Another request I see a lot of inquiries about as I read more WooCommerce Facebook group posts is how to include additional product information on the Checkout page. Mostly, it’s the product description, short description, or thumbnail that store owners want to include. However, as a better learning experience for me, I’ll target other information and limit the functionality to a specific product. Learn how with me in this article.

Note: All of the examples in this post are part of a development/learning WooCommerce install using the default Storefront theme. PHP code is placed in the child theme’s function.php file.
Suppose I want to include a last-minute upsell (for lack of a better word?) for a particular product on the Checkout page. One of my favorite bass fishing lures, the jig, is a great example. (I know I can always use more of my favorite lures and baits 😆)
If there is only one jig added to the cart and the stock level is less than 5 remaining, we can provide a message that the stock levels are low.
The code below will accomplish this:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', 'woo_custom_checkout_additional_info', 9999, 3 );
function woo_custom_checkout_additional_info( $name, $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) {
if ( ! is_checkout() ) return $name;
$product = $cart_item['data'];
$quantity = $cart_item['quantity'];
if ( 'football-jig' == $product->slug && $product->get_stock_quantity() <= 5 && $quantity == 1 ) {
$mini_upsell = ' (Grab more now, only '.$product->get_stock_quantity().' left in stock!) ';
return $name . $mini_upsell;
}
}
As shown in the screenshot below, I’ve added 1 Football Jig to the cart:
Now on the Checkout page, we see the message letting the customer know that stock levels are low and it would be an excellent time to buy more:
On the other hand, this custom message will not display for any other products that do not have the slug, ‘football-jig’, nor so if the Football Jig product in the cart has a quantity greater than 1:
I realize this example has some flaws and may not even be feasible in a live shop. However, it was a great learning experience for me with WooCommerce and I hope it was for you also.
