WooCommerce Conditional Tags

Conditional tags are PHP functions that return true or false for the current request. Use them to check which WooCommerce page a visitor is viewing.

Six useful conditional tags

Function	Returns true when	Useful detail
`is_shop()`	The main shop archive is displayed.	Not a test for every WooCommerce page.
`is_product()`	A single product page is displayed.	Does not match the shop or product category archives.
`is_product_category()`	A product category archive is displayed.	Pass a category slug, such as `'shirts'`, to check one category.
`is_cart()`	The configured cart page is displayed.	Checks page context, not whether the cart has items.
`is_checkout()`	The checkout page is displayed.	Checks page context, not whether an order was completed.
`is_account_page()`	A WooCommerce My Account page is displayed.	Use endpoint checks when a particular account view matters.

Timing and common mistakes

Check after the query is ready. WooCommerce's conditional-query functions should be evaluated after WordPress resolves the request; the wp action is a safe early point. Calling is_product() directly as functions.php loads may return false even on a product page.
Don't confuse page and content checks. is_shop() checks the main product archive, while is_product() checks one product. is_product_category( 'shirts' ) tests the category slug, not its visible label.
Don't treat conditions as insertion points. A conditional tag identifies page context; an action or filter hook controls when your callback runs or which value it changes. Classic-template hooks may not apply to block-based layouts.
Don't use is_woocommerce() as an all-pages shortcut. It is not a reliable substitute for the dedicated cart and checkout checks.
