WooCommerce Customization: Hide Price Data from Order Email

In this tutorial, I will show you how to hide price data from WooCommerce emails.

Let’s just take a quick look at how the email will look like before and after the removal of price data.

Before the removal of price data

After the Removal of Price Data

Method 1: Remove Price Data With CSS

Add the code below to your plugin or your active theme’s functions.php

function ymcode_hide_shipping_row_with_css()
{
    ?>
    <style>
        table table table table th:last-child,
        table table table table .order_item td:last-child,
        table table table table tfoot {
            display: none;
        }       
    </style>
    <?php
}

add_action('woocommerce_email_header', 'ymcode_hide_shipping_row_with_css', 10, 0);

Method 2: Remove Price Data by Editing the Template File

A better method is to place these two edited template files in the active theme’s folder as WooCommerce suggests.

Place the code below in a file under your active theme’s directory/woocomerce/emails/email-order-details.php

<?php
/**
 * Order details table shown in emails.
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/emails/email-order-details.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
 * (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
 * maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
 * happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
 * the readme will list any important changes.
 *
 * @see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/
 * @package WooCommerce/Templates/Emails
 * @version 3.3.1
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
    exit;
}

$text_align = is_rtl() ? 'right' : 'left';

do_action( 'woocommerce_email_before_order_table', $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text, $email ); ?>

<h2>
    <?php
    if ( $sent_to_admin ) {
        $before = '<a class="link" href="' . esc_url( $order->get_edit_order_url() ) . '">';
        $after  = '</a>';
    } else {
        $before = '';
        $after  = '';
    }
    /* translators: %s: Order ID. */
    echo wp_kses_post( $before . sprintf( __( '[Order #%s]', 'woocommerce' ) . $after . ' (<time datetime="%s">%s</time>)', $order->get_order_number(), $order->get_date_created()->format( 'c' ), wc_format_datetime( $order->get_date_created() ) ) );
    ?>
</h2>

My Preferred Method

Hiding the price data with CSS is a quick and dirty way. However, you can never guarantee that it will work on every email client, which is why I prefer removing the data from template files.

Depending your need, you may decide which one to use. They both will work on major email clients.
