How to get WooCommerce order details

Question

In WooCommerce from the following line code:

$order = new WC_Order( $order_id );

How can I get WooCommerce order details from the order id

Answer 1

ONLY FOR WOOCOMMERCE VERSIONS 2.5.x AND 2.6.x

For WOOCOMMERCE VERSION 3.0+ see THIS UPDATE

Here is a custom function I have made, to make the things clear for you, related to get the data of an order ID. You will see all the different RAW outputs you can get and how to get the data you need…

Using print_r() function (or var_dump() function too) allow to output the raw data of an object or an array.

So first I output this data to show the object or the array hierarchy. Then I use different syntax depending on the type of that variable (string, array or object) to output the specific data needed.

IMPORTANT: With $order object you can use most of WC_order or WC_Abstract_Order methods (using the object syntax)…

Here is the code:

function get_order_details($order_id){

    // 1) Get the Order object
    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

    // OUTPUT
    echo '
RAW OUTPUT OF THE ORDER OBJECT: 
';
    print_r($order);
    echo '

';
    echo '

}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.

Usage (if your order ID is 159 for example):

get_order_details(159);

This code is tested and works.
