    Nice tut! Maybe you have an answer to the following issue:

    I want to display the billing data below the order table in checkout. But I have no clue how to reorder the checkout-page.

    Kind regards!

    Hi, Thanx For the tutorial! it works great! exept one thing, i can’t get the new custom field in the ‘new order mail’ or any other e-mail to the customer. I paste the code in the function.php from my theme.

    What do i do wrong? Maybe you can tell me?

    Thanks in Advanced..

      Did you add the last block of code:
      /**
      * Add the field to order emails
      **/
      add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys', 'some_order_meta_keys' );

      function some_order_meta_keys() {
      if (get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Some Field')) {
      echo 'This is the custom information you entered in Some Field: ' . get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Some Field', true) . '
      ';
      }
      }

      That should work for you. If not, try adding the code from this page instead: http://woodocs.wpengine.com/document/add-a-custom-field-in-an-order-to-the-emails/
      /**
      * Add the field to order emails
      **/
      add_filter('woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys', 'my_woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys');

      function my_woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys( $keys ) {
      $keys['How did you hear about us?'] = 'hear_about_us';
      return $keys;
      }

    Great info, Scott. I wonder if you could help with my issue regarding this one. I have tried both versions to get the custom meta into the email (adding to the $key array, as well as directly getting the post meta via get_post_meta). I’ve made sure to use the correct key and value for the $key array, and I’ve been sending tests and checking variables used in the function. Your solution to use the get_post_meta uses the get_the_ID function, but no id is returning for me. Am I missing something? What variable(s) can I test for to get it working correctly.

    Thanks very much!

    Thanks for the tutorial.
    It works alright but how can I check if the custom field contains data and then add a fee if e.g. is filled ?

    I tried some hooks like woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees
    woocommerce_calculate_totals, woocommerce_review_order_after_shipping and woocommerce_checkout_process
    but I need it to update totals before I click the confirm order button so the client can see the fee

    • Scott says

      I haven’t tried to set a fee for a custom checkout field. These fields were set up to be more informational. For example, if someone wants to add engraving to a product the customer can enter the message to be engraved in this field. The field wouldn’t show up for any product in the cart because not all products are able to accept engraving.

      I have seen some sites use this method by creating two products – one is the base product that is able to be engraved, and a second product, which is simply an up charge for engraving. The up charge for engraving product is the product that this conditional field would be applied to, so if someone purchases the product but doesn’t want it to be engraved, the up charge (and the conditional field) do not show up in the checkout.

      Hope this helps.

    Hi, is it possible to add 2 number input fields to :simple product, order pages(only values from inputs), and validate price on product page? After few weeks of fighting i added fields to product in my categories, but i can’t set price and save values ;/

    • Scott says

      The methods discussed in this article specifically refer to adding a custom field to the checkout pages only – this doesn’t dive into adding a field to the product page.
      However, if you are looking to have some inputs from customers only for certain products, you can try the Conditional Woo Checkout Field Plugin, which will display a field at checkout only if a particular product (or products) are in the customer’s cart.
      This plugin doesn’t update the price of the order, however it will allow you to collect the information you require.
      I hope this helps!

    • Scott says

      You should be able to add a second field to the checkout page by simply duplicating the code in the functions above, and adjusting for the appropriate field name, message, etc.

      If you would like, there is a plugin I sell that should be able to do what you’re looking for called Conditional Woo Checkout Field Pro. It’s relatively inexpensive, and might save you some headache.

      This plugin will let you have up to five extra fields at checkout. The plugin does require you to specify which products it will display the fields for, so it can display both fields for only certain products, or if you enter in every product ID, you can have the fields display at checkout regardless of which products are being purchased.

    HI, I’m trying to display my custom field which i’ve created in product page, and i need it to show after customer made payment, in order details page.
    I’ve trying to using hook, but nothing happened, can’t understand why, when i’m trying to var_dump or print_r variables i don’t get my custom code.
    Here is the code….
    add_action( ‘woocommerce_order_details_after_order_table’, ‘code_activation’, 10, 2);

    function code_activation($order_id){
    $order = new WC_Order($order_id);
    $items = $order->get_items();

    foreach ($items as $item) {
    $product_name = $item[‘name’];
    $product_id = $item[‘product_id’];
    $product_variation_id = $item[‘variation_id’];

    }

    echo ‘‘.__(‘Activation code’).’: ‘ . get_post_meta( $order_id->id, ‘activation_code’, true ). ”;

    }
    I’ll be really appreciate for any help…

    This tutorial is awesome it helped me .i have one question how i can add those fields in email and recipt also….for now i can see only those fields in order view in meta box from admin panel i want those fields to be there in customer order recipt to….

    • Scott says

      The last section in this tutorial “Add a Custom Field to WooCommerce Order Emails” should help get what you’re looking for.

    • Scott says

      You would need to hook into woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_shipping_address, and adjust the CSS that controls the display of that meta box.

      I haven’t really tested it, but something like this should work:

      In functions.php/site specific plugin, add:
      add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_shipping_address', 'display_admin_order_meta', 10, 1 );

      function display_admin_order_meta($order){
      echo '

      ';
      if (metadata_exists( 'post', $order->id, get_option('Some Field') )) {
      echo '

      ' . get_option("Some Field') . ':

      ' . get_post_meta( $order->id, get_option('Some Field'), true );
      }
      }
      }

      Then you would have to add the style to the admin pages, so that the columns are more narrow (so they’ll all fit in the space). Something like this should work:
      #order_data .order_data_column {
      width: 23%;
      }

    Thank you so much for this. Is it also possible to add this field to be available on the web service side of woocommerce?

    Hi,
    In the pro plugin demo, is there a way to add custom fields based on product quantity fields?
    In order to collect names of attendees when selling tickets.
