WooCommerce Conditional Blocks

The WooCommerce Conditional Blocks plugin lets you easily configure alerts, messages, advertisements and additional product content based on a set of rules that you configure to target specific conditions throughout your store.

Effortlessly display blocks across your store based on customizable rules and conditions.

This plugin enables dynamic block placement throughout your store, tailored to your shoppers’ actions and behaviour. Whether it’s displaying messages, promotions, reminders, or custom content, the plugin’s powerful rule builder lets you adapt your store to meet diverse scenarios. For example, show specific content when customers add items to their cart, browse certain product categories, or view products in a defined price range or stock status.

Dynamic Rule Builder

At the core of the Conditional Blocks for WooCommerce is an intuitive rule builder. It enables you to define simple conditions, such as promoting a sale for a product category, or more complex scenarios involving multiple criteria.

The plugin includes a comprehensive list of predefined criteria to make rule creation quick and flexible. Choose from WooCommerce’s hooks to place content without needing deep technical knowledge. Additionally, for custom use cases, you can specify your own filters or use template tags directly in your theme.
