout flow.

The Function add_after_checkout_button:

Inside this function, you first output the <script> tag that loads the FontAwesome icons.

Then, you create two columns containing important information with respective icons to enhance the visual representation.

Finally, you append the message that includes links to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Important Notes

Ensure that the FontAwesome script is correctly loaded to receive the icons styled properly.

Always validate the functionality by testing the checkout process after adding your custom code to make sure everything displays correctly without any errors.

Conclusion

Merging code snippets may seem daunting at first, but with a clear structure and understanding of how PHP and JavaScript work together, you can enhance your WooCommerce checkout page significantly. By following the steps outlined above, you're able to provide your customers with essential information clearly and efficiently.

Now, you can tailor your WooCommerce site to meet your business needs while ensuring a smooth user experience. Remember, the key lies in understanding how to combine elements seamlessly, and you’re now well-equipped to do just that!
