Customizing the WooCommerce “My Account” page is one of the most requested features by designers and developers.
The “My Account” page of an ecommerce website is absolutely vital to the smooth running of its operations, should be well designed in order to allow users to fully make the most of account management and – of course – can be customized in order to convert more sales and or entice for return business.
The “My Account” page is an actual WordPress page (you can find it under “Pages”) which contains a WooCommerce shortcode. Such shortcode outputs the default account management tabs and their unique content.
In order to customize the look, feel, layout, content and design of the “My Account” page (and all its subpages of course, such as the “Edit Address” page), you have two different choices. If you’re familiar with PHP customization, almost anything can be achieved with simple snippets: add a custom tab, remove a tab, change the content of a tab, sort tabs, and so on. We’ve seen this already on Business Bloomer but I’ll link to a few articles and tutorials below as a reminder.
The other sleek alternative is to use a plugin. Sometimes, this might be a quick and error-free way to achieve what you need without the need of having to code. It’s up to you – so in this article we will see both methods!
1. WooCommerce “My Account” Customization Snippets
As a WooCommerce freelancer, I love coding and achieving things without installing plugins. That’s me though, so you might think that differently.
If you like challenges, PHP and WooCommerce hooks allow you to achieve pretty much anything on the “My Account” page.
Before listing some of the snippets I love, I suggest you go study my WooCommerce “My Account” Visual Hook Guide: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-visual-hook-guide-account-pages/ – this will give you an idea of how the account management pages are coded and what “hooks” you can use to display additional content.
Once you’ve done that, you can take a look at these useful snippets (the links should be self-explanatory):

2. WooCommerce “My Account” Customization Plugins
Suppose your goal is to offer outstanding customer service. In that case, you can customize the My Account Page to provide your customers with the information they’re searching for, answer their questions via FAQs, or allow them to download user or instructional guides.
While the standard WooCommerce installation doesn’t come with many customization abilities or user-friendly ways to add additional custom fields – you can easily achieve it using custom WooCommerce My Account page plugins.
You don’t want your customers to scour through your store to get answers to their questions – only to frustrate them in the process. Instead, you can make the My Account page a comprehensive hub for your customers – where they can find user guides and information about warranties, past orders, or even rewards.
Here’s how your store benefits by customizing the WooCommerce My Account page:
- Minimized product returns: Adding additional product information, instructional guides, or manuals will help customers feel confident about the products they’re willing to purchase – reducing the likelihood of returns.
- Increased customer loyalty: Customizing the My Account page helps make their lives easier by giving them all the information they need at an easy-to-find location, which also eliminates the need to contact customer service. It also offers them a place to find exclusive discounts and coupons for being your loyal customers.
- Maximum customer retention: Offering additional coupons and discounts on the My Account Page can help you make your customers keep coming back and make them eager – so they check in from time to time for new sales and offers.
- Reduced customer complaints/inquiries: 67% of customers prefer self-service over calling specific representatives. Providing user guides and an all-in-one place to view products and look for answers will make them less likely to contact you for the same or other inquiries.
