How to Add Prefix or Suffix to Product Prices in WooCommerce?

WooCommerce allows you to add a symbol or word at the beginning of a product price, known as a prefix. Similarly, a suffix is a symbol that can be added at the end of a price. Although WooCommerce has a default format for displaying prices for suffix options in settings, there may be instances when one needs to include a prefix or suffix in prices. This could be for various reasons, such as showing taxes, indicating price range, or adding a unit of measurement. Some of the representation purposes are given below.

• multiple currencies like “$” or “USD”
• discounted items like ” – 10% Off” 
• denote the variant or package size. For example, “Small: $15,” “Large: $25,” 
• offering membership or subscription pricing, a suffix like “/month” or “/year” 
• bundled products or package deals, a suffix like ” – Bundle” or “Package” 

Somehow, adding prefixes and suffixes to product prices in WooCommerce can help to clearly indicate the parameters of the product listings.

     • $html: The current HTML string for the price suffix.
     • $product: The WooCommerce product object.
     • $price: The product price.
     • $qty: The quantity.
