Hello, ladies and gentlemen! In this article, I will explain how to add a thousands separator in WordPress. Let’s be honest—numbers like 100000 or 55555 don’t look very convenient or aesthetically pleasing when written together. And when it comes to millions, it gets even worse! This is especially relevant in Kazakhstan with the tenge currency.
To make prices more visually clear, we need to format them properly. Below, I will provide you with a step-by-step guide that allows you to add a thousands separator—whether it’s a space or a comma—without any programming knowledge.
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Thousands Separator in WooCommerce
Large, unformatted numbers look terrible. Let’s take a simple example:
To improve readability, it’s better to add a separator. The best option is to use a space. The reason is simple: commas are commonly used as decimal separators, and other symbols are not widely used for this purpose.
Now, let’s add a thousands separator. Open the WordPress Admin Panel → WooCommerce Settings → General.
Scroll down to the Currency Options section at the bottom of the page. Find the Thousands Separator field and simply click on the space option. You don’t need to enter any special tags.
Click Save Changes. Done! Now, the prices look much better.
f you don’t like using a space, you can choose any other symbol as a thousands separator, such as a dot, slash, or even a whole word or phrase with spaces and punctuation.
I hope this guide was helpful. That’s all for now – wishing you success and all the best!
