Hi, I am beginner in woo-commerce, I did not understand where code has to paste to add new custom fields.

for add image what will i do????

hi,

how to add the custom field in order page for woo commerce

can in use this code to add shipping tax from user side into cart as well as checkout

hi there Akshaya, it seems like an amazing feature to woocommerce, but somehow i cant get that to work.

I added before the add-to-cart-button the following field that need to be placed into the order:

<input type="hidden" id="user_data" name="user_data" value="” />

also used this JS:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery(‘.single_add_to_cart_button’).click(function(){
alert(‘sending ajax request’);
var user_data = ‘user_data’;
var id = ‘id’;

var ajaxurl = ”;
jQuery.ajax({
url: ajaxurl,
type:”POST”,
data: {
action:’wdm_add_user_custom_data_options’,
user_data : user_data,
id : id

},
async : false,
success: function(data){
alert(‘ajax response recieved’);
}
});
})
});

and the function wdm_add_user_custom_data_options_callback() is getting this value from the post -> $user_custom_data_values = $_POST[‘user_data’];

but the result im getting in the cart is :

user_data : user_data

i haven’t changed anything in your code, placed the functions in my theme functions.php and the JS in my wp-content/themes/main/woocommerce/single-product/add-to-cart/simple.php file, since its a simple product

also, woocommerce version is = 2.6.11
and on the inspector in forefox im getting “Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user’s experience.” something that souldnt be an error, since you stated in your jQuery.ajax -> async : false,

any suggestions where to look ?? i really would love to have this working.

Thank you again

Hello!

Is function working for now? I’m try to implement it but without success.

Session create and store the values but filter woocommerce_add_cart_item_data don’t to do anything. It
it even don’t make unset for session variables

Hi Akshaya
Brilliant tutorial and very thoroughly explained. I have used it and its working but I’m encountering a small problem. In the first go the data from the input field went smoothly through all the phases but when I try to do it the second time, the data won’t pass like the first time, it won’t show up on the checkout and order details.
Please let me know what I’m doing wrong. Thank you

I’d love to see an update of this using the new CRUD methods. Going to be a lot of hair pulling. I myself am almost bald since they rolled it out.

Hello Akshaya,
Your article is fantastic, but there is a question.
With your code it is possible to change the price of the product before inserting in the cart?
How can I insert a modified price into the cart?
Thank you so much

How I did it creating a plugin.. because when I send my data to functions.php by jquery ajax it does not work.
Here is my code .If there any wrong please help.

$(document).ready(function(){

$(“.btn”).click(function(){
var url= $(‘input#url’).val();

var text1=$(‘select[name=something]’).val();
var text2=$(“input[name=’optradio’]:checked”).val();
$.ajax({
type:’POST’,
url: url,
data:{
text1:text1,
text2:text2,
}
});
});
});

Hello, thank you for this precious post… I have followed your all steps for array of data and found good result… i have stored the data inside order_item_meta database but i didn’t get the item in order table inside woocommerce… please guide me how to display that customs meta data array in order table inside woocommerce.

Hi Victor, thanks for sharing, can we chande the total cart amount with this ?

Is this code is not working….?

Hello, Akshaya R

I want to make relation between Gravity form and woocommerce on my site , So when user submit form its unique entry_id store in session such that it will store in post meta(meta_value) of that Order and later i will able to display that entry_Id in fornt of each order_id in woocommerce my account page , for now i am able to fetch entry_id for each user . So how i can use this code to accomplish that..?

Thanks all

Hi, it’s great you’ve given this solution to us all, thank you.

Would the process be similar to add custom data to the whole order?

I’m attempting to add custom meta data to the order from a page after cart but before checkout.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your awesome tutorial. Very helpful and educational. Just one question regarding step 5 “Add Custom Data as Metadata to the Order Items” I found that sending an array to wc_add_order_item_meta() of course serializes the meta value on the table woocommerce_order_itemmeta. I’m storing several values in $values[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’]

The problem is WC is unable to display that order item meta in the admin area / emails. I mean WC cannot show serialized data as item meta. I tried adding a simple text variable and it worked, but storing an array like isn’t. Any suggestion? Many thanks.

Dear Akshaya,

Thank you for this tutorial, it has helped me a lot so far! I do have a small problem with this approach and I can’t get fixed yet. When I add a custom product to the cart, everything works just fine. When I proceed to add another product to the cart (the same product with different custom field data), it doesn’t add a new product to the cart. Instead, it adds one to the quantity of the original ordered item.

