How to Make a Custom WooCommerce My Account Page

How to Create a Custom My Account Dashboard

If you’re running an online store using the WooCommerce plugin, you’re probably familiar with the My Account page. This is the page your customers see when they log into their account.

By default, this page is pretty barebones, like this one.

There is so much more potential and so much more you can do with this very important part of your eCommerce store.

You can customize it to include much more information and interesting features to improve the user experience.

We are going to show you how to customize the WooCommerce My Account page and give your customers a much better experience!

By following these steps, you’ll be able to create a professional-looking My Account Page just like the one below.

Ready? Let’s get started!

Why Customize the My Account Page in WooCommerce?

The My Account page is your user’s dashboard to manage their orders, check downloads, edit their address, and edit their account details.

A well-designed My Account page can provide a better user experience for your customers.

In addition to being easy on the eyes (who doesn’t love pretty things?), this layout makes managing accounts much more convenient.

Here are a few reasons why making a great My Account page is vital:

Better Customer Satisfaction

If you can provide your customers with all the information they need on the My Account page, they are less likely to contact you for help.

A well-customized My Account page will make your customers feel more comfortable and confident when shopping in your store.

Better Customer Retention

Customizing the My Account page can also help retain customers.

If you make it easy to access their account information and order history, they are more likely to continue shopping with you.

A happy customer is more likely to come back.

Reduced Product Returns

When you make the My Account page better, it helps customers get all the information they need about the product, including shipping details, tracking information, and more.

With all this information in one place, in an easy-to-use interface, customers won’t have to worry about the fulfillment of the product.

When you put your customer’s minds at ease, they have a much more positive experience, which can result in repeat custom.

How to Customize the My Account Page

Now we know the benefits and how they can be applied to your business, let’s add those design changes to your My Account page.

Customize Your My Account Page Manually

For this method, first, we will install all the required plugins and themes; next, we’ll design the My Account Dashboard and finally hide the default WooCommerce navigation.

Important: Copy each link from your current My Account Page and save it in a separate document.

This is going to come in handy in future steps.

Step 1: Install the Required Plugins

You can use whatever WordPress page builder you prefer.

We used Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg (UAG) for this design.

ultimate addons for gutenberg plugin

UAG is a lightweight plugin that adds fantastic design layouts and blocks to the Gutenberg library.

It is compatible with all the themes and is completely free to download.

You’ll also need one other plugin called the Gutenberg Blocks Library & Toolkit – Editor Plus.

editor plus plugin for WordPress

This plugin lets you add custom CSS to individual Gutenberg blocks. We’ll need this plugin in step 3.

Both of these plugins are available in the WordPress plugins library and you can download them for free.

Step 2: Design Your Dashboard

Once you have downloaded the plugins you want, it’s time to customize the WooCommerce My Account Page.

1. Go to Pages > My Account from your WordPress dashboard.

2. Click on Edit to start editing the page.

You’ll see my account default short code added in there. This shortcode lets WordPress know that the page is the My account page.

3. For now, copy the shortcode in another document and delete the block. We will need it, just not right now.

4. In the column, add an Info Box block.

add an information box

5. From the right side bar, use the block settings to customize the block.

Here set the icon position as Left Of Text And Title and set the vertical alignment to Middle.

information box added

6. You can also choose to enable or disable the title, and separator from the sidebar.

remove title and separator from information box

Here we are disabling the title and the separator.

You can do so by turning the toggle button off next to the Enable Title option.

To disable the separator, select None in the Style option under Separator.

7. Finally, go to the CTA section and set the CTA Type as a complete box.

edit information box details

8. Next, go to the list view from the top and select and duplicate the column until you have 6 of them.

duplicate the column

Add the necessary content in the editable space, and your page should look like this.

9. Now is the time to add the correct links to each box.

add cta links to info boxes

This way, each icon box becomes active and sends your customer to the respective page.

10. Change the icons in each of the icon boxes to something relatable to the title.

To do this, select an icon box, go to Icon Settings and search for the icon closest to the title.

Finally, click on the icon in the icon box.

add the right icon to the info box images

11. We can add some borders to create a separation between the icon boxes.

  1. Go to List View and select a column.
  2. From the right sidebar, go to Border settings and add some thickness to the setting. In this case, we added 2 px.
  3. Go to Border Radius and change the radius if you like. We have added a 5% radius to add a slight curvature in this case.

12. Finally, add the WooCommerce My Account Shortcode.

  1. Click on the “+” button.
  2. Select the Shortcode option.
  3. Paste the WooCommerce My Account shortcode in the bar that appears.
add WooCommerce shortcodes

Once you add the shortcode, you’ll notice that the old WooCommerce My Account dashboard reappears below your current design.

We can simply hide that using the CSS code that we will cover in the next step.

Step 3: Hide the WooCommerce My Account Page Navigation

For this step, you will need to add a small CSS snippet to your website.

  1. Go to the Live View.
  2. Select the column you want to hide. In this case, the shortcode column.
  3. From the right sidebar, go to Custom CSS setting.
  4. Paste the following custom CSS:
.woocommerce-MyAccount-navigation {
display:none;
}
.woocommerce-account .woocommerce-MyAccount-content {
width: 100%;
}
hide shortcode in customized WooCommerce my account page

With these settings in place, your My Account Page will now look much better!

Step 4: Change the Visibility Settings of Your Page

Now, the My Account page looks better than the default version. Only one problem is that even logged-out users will see the same format.

Here’s how it looks when a logged-out user visits the WooCommerce My Account page.

That’s not how we want the page to work. We only want those elements to be visible to logged-in users.

  1. Select the column you want to stay hidden from logged-out users from the List View. In this case, select the columns containing icon boxes.
  2. From the Right Settings, Side Bar, go to Block Settings > Advanced.
  3. Set the Display Conditions to User State.
  4. Toggle on the Hide From Logged Out Users option.
  5. Do it for both columns.

  9. Hi I used elementor to create custom my account page like your youtube video, the big issue is that it is visible to all visitors. It should be only visible to logged in customers like standard menu. can you suggest what do i need to do?

      1. Hello Adam. Thank you for such a useful video. As I can see on YouTube comment section and here as well, the biggest issue seems to be that after editing my-account in the way your video outlines my-account becomes accessible by all visitors instead of only Users who are logged in. I see that you suggest using Dynamic Conditions plugin but frankly, I can’t find a way to make it work. Would you please give some quick tips on how to apply Dynamic Conditions to your example to solve this?

    Hi There,

    I wonder if I can ask please how you have setup your blog post and archive pages in Astra? It is exactly the look I am going for – I have not setup my site yet but have been playing with Astra and Elementor PRO and Thrive.

    Social elements then Content then sidebar

    (I can never size the header image properly to full width or find how I get the borders as you have) – what widths are you using?

    Can I be cheeky and ask for a copy of some of your blog and pages templates for elementor?

    Your site is basically what I am after?

    🙂

    Looks like a widget on sidebar?

    Or is it custom layouts and elementor content?

    Ideally I would like to assign widgets

    Love your videos!

  19. Hey Adam! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us, useful as always. I’d love to hear you say something on why did you change your comments system back to the regular one? Thank you 🙂
