A while back, I shared insights on adding the unit price to the checkout page. 



However, extending this feature to include unit prices in emails sent to the administrator and the customer would be incredibly beneficial.



Achieving this is somewhat more challenging compared to the checkout page adjustment. The complexity arises from modifying multiple templates and catering to plain text and HTML email formats.



Despite these hurdles, this task is certainly achievable. Let's explore how.







Why Including Unit Price in Emails Matters



Incorporating the unit price of each product in your email communications can significantly enhance the shopping experience for your customers. Here's why:




Transparency: Displaying the unit price in emails fosters a sense of transparency. Customers can see the cost of each item they've purchased, which builds trust and credibility for your brand.



Detailed Breakdown: It helps provide a detailed breakdown of the total cost. This level of detail is particularly beneficial for customers who order multiple items or in bulk, allowing them to easily review and understand the individual costs.



Post-Purchase Clarity: For customers who may not immediately recall the price of each item at the time of purchase, including the unit price in the confirmation or notification email serves as a useful reminder. This reduces confusion and potential pricing disputes.



Professionalism: Detailing unit prices in emails reflects a high level of professionalism and attention to detail, which can enhance the overall perception of your store.



Convenience for Record-Keeping: For customers and businesses, having the unit price in emails simplifies record-keeping, especially for accounting and expense-tracking purposes.




By adding unit prices to your emails, you're improving transparency and enriching the customer experience with these thoughtful details.



Updating the WooCommerce Email Templates



Grab the zip file linked below and unzip it. This will create a emails folder on your computer. Next, take this folder and place it inside the wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/woocommerce/ directory of your WordPress setup.



If your site is using a custom theme that already modifies email templates, proceed with care. Implementing these changes could potentially disrupt your theme's functionality. I recommend reaching out to the theme's creator for guidance before you override any templates.
