Add Short description to Invoice

Hello @fdelbene,

Just to be sure, when you say custom theme, do you mean a custom template?

If so, try adding this code snippet to your custom template:

<?php
if ( !empty($item['product']) ) {
    $_product = $item['product']->is_type( 'variation' ) ? wc_get_product( $item['product']->get_parent_id() ) : $item['product'];
    if ( method_exists( $_product, 'get_short_description' ) ) {
        echo $_product->get_short_description();
    }
}
?>

Let me know if it works!

Hello @fdelbene,

Glad to know it works!

By the way, this is also possible, without any code, using our Premium Templates. This extension includes a customizer that allows you to tailor your PDF documents, with product columns, totals rows, and custom blocks.

The customizer includes Product description columns for both short and long product description:

You can also use the placeholders {{product_description_short}},{{product_description_long}} or {{product_description_variation}} within Product column:

Have a nice day!
