Thank You Page for WooCommerce PRO – Rules Page Documentation

The Rules Page in the Thank You Page for WooCommerce PRO plugin allows you to create dynamic rules to customize and control the Thank You page redirection based on specific order details. This gives store owners the flexibility to define custom experiences for their customers based on various order attributes such as products, categories, user roles, payment methods, and more.

Overview

This page provides the ability to set conditional rules for redirecting customers to a specific Thank You page after they complete a purchase. Each rule is built by combining conditions, such as products bought, user roles, or payment methods, to determine where customers are redirected.

  • How to Use:
    • You can either select a predefined Thank You page from the dropdown list or manually enter a custom URL.
    • Example: http://neebplugins.local/product-thank-you/
  • Recommendation: Ensure the URL is valid and points to an existing page that provides a good post-purchase experience for your customers.

2. Conditions

Conditions allow you to specify the criteria that must be met for a customer to be redirected to the defined Thank You page. You can add multiple conditions, and they are evaluated together to determine if the rule should be applied.

Example Rule Setup

Let’s assume you want to create a rule that redirects customers to a specific page based on their product and payment method. You could configure a rule like this:
  1. Page URL: http://neebplugins.local/product-thank-you/
  2. Conditions:
    • Product: Includes “Cap”
    • Payment Method: Includes “Cash on delivery”
  3. AND/OR Selector: Select AND
  4. Add New Rule if you want to create a separate rule for different conditions.
With this rule, when a customer buys a “Cap” and pays via “Cash on delivery,” they will be redirected to http://neebplugins.local/product-thank-you/ upon completing their order.

Best Practices for Creating Rules

  • Simple Rules First: Start by creating simple rules and test how they work before adding more complex conditions.
  • Prioritize Important Conditions: Focus on conditions that align with your business goals, such as rewarding specific customers or targeting certain product categories.
  • Avoid Overlapping Rules: Make sure your rules do not conflict or overlap, as this may cause unintended redirection behavior.
  • Test Each Rule: After creating a rule, test it by completing an order to ensure customers are redirected correctly based on the conditions.
This concludes the detailed documentation for the Thank You Page Rules in the Thank You Page for WooCommerce PRO plugin. By using these flexible rules, you can create tailored post-purchase experiences for your customers based on their specific order attributes.
