# Customizing Upsell Markup

Developers and those familiar with PHP and WordPress templating can harness that power to customize the markup of the Donation Upsells add-on. This document explains the process in detail.

## Available Templates

There are two templates available for customizing within the Donation Upsells add-on:

- **donation-wrapper.php** — includes the code that wraps donation lists on the checkout or cart within WooCommerce.
- **donation-single.php** — includes the code that renders the donation form option with the toggle header.

You can find these existing templates within the plugin’s file structure at `/Give-Donation-Upsells-WooCommerce/templates/`.

## How to Override the Default Template

In order to customize the templates in a way that won’t be erased on a plugin update, copy the entire template files into a directory within your active theme named (exactly) `/give-woocommerce/`

For example, to override the donation-single template,  
find the file at `wp-content/plugins/give-donation-upsells-woocommerce/templates/donation-single.php`

`wp-content/themes/yourtheme/give-woocommerce/donation-single.php`.

Happy templating!
