Add Theme Support For WooCommerce

If you are using a custom theme with WooCommerce, make sure to declare WooCommerce support using the add_theme_support function. This will enable WooCommerce template overrides and ensure that your theme is compatible with WooCommerce. If you don’t declare WooCommerce support, your shop may be displayed using shortcode-based unsupported theme rendering.

Declaring WooCommerce support is straightforward and involves adding one function in your theme’s functions.php file.

function mytheme_add_woocommerce_support() {
    add_theme_support( 'woocommerce' );
}

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'mytheme_add_woocommerce_support' );

Another way of adding this code without editing your theme file is by using a WordPress plugin, WPCode. Just create and activate a code snippet in your WordPress admin panel to add this functionality.

Optimize B2B Shipping with WooCommerce Use My Shipper Plugin

The WooCommerce Use My Shipper plugin allows shoppers to use their own shipping accounts when checking out on your WooCommerce store. This can save your customers money on shipping, and it can also make the checkout process more streamlined for them. If you are running a B2B e-commerce store and looking for a solution to optimize your shipping process, the WooCommerce Use My Shipper plugin might be exactly what you need.

This is a great tool for a B2B E-commerce website. I’ve implemented this plugin for a client’s E-commerce store and it was very helpful for selling products online to another business that has it’s own shipping account.

The Use my Shipper plugin by IgniteWoo is easy to configure, and it comes with great support. To use the plugin, you will need to define a label for the shipping method, as well as a list of acceptable shipper names. You can also add an optional handling fee. 

Once the plugin is configured, shoppers will see the “Use Your Shipper Account” option at checkout. When they select this option, they will be prompted to enter their shipping account information. The plugin will then calculate the shipping cost based on the shopper’s shipping address and the shipping rates from their chosen carrier.

Note: This is a paid plugin, so calculate in a yearly expense to add this functionality to your website with this plugin. I found it worth it for my client’s website. I’ve never had any issues with it not working.
