Question 1

Can I add multiple dropdown fields to my checkout?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add multiple dropdowns to your checkout, but it’s best to limit them to one or two. Fewer fields mean fewer drop-offs during checkout. If you need more information, use conditional logic to show fields only when relevant, or collect extra data after purchase using surveys or follow-up emails.

Question 2

Will adding dropdowns slow down my checkout page?

Accepted Answer

No. A basic dropdown has almost no impact on page speed. Problems only occur if the dropdown loads data dynamically (via AJAX) or uses heavy JavaScript for styling. Keep it simple, and your checkout will stay fast.

Question 3

How do I add pricing to dropdown options?

Accepted Answer

With FunnelKit, you can add order bumps and offer add-ons, and the cart total updates automatically when you select them. With custom code, you’ll need to add fees using the woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees hook based on the selected option. This requires PHP and some JavaScript.

Question 4

Do these methods work with WooCommerce Blocks checkout?

Accepted Answer

FunnelKit works with both classic checkout and block-based checkout. For custom code, the woocommerce_checkout_fields hook applies only to the classic checkout. For block checkout, you must use woocommerce_register_additional_checkout_field(). The block checkout uses different syntax and rules.

Question 5

Will dropdown data appear in order emails?

Accepted Answer

By default, no. FunnelKit has a simple 'Enable' option to show fields on order emails and thank-you pages. For custom code, you need to hook into woocommerce_email_after_order_table and output the saved value manually.

Question 6

Can I remove shipping from WooCommerce for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can remove shipping from WooCommerce for free using the default settings. FunnelKit offers a free version that includes the ability to remove the shipping field. Also the custom code is completely free and works with any theme.

Question 7

Will removing shipping affect tax calculations?

Accepted Answer

No, not if you keep billing address fields. WooCommerce calculates tax based on billing address when shipping is disabled. Make sure your tax settings in WooCommerce ⇒ Settings ⇒ Tax are configured correctly for your jurisdiction. Some locations require physical address even for digital goods for tax purposes.

Question 8

Why is WooCommerce still showing shipping after I removed it?

Accepted Answer

Caching or stored sessions may cause old shipping data to appear. Clear your WooCommerce transients, empty cache, and refresh the checkout to verify the updated settings.

Question 9

What happens if I later add physical products to my store?

Accepted Answer

If you used the custom code method to remove shipping entirely, you will need to remove that code and configure WooCommerce shipping zones. If you used FunnelKit, simply re-enable shipping in the checkout editor. Consider using conditional shipping checkout pages.

Question 10

Will this remove shipping from the WooCommerce admin area?

Accepted Answer

No, the methods shown here only affect the customer interface. Your WooCommerce admin dashboard will still show Shipping settings and options. This allows you to configure shipping later if your business needs change without affecting current customers.

Question 11

How do I handle international customers without shipping?

Accepted Answer

For digital products, collect the billing country to ensure tax compliance and restrict sales to specific regions if necessary. Use WooCommerce geolocation or FunnelKit's country-based rules to display different checkout pages based on the customer's location. Some countries require specific information even for digital transactions.

Question 12

How to add custom order status in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

You can add custom order statuses in WooCommerce using a plugin or a custom code with the ‘register_custom_order_status’ action to your theme’s functions.php file. We have talked about it in this post in detail.

Question 13

How to change the default order status in WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

You can change the default order status in WooCommerce using a plugin or custom code with the ‘change_default_order_status’ filter. In addition, you can change the default status according to the payment method. For example, you can change the default status for cash on delivery or bank transfer payments.

How can I manually update WooCommerce order statuses?

Accepted Answer

Click on the status and select the one you want from the dropdown. Once done, hit the ‘Update’ button to save the changes.

Question 16

How many custom order statuses should I create?

Accepted Answer

I recommend a maximum of 2-5 custom statuses. More than that creates complexity without proportional benefit. Ask yourself whether this status triggers a specific action or customer communication that differs from that of adjacent statuses. If not, you don't need it.

Question 17

How can I find the path of the Woocommerce "order-pay" link?

Accepted Answer

To find the endpoints, go to WooCommerce ⇒ Settings ⇒ Advanced and scroll down to checkout endpoints.  Usually, an order-pay page link in WooCommerce looks like this:  https://yourstore.com/checkout/order-pay/{ORDER_ID}/?key=wc_order_{UNIQUE_KEY}

Question 18

When should we use the order pay page?

Accepted Answer

Use the order-pay page when a customer's order is created, but payment is still pending. It's useful for: Manual orders created by admins Failed or abandoned payments that need completion Custom payment flows where customers pay later

Question 19

Can I customize the WooCommerce order pay page to match my store's branding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can customize the order pay page in WooCommerce. By using a plugin like FunnelKit Funnel Builder, you can match the page’s design with your store’s branding, including colors, fonts, and layout. This ensures a cohesive and professional payment experience for your customers.

Question 20

What happens if a customer doesn't complete their payment using the order pay page link?

Accepted Answer

If a customer doesn’t complete their payment via the order pay page link, the order status will remain as pending. You can send reminders or set up automated email notifications to encourage the customer to complete their payment.

How do I create condition-based coupon codes for the order total?

Accepted Answer

You can create condition-based coupon codes for the order total in FunnelKit Automations. Specify the order total condition and add the coupon creation action under the Yes statement. This way, if that condition is fulfilled, the sequence will create a new coupon automatically.

Question 24

What is the difference between static and dynamic discount coupons?

Accepted Answer

Static coupons have a pre-determined discount code, such as “SAVE10”, that doesn’t change according to a specific user. These coupons are typically created for a wide audience without any customization. Some of their use cases include static discounts for seasonal sales, general promotions, and clearance events.Dynamic coupons generate unique codes for each user, enabling personalized discounts and targeted marketing. These coupons are typically created for personalized marketing campaigns, loyalty programs, retargeting, abandoned cart recovery, and more. 👉 Learn everything about WooCommerce discounts here.
