Let’s say you have already styled your WooCommerce email and want to use the same email design for a custom email, how will you go about that? Turns out its pretty easy. For the sake of simplicity , I am assuming you have the needed data in variables, change them accordingly as per your code.
For instance, right now, your email function looks something like this:
This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| $email = ‘ashfame@example.com’; | |
| $subject = ‘Custom stuff email’; | |
| $email_content = ”; // whatever it is | |
| wp_mail( $email, $subject, $email_content ); |
Now, do the following and it will pull the email design in use with WooCommerce emails even if you haven’t styled it.

| $email = ‘ashfame@example.com’; | |
| $subject = ‘Custom stuff email’; | |
| $email_heading = ‘Custom Heading’; | |
| $email_content = ”; // whatever it is | |
| ob_start(); | |
| do_action( ‘woocommerce_email_header’, $email_heading ); | |
| echo $email_content; // or simply have HTML markup outside PHP tags here | |
| $email_content = ob_get_clean(); | |
| wp_mail( $email, $subject, $email_content ); |
The magic happens by calling in header and footer markup of WooCommerce emails along with the actual content, buffer the output it and pass that on to mail function.
