Have you ever wondered if you could enhance WooCommerce’s default sale badge with something more attractive? If so, you’re in luck! You can definitely customize product badges to make them stand out, whether it’s to showcase new arrivals, highlight sale items, or promote limited-time offers.

This guide will take you through two straightforward methods to add custom product badges to your WooCommerce store: using a plugin or implementing simple code.

What Are WooCommerce Product Badges?

Product badges are those little labels like "Sale" or "New" that appear on products. They serve to grab the customer’s attention and direct them to important product details, bolstering your store’s appeal. While WooCommerce offers a basic sale badge out of the box, it might feel a bit mundane and restrictive for your creative needs.

Custom badges, however, allow you to express your brand’s personality and draw focus to key offerings that can drive sales.

Method 1: Use YITH WooCommerce Badge Management

The YITH WooCommerce Badge Management plugin is a great option for adding customizable badges. It allows you to incorporate various styles and types of badges seamlessly.

1. Installing the Plugin: Download the plugin file, and then install it via your WordPress dashboard.

2. Setup and Activation: After activating the plugin, provide your YITH account details to activate your license.

3. Hiding the Default Sale Badge: In the plugin settings, go to ‘General Settings’ and enable the ‘Hide WooCommerce “On Sale” badge’ option.

4. Creating Your Custom Badge: Navigate to the ‘Badges’ tab to create new badges. You can select from several types: text, image, CSS, or advanced badges for sales.

5. Setting a Display Rule: Go to the ‘Badge Rules’ tab to set conditions for when and where your badges will appear. This could include things like product categories, tags, or even specific sale conditions.

6. Preview and Adjust: Make sure to check your store’s front end to see the new badges in action.

Method 2: Use Custom Code

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can add custom badges using code without needing advanced technical skills.

1. Install WPCode: This plugin simplifies adding code snippets to your site. Once installed, create a new snippet and select ‘PHP Snippet’ as the type.

2. Paste Your Code: Here’s a code snippet to customize and add your badges:

// Remove default WooCommerce sale flash badgeremove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_show_product_loop_sale_flash', 10 );remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title', 'woocommerce_show_product_loop_sale_flash', 10 );remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_show_product_sale_flash', 10 );// Add custom badges to productsadd_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'add_custom_product_badges', 10 );function add_custom_product_badges() {    global $product;    // Logic for displaying badges}

3. Styling Your Badges: Create a CSS snippet to modify the appearance of your badges to ensure they fit in with your store’s look and feel.

With either method, you can now effectively draw customers’ attention to key products and potentially increase your sales. By taking the time to implement custom product badges, you not only enhance the visual appeal of your products but also create a more engaging shopping experience for your customers.
