After a long search, I found this post:
WooCommerce hook for "after payment complete" actions
which talks about creating web hooks in WooCommerce t
If you so desire to inspect the web hook request makeup, I suggest you head over to requestb.in and setup a bin. Thus allowing you to inspect the request and formulate an action handler.
Hint: the webhook request sends relative information in the body of the request as JSON formatted data. Once you decode the body, it's easy to traverse it and extract the needed information.
On a different leg of the answer, I point you to @helgatheviking answer and use the woocommerce_payment_complete
hook. Once inside the hook, fire off a curl POST request and insert in the body any request handler dependencies. You will extract those dependencies from the $order_id
.
with the help from @helgatheviking and @Scriptonomy I settled on this code, with NO webhook enabled in woocommerce->settings->api->webhooks:
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'so_payment_complete' );
function so_payment_complete( $order_id ){
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$billingEmail = $order->billing_email;
$products = $order->get_items();
foreach($products as $prod){
$items[$prod['product_id']] = $prod['name'];
}
$url = 'http://requestb.in/15gbo981';
// post to the request somehow
wp_remote_post( $url, array(
'method' => 'POST',
'timeout' => 45,
'redirection' => 5,
'httpversion' => '1.0',
'blocking' => true,
'headers' => array(),
'body' => array( 'billingemail' => $billingEmail, 'items' => $items ),
'cookies' => array()
)
);
Now I just have to write the listener :) This is the body of the request that gets sent (which I can see at requestb.in):
billingemail=%22aaron-buyer%40thirdoptionmusic.com%22&items%5B78%5D=Cult+Of+Nice&items%5B126%5D=Still&items%5B125%5D=The+Monkey+Set
The woocommerce_payment_complete hook is fired when the payment is completed. The only variable passed is the order id, though from that you can get the order object, and ultimately the user.
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'so_payment_complete' );
function so_payment_complete( $order_id ){
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$user = $order->get_user();
if( $user ){
// do something with the user
}
}
