Issue
I'm looking for a Woocommerce action hook (or filter, I'm not sure) where I can update the shipping & billing address before the New Order email notification is sent.
Right now, I'm using the woocommerce_before_thankyou to update order meta.
The order is saved with correct address that I want to save, but the email is not displaying the correct address.
Here is the example code, similar with what I'm doing:
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'checkout_save_user_meta');
function checkout_save_user_meta( $order_id ) {
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$my_custom_address = 'My custom address';
update_post_meta( $order_id, '_billing_address_1', $my_custom_address );
update_post_meta( $order_id, '_shipping_address_1', $my_custom_address );
}
Any advice on which hook to use for this case?
Solution
You can use the woocommerce_checkout_create_order or the woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta action hook.
So you would get:
/**
* Action hook to adjust order before save.
*
* @since 3.0.0
*/
function action_woocommerce_checkout_create_order( $order, $data ) {
// Some value
$my_custom_address = 'My custom address';
// Update meta data
$order->update_meta_data( '_billing_address_1', $my_custom_address );
$order->update_meta_data( '_shipping_address_1', $my_custom_address );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'action_woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 10, 2 );
OR
/**
* Action hook fired after an order is created used to add custom meta to the order.
*
* @since 3.0.0
*/
function action_woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta( $order_id, $data ) {
// Get an instance of the WC_Order object
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
// Is a WC_Order
if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
// Some value
$my_custom_address = 'My custom address';
// Update meta data
$order->update_meta_data( '_billing_address_1', $my_custom_address );
$order->update_meta_data( '_shipping_address_1', $my_custom_address );
// Save
$order->save();
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 'action_woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 10, 2 );
