WooCommerce: Easily Get Order Info (total, items, etc) from $order Object

As WooCommerce a freelancer, every day I repeat many coding operations that make me waste time. One of them is: “How to get ____ if I have the $order variable/object?”.

For example, “How can I get the order total”? Or “How can I get the order items”? Or maybe the order ID, customer ID, billing info, payment method, total refunds and so on… hopefully this article will help you save time as well 🙂

1. You have access to $order

Hooks (do_action and apply_filters) use additional arguments which are passed on to the function. If they allow you to use the “$order” object you’re in business. Here’s how to get all the order information:


// Get Order ID
$order->get_id();

// Get Order Totals $0.00
$order->get_formatted_order_total();
$order->get_cart_tax();
$order->get_currency();
$order->get_discount_tax();
$order->get_discount_to_display();
$order->get_discount_total();
$order->get_fees();
$order->get_formatted_line_subtotal();
$order->get_shipping_tax();
$order->get_shipping_total();
$order->get_subtotal();
$order->get_subtotal_to_display();
$order->get_tax_location();
$order->get_tax_totals();
$order->get_taxes();
$order->get_total();
$order->get_total_discount();
$order->get_total_tax();
$order->get_total_refunded();
$order->get_total_tax_refunded();
$order->get_total_shipping_refunded();
$order->get_item_count_refunded();
$order->get_total_qty_refunded();
$order->get_qty_refunded_for_item();
$order->get_total_refunded_for_item();
$order->get_tax_refunded_for_item();
$order->get_total_tax_refunded_by_rate_id();
$order->get_remaining_refund_amount();

// Get Order Items
$order->get_items();
$order->get_items_key();
$order->get_items_tax_classes();
$order->get_item();
$order->get_item_count();
$order->get_item_subtotal();
$order->get_item_tax();
$order->get_item_total();
$order->get_downloadable_items();

// Get Order Lines
$order->get_line_subtotal();
$order->get_line_tax();
$order->get_line_total();

// Get Order Shipping
$order->get_shipping_method();
$order->get_shipping_methods();
$order->get_shipping_to_display();

// Get Order Dates
$order->get_date_created();
$order->get_date_modified();
$order->get_date_completed();
$order->get_date_paid();

// Get Order User, Billing & Shipping Addresses
$order->get_customer_id();
$order->get_user_id();
$order->get_user();
$order->get_customer_ip_address();
$order->get_customer_user_agent();
$order->get_created_via();
$order->get_customer_note();
$order->get_address_prop();
$order->get_billing_first_name();
$order->get_billing_last_name();
$order->get_billing_company();
$order->get_billing_address_1();
$order->get_billing_address_2();
$order->get_billing_city();
$order->get_billing_state();
$order->get_billing_postcode();
$order->get_billing_country();
$order->get_billing_email();
$order->get_billing_phone();
$order->get_shipping_first_name();
$order->get_shipping_last_name();
$order->get_shipping_company();
$order->get_shipping_address_1();
$order->get_shipping_address_2();
$order->get_shipping_city();
$order->get_shipping_state();
$order->get_shipping_postcode();
$order->get_shipping_country();
$order->get_address();
$order->get_shipping_address_map_url();
$order->get_formatted_billing_full_name();
$order->get_formatted_shipping_full_name();
$order->get_formatted_billing_address();
$order->get_formatted_shipping_address();

// Get Order Payment Details
$order->get_payment_method();
$order->get_payment_method_title();
$order->get_transaction_id();

// Get Order URLs
$order->get_checkout_payment_url();
$order->get_checkout_order_received_url();
$order->get_cancel_order_url();
$order->get_cancel_order_url_raw();
$order->get_cancel_endpoint();
$order->get_view_order_url();
$order->get_edit_order_url();

// Get Order Status
$order->get_status();

// source: https://docs.woocommerce.com/wc-apidocs/class-WC_Order.html

2. You have access to $order_id

If you have access to the order ID (once again, usually the do_action or apply_filters might give you this), you have to get the order object first. Then do the exact same things as above.


// Get $order object from order ID

$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

// Now you have access to (see above)...

$order->get_id()
$order->get_formatted_order_total( )
// etc.
// etc.

Where to add this snippet?

You can place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file (before "?>" if you have it). CSS, on the other hand, goes in your child theme 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 free video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?

Please let me know in the comments if everything worked 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 on PHP 7+.

    Thanks for this list! I’m trying to make good use of it. So I’ve set up an action in my functions.php file like this (is this a good place to hook into Woo?):

    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_billing_form', 'bazaarvoice_data' );

    and I am trying to get all kinds of stuff from about the Order, so I’ve started with the following:

    function bazaarvoice_data () {

global $woocommerce;
global $order_id, $order;

$order_id = $order->get_id();

echo $order_id;

}

    And, when I run things, I keep getting this error:
    [22-Sep-2019 22:58:45 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get_id() on string in /mnt/objectivefs/dev_sites/gunvault/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/functions.php on line 50

    So, I figure I’m missing something, but what? Do I need to add something to the get_id()? Or is it something else?

    Huge thanks in advance.

      Hi Walt – that’s the wrong hook as the $order doesn’t exist yet. Try with “woocommerce_thankyou” instead, which gives you access to $order_id

    Hi,

    I used a total different template for those emails and unfortunately, I don’t manage to get the total discount…
    From this list (awesome btw), I should use either `$order->get_discount_total();` or `$order->get_total_discount();` but both display 0 while if I come back to the default woocommerce email template, the discount is displayed.

    The discount I’m talking about is not a coupon but a buy 2 get 1 free that has been coded in the store. But since Woocommerce template gets it, why can’t it?

    Thanks for the help,

    Any idea?

    Hello Rodolfo,

    I have created a custom template in my theme file and would to get Woocommerce order details variable in that page. However when I tried to echo $order->get_total(), internet server error with notice “Failed to load resource” appeared. Is there possibility whereby the code only function if the php is in Woocommerce plugin directory?

    Thank you.

    1. Rodolfo Melogli

      Hey Will, thanks for your comment! The code will work everywhere (however, it’s better if you place it in functions.php) as long as you have access to the $order variable

    Hi Rodolfo,

    I would like to add a script at the “thank you page” in WooCommerce to run a URL like:

    Could you help me getting this parameters?

      Upss! I forgot to wrap it between tags.

      This is the URL:

      <script async src="https://example.com?total_price=XXXXXXX&order_id=XXXXXXX"></script>

        Hey Marco, thanks for your comment! Please see https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-add-conversion-tracking-code-thank-page/ and then given you have access to “$order_id”, you can “echo” those values with PHP inside the script. Hope this helps

      Hey Rodolfo,

      I tried to publish:

      add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'bbloomer_conversion_tracking_thank_you_page' );
 
function bbloomer_conversion_tracking_thank_you_page() {

    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

    echo $order->get_order_number();
    echo $order->get_formatted_order_total();

?>

<?php
}

      But the page seems blocked. When I remove the code above and I reload the page, then it works. I think that the problem is related to de $order. I am not a developer.

      Thank you very much for your help.

      Marosseculi, if you’re still here would you mind sharing how you got the order_id and order_total into the link? I understand where to put the code (functions.php) but I’m unsure of how those values get written into the link.
