Querying WooCommerce orders
![](jpg/daniel-bradley-702681-unsplash-856x571.jpg)
I recently discovered WC_Order_Query
, which is essentially WooCommerce’s version of WP_Query
but specifically for orders.
Here’s an example of how to query completed orders by date:
<?php | |
$args = array( | |
'limit' => 9999, | |
'return' => 'ids', | |
'date_completed' => '2018-10-01...2018-10-10', | |
'status' => 'completed' | |
); | |
$query = new WC_Order_Query( $args ); | |
$orders = $query->get_orders(); | |
foreach( $orders as $order_id ) { | |
// ... | |
} |
It follows a similar structure to WP_Query
. Note that I’ve just requested the IDs, in order to make the query a lot lighter, and the very neat and easy way to query between dates. There is a fuller list of parameters on the WooCommerce Github wiki page.
Get customer details from a WooCommerce order
Once you’ve got your order, you probably want to extract some data. Using the order number, create an $order
object, then use get_user_id
to obtain the customer’s user ID:
<?php | |
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id ); | |
$customer_id = $order->get_user_id(); |
Get billing details from WooCommerce order
If you want to grab useful information like the customer’s email, phone number, name, address, etc, you can do it just using the $order
object:
<?php | |
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id ); | |
echo $order->get_billing_email(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_first_name(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_last_name(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_address_1(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_address_2(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_postcode(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_state(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_country(); | |
echo $order->get_billing_phone(); |
As you can see, WooCommerce has a load of simple methods to return useful customer information.
