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!

This is the backend area for WordPress users = “customers”. You will be able to get this exact list with the code below in case you need it elsewhere e.g. a dropdown for the admin, a custom report for store managers, and so on.

PHP Function: Get List of All WooCommerce “Customers”

/**
 * @snippet       Get Array Of WooCommerce Customers
 * @how-to        Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE
 * @author        Rodolfo Melogli
 * @compatible    WooCommerce 6
 * @donate $9     https://businessbloomer.com/bloomer-armada/
 */

function bbloomer_customer_list() {
	$customer_query = new WP_User_Query(
		array(
			'fields' => 'ID',
			'role' => 'customer',			
		)
	);
	return $customer_query->get_results();
}

Usage: call the bbloomer_customer_list() function and then loop over the returned array to go through each customer and get whatever you need:

foreach ( bbloomer_customer_list() as $customer_id ) {
	$customer = new WC_Customer( $customer_id );
	echo $customer->get_billing_first_name() . ' ' . $customer->get_billing_last_name();
}

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.

      Hi Roopam you can’t really do that, the second part of the snippet must be wrapped into its own function first.

    Hi I love you code and always use it, I have been for years. Would you know a way of adding a custom checkout filed that displays a list of all the existing customers and the user been able to select them in the form, I know you have two separate tutorials on this but I could not get it to work together. Thanks

      Hi Darren, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, 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!

If you are writing code, please wrap it between shortcodes: [php]code_here[/php]. Failure to complying with this (as well as going off topic, not writing in English, etc.) will result in comment deletion. You should expect a reply in about 2 weeks - this is a popular blog but I need to get paid work done first.
