You can display a custom notice at the top of the WooCommerce Cart page. This is useful for showing shipping offers, discount information, delivery times, or important store announcements.

Steps

  1. Open your theme’s functions.php file.
  2. Add the code below.
  3. Save the file.
  4. Open your WooCommerce Cart page.

Done — the custom message will appear above the cart contents.

function add_custom_message_before_cart() {
    echo '<div class="custom-cart-notice">
        🎉 Free shipping on orders over $100!
    </div>';
}

add_action(
    'woocommerce_before_cart',
    'add_custom_message_before_cart'
);
