WooCommerce: Edit User Field @ My Account

Each WordPress user comes with a set of pre-defined fields. These fields store essential information about each user, including the username, name, email, role, website URL, bio, etc.

User fields can be edited in two ways: by the admin, who has access to all user profiles and can edit any user data, including both default and custom fields; and by logged-in users, who can edit their own profile information.

WooCommerce users (customers) can also edit some user data from the My Account page: name, email and password (Account details tab); and also billing and shipping addresses (Addresses tab).

But what if we want to let customers set/edit their bio or their website URL, which are only editable from the WordPress edit profile page? Well, the snippet below will help you display and save data for a default user field, under the Account details tab of the My Account page. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Populate Billing & Shipping When Adding A New User @ WP Dashboard

If you do a lot of manual work such as creating WordPress users for a B2B WooCommerce site (because they can only shop if they have an account, and you’ve disabled registration on the frontend), you may want to populate some Billing and Shipping fields so that you can save some time.

For example, imagine if all customers are based in Florida, USA; you could automatically populate their billing country, billing state, shipping country and shipping state!

So, let’s see how to approach this. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Get Customer Second Last Order

There is a native, handy way to get a WooCommerce customer’s last order: wc_get_customer_last_order( $customer_id )

This time, I want to write some custom code to get the second last order instead. We will indeed reuse most of the above function code and change it slightly. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Change Address Format For a Specific Country

We’ve already covered a little about address formats when we added a custom House Number field to the WooCommerce Checkout page.

Address formats define the way Billing and Shipping addresses are formatted for the end user. Addresses show on the order received / thank you page, on transactional emails and on some My Account pages, and look like this:

{name}\n{company}\n{address_1}\n{address_2}\n{city}\n{state}\n{postcode}\n{country}

Now, what if you wanted to move the “company” before the customer name, or maybe have “address 1” and “address 2” on the same line, or move “postcode” to the last line? Well, thankfully there is a neat WooCommerce filter called “woocommerce_localisation_address_formats” that allows us to do just that – reformat any address for any country we wish. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Get Current User Orders By Status

This is a neat custom function that you can use in your WooCommerce customization. It can be helpful to know the list of orders placed by the current user ID, for example, if they are in their “My Account” page and you have a custom tab where you want to show e.g. only failed orders. Sooner or later this is something you’ll need. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Get List Of All Customers

Today’s snippet is a helpful shortcut for getting the list of customers in your WooCommerce website. This may be necessary during customization, especially if you need tailor-made features for administrators and shop managers in the backend or frontend.

How did I find out about the solution below? Well, our job is mainly copy/paste from online forums or read thoroughly the WooCommerce core files on a daily basis – so it must’ve been one of the two. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Add Column to “Users” Admin Table

On the admin side, you might need to display WooCommerce information inside the users table (WordPress Dashboard > Users). For example, their billing country. Or their phone number. Or maybe some custom calculation e.g. the number of completed orders.

Either way, this is super easy. First, we add a new column – second, we tell what content should go inside it. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Update User Meta After a Successful Order

When an order is placed in WooCommerce, you might want to change/add something in the User Meta programmatically.

For example, you could “check” a custom checkbox in the User Profile. Or maybe assign the User Twitter username. And so on 🙂

WooCommerce: Check if User Has Bought Product in the Last 365 Days

A few snippets ago we introduced the magic WooCommerce inbuilt function “wc_customer_bought_product” – automatically, with a single line of PHP, you can find out if the user has already purchased a product ID.

But when building my new #BloomerArmada section, I had to know if a user purchased a product ID in the last 365 days… so I rewrote the function, changed its name and added a little edit to it – easy peasy!
