WooCommerce: Count User Purchases By Product ID (Shortcode)

If you’re developing custom landing pages or sections dedicated to logged in customers, knowing the quantity purchased of a certain product ID might come useful.

We already saw how to detect whether a logged in customer has purchased a given product, as well as a snippet to return all products purchased by a specific user – but this time I want to “count” how many times a current user has purchased a product ID, and return this on the screen via a shortcode.

From this snippet you can learn lots of things, for example how to create custom shortcodes, how to get customer orders, and how to set up a foreach loop in PHP. Either way, enjoy!

Count how many times a WooCommerce product ID was purchased by current logged in customer

	// LOOP THROUGH ORDERS AND SUM QUANTITIES PURCHASED
	$count = 0;
	foreach ( $customer_orders as $customer_order ) {
		$order = wc_get_order( $customer_order->get_id() );
		$items = $order->get_items();
		foreach ( $items as $item ) {
			$product_id = $item->get_product_id();
			if ( $product_id == $atts['id'] ) {
				$count = $count + absint( $item['qty'] );

	// RETURN HTML
	return '<b>You purchased: ' . $count . ' items</b>';

Where to add custom code?

You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its 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 guide "Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?" and my video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?

Please let me know in the comments if everything went 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.
