Checkout: Action Reference

The WordPress Shopping Cart plugin will fire actions throughout it’s code and you can hook onto these actions while receiving parameters and execute your own functions accordingly.

It works exactly like the WordPress Plugin API/Action Reference by using the do_action() function in it’s code and the action hooks are used in the same manner.

More and more action hooks are constantly added to this documentation so remember to search or request more action hooks if you are looking for something specific. Below are all the available action hooks.

Tax Actions

• wpco_tax_settings_inside_before – Shows when tax calculation is on, before other tax settings at Checkout > Configuration > Tax & Shipping.
• wpco_tax_settings_inside_after – Shows when tax calculation is on, after the other tax settings at Checkout > Configuration > Tax & Shipping.
• wpco_tax_settings_outside_before – Shows at the top of the ‘Tax Settings’ box at Checkout > Configuration > Tax & Shipping.
