Good afternoon,
I am setting up a room reservation system which uses door codes to get in. Is there a feature with WooCommerce where I can have it generate a custom code and then have it sent in a custom email? Thank you.
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
I have escalated this with our development team. They will back to you as soon as possible.
Kind regards.
Hi, Shawn,
This PHP snippet will automatically generate a random 4-digit code (when order is processed on checkout) and save it in the
door_codeorder meta:add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_order_processed', function ( $order_id, $posted_data, $order ) { if ( '' !== $order->get_meta( 'door_code' ) ) { return; // make sure we don't overwrite order's existing door code } $door_code = sprintf( '%04d', rand( 0, 9999 ) ); $order->update_meta_data( 'door_code', $door_code ); $order->save(); }, 9, 3 );Then we can add it to the custom email with the
[order_meta]shortcode:[order_meta key="door_code" before="Door code: "]
The shortcode should be added to the “Email content” option (in “WooCommerce > Settings > Emails > Custom email #X”).
P.S. When testing, I’ve set the “Triggers” option to the “New order (Any status)”.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think.
