WooCommerce: Add Column to Orders Table @ WP Dashboard

The WooCommerce Orders Table, which can be found under WP Dashboard > WooCommerce > Orders, provides us with 7 default columns: Order – Date – Status – Billing – Ship to – Total – Actions. This is used by shop managers to have an overview of all orders, before eventually clicking on a specific one.

So the question is: how can we display additional columns to that same orders table, so that we can immediately visualize an order custom field, a specific product contained in the order, or anything order-related that can be “calculated” once we have access to the $order variable?

add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'bbloomer_add_new_order_admin_list_column' );

function bbloomer_add_new_order_admin_list_column( $columns ) {
    $columns['billing_country'] = 'Country';
    return $columns;
}

add_action( 'manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column', 'bbloomer_add_new_order_admin_list_column_content' );

function bbloomer_add_new_order_admin_list_column_content( $column ) {
  
    global $post;

    if ( 'billing_country' === $column ) {

        $order = wc_get_order( $post->ID );
        echo $order->get_billing_country();
	  
    }
}

Where to add this snippet?

You can place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file (delete "?>" if you have it there). CSS, on the other hand, goes in your child theme style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my free video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?

Please let me know in the comments if everything worked as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting on PHP 7.3.

    Sorry, the code works perfectly, I had an active plugin that blocked this function.
    But I have a question, how can I show a user meta field in that column? I’ve created the following custom field in the user backend as follows, and I need to display it in that column:
    
    add_filter( 'woocommerce_customer_meta_fields', 'admin_address_field' ); function admin_address_field( $admin_fields ) { $admin_fields['billing']['fields']['clientes_conflictivos'] = array( 'label' => '¿Cliente conflictivo?', ); return $admin_fields; }

It is possible to alter the default displayed order column? ( the first column)
Instead display only order no. & customer name, I would like to add some extra string placed after each customer name!

Please give me instruction.
Thank you

Hi Rodolfo,

Thanks for the tutorial. I have almost the same question as Carole asked in 2018. Is that possible to show all the photos for ordered items include variations (if exist) and how to make it happen? I tried different ways and just can’t make it work.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I have some custom checkout fields I would like to show as columns, how do I need to change your code to work for my use case?

I tired it as it is but only seems to work for standard checkout fields like country, state, first name, etc.

Btw, thank you for the snippet 🙂

Hi Rodolfo,
Perfect, I added my code for get_total_tax(). It’s helpful for to do my accounting (with Dougs), not oblige to open each order for check if I must indicate if it’s taxed or not. But right now I’ve no idea how to add the Stripe fee in a column. I’m going to see that later. Unless you have an idea 🙂
Thanks a lot again for your tips.
