Save WooCommerce Order Product Name to User Meta C

Question

Caveat: I'm a solo freelance designer not a developer ;-)

I've created a custom field in the Wordpress user meta called membership.

I've tried the following code to save the WooCommerce Product Name to the membership custom field on checkout with help from this answer.

Updated attempt:

function wascc_woocommerce_checkout_update_user_meta_membership ( $customer_id, $posted ) {

    if (isset($posted['$orderid'])) {
        $order = $posted['$orderid'];
    }
    $theorder = new WC_Order( $order );
    $items = $theorder->get_items();

    foreach ( $items as $item ) {
        $product_name = $item['name'];
    }

    if (!(empty($product_name))) {
        update_user_meta( $customer_id, 'membership', $product_name);
    }   

}

add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_update_user_meta', 'wascc_woocommerce_checkout_update_user_meta_membership', 10, 2 );

It produces no error, but does not save the product name to membership.

Help appreciated.

Answer 1

as I've commented out, you should use woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta.

Something like this:

function wascc_woocommerce_checkout_update_user_meta_membership ( $order_id ) {

    $theorder = new WC_Order( $order_id );
    $items = $theorder->get_items();

    foreach ( $items as $item ) {
        $product_name = $item['name'];
    }

    if (!(empty($product_name))) {

        // Gets the customer/user ID associated with the order. Guests are 0.
        $customer_id = $theorder->get_user_id();

        update_user_meta( $customer_id, 'membership', $product_name );

    }   

}

add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 'wascc_woocommerce_checkout_update_user_meta_membership' );

I have doubts with your foreach loop though... you are looping just to get the last item?
