Set an external order ID when creating programmatically a WooCommerce order

问题

I've been using some well documented code to programatically create Woocommerce orders. Working great. Reference here: https://quadlayers.com/add-products-woocommerce/

However I'd be keen to know if it's possible to define the order_id (or is that the post_id?) whilst creating my WC orders via a script. I run this code on my shop, which currently imports orders into Woocommerce from a marketplace online where orders already have an Order number and I'd be keen to cut out the cross-referencing via this hack, and pass along the existing Order number to WC.

Here's a rough idea of what I have;

$insert_marketplace_order_id = 1234567890;

$order = wc_create_order();
$order->set_order_id($insert_marketplace_order_id);
$order->set_date_created($date_here);
$order-> etc. etc.
$order->save();

I've obviously searched around, unfortunately the existence of a plugin - which seems to be all Google knows about it - doesn't help.

I would have though 'set_order_id' would do the trick, but perhaps there's an issue with where I'm placing it. Any other ideas?

In WooCommerce, the order Id is the post Id, so you can't insert an external reference Id as you are trying to do. WooCommerce orders are a custom post type and order Id (the post Id) is generated from last post Id used in wp_posts database table…

Now you can set instead an Order number using the filter hook woocommerce_order_number, to set your own order reference number as order number, which is not the WooCommerce Order Id (post Id).

So your code will be:

$insert_marketplace_order_id = 1234567890;

$order = new WC_Order();
$order->set_date_created($date_here);

// $order-> etc. etc.

$order->update_meta_data('_order_number', $insert_marketplace_order_id); // <== Here
$order->save();

Then you will add the following hooked function to be able to get and display the correct order number:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_number', 'wc_set_order_number', 10, 2 );
function wc_set_order_number( $order_id, $order ) {

    // Get the order number (custom meta data)
    $order_number = $order->get_meta('_order_number'); 

    return empty($order_number) ? $order_id : $order_number;
}

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme).

Now when using the WC_Order method get_order_number() WooCommerce will get/display the correct order number.

Note: As you don't use any arguments with wc_create_order() function is better to use $order = new WC_Order(); instead, which gives an empty WC_Order instance object without using save() method 2 times (so much lighter).
