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!
PHP Snippet: Get WooCommerce Customer Second Last Order
Please note below the only minor difference from the “last order” code:
LIMIT 1 , 1
This gets the second last record inside the database (the second “1” is the offset).
To return the second last order, use bbloomer_get_second_last_order_cot( 123 ), where “123” is the customer ID. This snippet is already compatible with HPOS.

$second_last_order_id = $wpdb->get_var( $sql );

$second_last_order_id = $wpdb->get_var(
"SELECT posts.ID
