Why you might need to customise the WooCommerce my account page

So, before we get into the tutorial, let's first explore why you might want to add extra pages to the account page.

If you're selling something that requires you to give a little more information to the customer after their purchase, the account area could be a great place to add this.

For example, a store that sells specialist plants might need to provide their customers with planting guides and instructions.

They can and should send this information to customers via email. But if that email gets lost, customers would be able to login to their account and find the information they need quickly and easily with a custom account page.

Similarly, a store that sells hardware likely needs to provide customers with user guides and extra information. So they can use their new purchase without friction.

By adding an extra page to the account area, you're making sure your customers don't have to jump through hoops to get the information they need.

To display different content depending on the user

If you run a membership site, you might require something a little more custom than the standard WooCommerce account area can provide.

You might be sharing too much information with the wrong customers if you add new custom account pages for all members. So, the ability to create account pages that only show up for certain users is crucial. All so you can share the right content, with the right people.

The above situations can all be solved with little fuss by using an account pages plugin. Below, we'll outline how to set this up and get it running in no time.
