What are the character limits for "Text" and "Text Area" add-on types?
These add-on types don't have character limits, but you can suggest a limit to your customers from the Checkout Label or Description fields. If you need to enforce a limit, refer to the WooCommerce developer docs to learn how to do it with custom code.
Can multiple files be uploaded by customers using the "File" add-on?
Each File add-on will only allow a single file upload. However, you can include multiple File add-on fields if necessary. Alternatively, you can encourage ZIP file uploads to include multiple files using only one File add-on field.
Do add-ons only appear when customers are purchasing certain products?
By default, add-ons and their associated pricing apply to the entire cart. Display rules can be set so that an add-on only appears when specific products or categories are in the cart, but the add-on and its associated discount or fee will still be applied to the entire cart.
If you need product-specific add-on options and price settings, consider adding the Product Add-ons extension to your site.
Can the Checkout Add-Ons extension be used with One Page Checkout?
Yes, Checkout Add-ons supports One Page Checkout from version 1.3.0 onward.
Can an add-on be hidden from the Orders list?
Any checkout field can be temporarily hidden from the Orders list by using the Screen Options tool.
Can the way add-ons appear on the checkout page be changed?
Add-on fields inherit the styling set by your site's main theme, and therefore should match the rest of your styling by default.
Target #wc_checkout_add_ons with some CSS to add different styling. Learn more about custom CSS styling in WooCommerce.
Can HTML be used in add-on field options?
HTML can be used in the options of Radio and Multi-checkbox add-on types. The HTML elements should be individually wrapped in double braces:
{{<a href="link">}} Link Text {{</a>}}
Can placeholders and descriptions be added?
Yes, you can add these using code snippets. Refer to the examples in the WooCommerce developer docs to learn more.
