In WooCommerce forms, most of the clients need extensions in forms that best suit their business requirements. For instance, you may want to add a social security number along with certain registration fields. To save this extra field in the form, For saving this extra field in the form, you need to add notices/messages for the users.

Similarly, you may need to display error or success messages regarding a WooCommorce operation. You can use the wc_add_notice function to display these error messages on your custom pages/form. The WooCoomerce standard notice display function is as follows:

wc_add_notice($message, $notice_type);

It accepts two parameters:

$message is the text to display in the notice
$notice_type is the type of message you want to display

It also accepts three types of values:

Error
Notice
Success

If you want to modify the templates of these messages, then you can modify the following files:

templates/notice/error.php
templates/notice/notice.php
templates/notice/success.php

Hello h8maus,

We have tested wc_add_notice function on our end. It’s working fine. You can print three different notices for your product. We are also sharing a code snippet as an example for you.

add_action( 'woocommerce_init', 'pt_custom_notice' );
function pt_custom_notice() {
	wc_add_notice( 'This is a Success notice', 'success' );
	wc_add_notice( 'This is a Error notice', 'error' );
	wc_add_notice( 'This is a \'Notice\' notice\'', 'notice' );
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_init', 'pt_custom_notice' );

function pt_custom_notice() {

wc_add_notice( 'This is a Success notice', 'success' );

wc_add_notice( 'This is a Error notice', 'error' );

wc_add_notice( 'This is a \'Notice\' notice\'', 'notice' );

}

Hi, is it possible to add a custom notice_type?
I tried:
1. i copied woocommerce/templates/notices/success.php into mytheme/woocommerce/notices/warning.php
2. changed the css class to woocommerce-warning
3. added some CSS to customize the colors
4. added ‘woocommerce_notice_types’ filter to add ‘warning’ types to the print list
… and it’s working!
BUT it behave in a slighty different way than other notice_types: when updating cart my “warning” message is not updated, where ‘error’, ‘success’ and ‘notice’ types are updated.

Any ideas?
thanx!

This also worked for me, the message appears on the /shop page above the product loop.

This ‘wp_print_notice’ on the other hand provides the same notice but where ever you happen to run the code:
wc_print_notice( $message, $notice_type = ‘success’ );