In your scenario, this means if I would like two video template designs – one with the name “You” and another one with the name “Me” – in the cart there is only the video template design with the name “You” with a quantity of 2.

My gut feeling tells me it has something to do with the cart_item_key which gets reused for every order of that product, disregarding the custom item data. Do you have an idea how to solve this problem? Am I missing something?

Hi,

I have followed the instructions as per this post. The main issue i faced was that it doesn’t work for the first item which i added to the cart, subsequent items added do work though.

Appreciate your assistance please

Thanks for the tutorial helped me a lot!!

Hi Akshaya Rane,

I’ve followed all your steps to store custom data into sessions. When I click on “Add to cart” button, an ajax call is sent and getting a success message after the data is stored in session, but after that it hasn’t redirected to cart page. Can you please help me out.

Thanks

Thanks for this script, however I have a problem. When using Firefox or Safari, when I am taken to the cart page, the custom data fields are missing. Doing the exact same thing in Chrome works and the fields are listed correctly. There are no JS errors. Can you think what could be causing this? Thanks.

Hi Akshaya,

Thanks for all the work.
I got through all the steps, but I can’t get it to work.
I want to sent the data when I’m at the shoppage, when I click add to cart. So not on the Single product page. On both pages I can’t get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Thanks for this post.

I’m new in WooCommerce and I want add to cart a custom item, with custom values from a form.
If I have my form, where to I need point the target of my form?
I just want add a simple item in the cart with custom values, including the price.

Thanks.

Hi All,
Am adding order item meta like below.
$custom_img_thumb=”;
wc_add_order_item_meta($item_id,’custom_img_thumb’,$custom_img_thumb);
This is adding to database table properly but, the image source is data url. In the file `class-wc-order-item-meta.php` this function `wp_kses_post()` is removing `data:` word from image data url.So it’s not fetching properly.can anyone help me out.

Hi, after few weeks i find your post, and its GREAT! I’m fighting with my input fields, is it possible to set price from added input to my value? i added 2 custom fields to my category,but i can’t validate price, and save values from fields

Hi,

Thanks so much for this post – it is quite literally exactly what I’ve been searching for. Sadly I’m a complete novice when it comes to PHP and WordPress so I’m struggling a bit…a lot! to get this working. So far I have…

1. Added all six parts from your initial post to my /wp-content/themes/THEMENAME/functions.php

2. Created a js file as detailed later in your post. My js file lives in /wp-content/themes/THEMENAME/js/

I’m a little confused what the name of my JS file should be? So I went with “wdm_single_product_page.js”

3. I’ve added additional function to functions.php in same location as step one. Sadly I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘)’ in …. functions.php

Reading on I noticed another user had this issue and they resolved it by removing > – I don’t have this listed but still get the error – see below:

$array_to_be_sent = array( ‘ajax_file_path’ = admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’));

Any help / guidance you can provide would be very much appreciated. Is the JS file I’ve created correct? Is the array_to_be_sent variable being set correctly?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
thanks very much for this post, Here is my question:
In my website, i have more than 3,00,000 products that changes every day, so I think it is not wise move to store in wp_posts and wp_postmeta, so I stored all these products in another table like “diamond_details”, so how can I add products from this table into my cart?

I think it is something like same as above, but not getting exact idea how to do this, which code to be added and where to put that code, can you please help me?

Hello Akshaya R

Thanks For this Article, as in this tutorial you add custom data to the cart, checkout and order meta , same i want to add product category in cart, checkout page and order meta. it will be a huge help if you give me solution for this . waiting for your positive response , Thanks in advance 🙂

I am very new to Woo Commerce and I don’t know where to put all this code,so please give me all code in one place

Hello, and thank you so much for this snippet!
I am trying to set more meta to a cart item with this method, but it is not easy (or I use a wrong approach). So I send my meta fields one-by-one via AJAX ( 3 fields, 3 ajax post). That is okay, they get into the session. In the functions.php I make an array (manually) with the posted field names, and try to use a foreach in every step to go through them but it is does not work – just on the first element of the array. Without foreach (assigning a function to each meta) it works, but the redundancy is huge :/ Any suggestions?

Hi!
may be i miss something 🙂

what is $_POST[‘user_data’] ?

i just need to save an array for each item and retrive it in the order detail.

thanks a lot

$array_to_be_sent = array( ‘ajax_file_path’ =&gt; admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’));
Hi this is exactly the code i need, but the issue is that when i try to run the above code an error is generated against the line of code shown above. It tells that “=” shouldnt be there. What to do, please help.
