When coding in PHP for WooCommerce, sometimes you’ll need to know what’s inside the “Order Array”, so that you can use its elements to print some custom message on the thank you page, or maybe modify its default behaviour.
There is a great PHP function that helps a lot – it’s called print_r() and you can use this to “see” what’s inside the order array 🙂
PHP Snippet: Print WooCommerce Order Array on the Thank you Page
/** * @snippet See what is inside the Order array - WooCommerce * @how-to businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-customization * @sourcecode https://businessbloomer.com/?p=21945 * @author Rodolfo Melogli, Business Bloomer * @compatible WC 2.6.14, WP 4.7.2, PHP 5.5.9 */ add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'bbloomer_print_order_array', 5 ); function bbloomer_print_order_array( $orderid ) { $order = wc_get_order( $orderid ); print_r( $order ); }
Wouldn’t it be a good idea for the print_r to only echo for specific roles or capabilities like store manager or site admin?
Good point. I should’ve specified this snippet is only helpful during development/troubleshooting so it shouldn’t be used by other users otherwise
