WooCommerce Admin Custom Order Fields

Description

WooCommerce Admin Custom Order Fields (GPL)

Capture the exact data your team needs on every order—cleanly, consistently, and right inside WooCommerce. Add unlimited admin-only fields (text, number, select, checkbox, textarea, date/time) to standardize production notes, PO numbers, delivery instructions, compliance checks, warehouse references, and more—without changing checkout.

Feature Highlights

• ✅ Unlimited field types — text, number, select, checkbox, textarea, date/time.
• 🧭 Structured placement — group and position fields on the order edit screen for a tidy workflow.
• 📋 Orders table columns — surface key values as sortable columns for fast triage.
• 🔎 Search & filter by meta — find orders instantly using field values.
• ✉️ Email snippets — optionally inject selected field values into admin/customer emails.
• 🛡️ Role-based visibility — control who can view or edit sensitive data.
• ⚙️ Developer-friendly — hooks/filters and native order meta for custom automations and reports.

Detailed Overview

Spreadsheets and ad-hoc notes don’t scale. WooCommerce Admin Custom Order Fields creates a first-class, standardized data layer on each order so operations, fulfillment, accounting, and support work from the same source of truth. Promote high-signal fields to the Orders list for instant scanning, filter by values to prioritize work, and (optionally) expose selected values in emails to keep stakeholders aligned. Because everything is stored as standard order meta, developers can extend workflows, build exports, or integrate with ERPs and CRMs using predictable primitives.
