Custom Admin Column WooCommerce Orders

To add a custom admin column to the WooCommerce orders in the WordPress admin area, you can use the manage_edit-shop_order_columns and manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column filters. This allows you to define new columns and populate them with custom data. Here’s an example of how you can achieve this:

function wpsnippets_add_custom_order_columns( $columns ) {
    // Add a new column with a custom heading
    $columns['custom_column'] = 'Custom Column';

    return $columns;
}

add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'wpsnippets_add_custom_order_columns' );

function wpsnippets_populate_custom_order_column( $column ) {
    global $post;

    if ( 'custom_column' === $column ) {
        // Get custom data for the order
        $custom_data = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'custom_data', true );

        // Output the custom data in the column
        echo $custom_data;
    }
}

add_action( 'manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column', 'wpsnippets_populate_custom_order_column' );

In this example, we’re adding a custom column called “Custom Column” to the WooCommerce orders screen.

Inside the wpsnippets_add_custom_order_columns function, the manage_edit-shop_order_columns filter is used to modify the columns array. We add a new column with the key custom_column and the desired column heading.

Inside the wpsnippets_populate_custom_order_column function, the manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column action is used to populate the custom column with data. We check if the current column being processed is our custom column ('custom_column'). Then, we retrieve the custom data associated with the order (in this case, custom_data) using get_post_meta() and output it in the column.

By adding this code snippet to your WordPress site, you will see a new custom column in the WooCommerce orders screen in the admin area, populated with the desired custom data for each order.
