I’m not sure. Are you sure about the taxonomy name being “product_cat_” I’m assuming it is based on the name of the template file being used.

and you may need your action and function that you’d normally use for woocommerce. I don’t know a lot about how ACF plays with woocommerce.

What I do know is that your original code the_field('custom_category_content'); was not working because you were not supplying it with the needed id value to get the value of a custom field that is attached to a term according to the ACF doc (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/the_field/)

You can make sure that $term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id; is returning a valid term ID.

$object = get_queried_object();
echo $object->term_id;

you can even check the entire queried object to see what’s in there

object = get_queried_object();
print_r($object);
