WooCommerce: Calculate Sales by State

You’re filing your tax returns and need to know how much you earned in each state… but then find out WooCommerce doesn’t give you this calculation by default within its reports!

Don’t worry – today I’ll share a quick snippet so that you can calculate the amount you need in a second. Feel free to change the year, the country and the states in the snippet.

If you click on the brand new “Sales by State” submenu link, you will see this custom admin page with the total amount for each state as defined inside the snippet below

// -----------------------
// 1. Create "Sales by State" submenu page

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'bbloomer_wp_dashboard_woocommerce_subpage', 9999 );
 
function bbloomer_wp_dashboard_woocommerce_subpage() {
	add_submenu_page( 'woocommerce', 'Sales by State', 'Sales by State', 'manage_woocommerce', 'bb_sales_by_state', 'bbloomer_yearly_sales_by_state', 9999 );
}

// -----------------------
// 2. Calculate sales for all states

function bbloomer_yearly_sales_by_state() {	
	
	$year = 2023;
	$sales_by_state = array();
	
	echo "<h3>Sales by State For Year {$year} ($)</h3>";
	
	$args = array(
		'billing_country' => 'US', // COUNTRY
		'status' => array( 'wc-completed' ),
		'type' => 'shop_order',
		'limit' => -1,
		'return' => 'ids',
		'date_created' => strtotime( "first day of january " . $year ) . '...' . strtotime( "last day of december " . $year ),
	);
	$orders = wc_get_orders( $args );

	foreach ( $orders as $order_id ) {
		$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
		$sales_by_state[$order->get_billing_state()] = isset( $sales_by_state[$order->get_billing_state()] ) ? $sales_by_state[$order->get_billing_state()] + $order->get_total() : $order->get_total();
	}
	
	echo '<pre style="font-size: 16px">';
	ksort( $sales_by_state );
	print_r( $sales_by_state );
	echo '</pre>';
 
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

    Hello. Does this code snippet still work now that WooCommerce has done away with the Reports section and now uses the Analytics section? Thanks!

    Don’t know how everyone got it to work. As a newbie, I don’t know where to put this code. I followed the video link which led me to an account creation page. Added details, got an email created logged in, and reset the password. Now What? I can see that there is an order created but cannot open that video. If I come back here and click the video link again, It is asking again to create an account.

    I am sure the provided code works very well but it is of no use for a newbie.

    BTW I am not looking for pointers on where to put the code, I am just bringing up the workflow of this article/site.

    I updated it a bit to make it dynamically build out the states. Could modify a bit more to automatically do the countries too, but this was all I needed for now. Hope it helps:

        For anyone wanting to use this code, there are some HTML entity references that were triggering a fatal error on my site. Run a search and replace for [php]>[php] and change it to [php]>[php] and this snippet will work perfectly.

    It works great for me for all years except 2019! I don’t fully understand why, I can parse data for 2018 and 2020 but not for 2019. I get the following error: “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 805306368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /home/dermapla/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1995”

    Just a heads up. I do appreciate the snippet though!

    I suppose I will try to find a different solution.

      I guess you have too many orders in 2019 and the snippet crashes. It is definitely possible to fix this in regard to performance, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!

    Awesome. This helped beyond measure!

    Took some time to add all 50 states to the array but otherwise, was excellent. If you do ever build a plugin for this setup so that users could just install and enter the date range, I would pay for that! 🙂

        the following line generates an error now in the current WooCommerce Orders page:

        $reports['orders']['reports'] = array_merge($reports['orders']['reports'],$array);

        Error reads:

        Warning: array_merge(): Expected parameter 1 to be an array, null given in /home/kessler5/public_html/wp-content/themes/flatsome-child/functions.php on line 135

        Line 135 is where it sits in my child theme’s functions.php file of course. From what I can tell, it is not creating any issues anywhere else.

              Finally found a fix. Replace this

              $reports['orders']['reports'] = array_merge($reports['orders']['reports'],$array);

              with this: 

              if (isset($reports['orders']) && is_array($reports['orders']['reports']) && is_array($array)) {
	$reports['orders']['reports'] = array_merge($reports['orders']['reports'],$array);

    This is so helpful. Thank you! I have four states that I needed to pull information for, and this did the trick!

    How difficult would it be to display by month within the year totals? For instance, 2017 is already showing for the year – then filter down by month within the state totals like so:

    WA > Jan – $xxx; Feb – $xxx; Mar – $xxx | CA > Jan – $xxx; Feb – $xxx; Mar – $xxx and so on?
