Add custom email field and send the order details to that email after checkout

  • Hi,

    I added a custom email field to the shipping form like this

    // Hook in
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_override_checkout_fields');
function custom_override_checkout_fields($fields) {
  $fields['shipping']['shipping_email'] = array(
        'type' => 'email',
        'label'     => __('E-mail Address', 'woocommerce'),
        'placeholder'   => _x('Type here...', 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
        'required'  => true,
        'class'     => array('form-row-wide validate-email'),
        'clear'     => true
    );
   return $fields;
}

    And now wanna add this email field value to the order so what email user will type here in this field he/she will receive the Order details to this email.

    How i can do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Core has code to send to billing email embedded inside – why would you need to collect 2 emails during checkout. Sounds unnecessary?

    Cause per my design I don’t have Billing info, form.

    Am displaying Only the Shipping form and that’s why i added the email field and need to send an email to user depending on that field.

    Is that possible to add?

    Am i doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    All emails will go to the Billing Email by default. It would be better to hide the Shipping Address when checking out and renaming the Billing info to Shipping everywhere using filters or a plugin like Say What.

    Did the use of the Say What plugin work for this? How did you accomplish it?

    I need to figure out the same thing as OP. My scenario is that I have a group of representatives that put in orders for their customers. They log in the same account but all of their order history will have different customers associated with each of them. The customer’s info gets put into the billing and shipping filed, but the order needs to go the representative who also needs to receive the e-mail. The easiest way, from a user and maintainability for the client, is to have a field that receives the message once submitted.

    I have used poor guys swiss army knife plugin to add a new e-mail filed, but it does not send out the message to that filed.

    thank you

    Were you able to find a solution based on Jesse’s advice?

    I’m not sure how you would tackle that in that case. I believe someone warned you this may be a problem and suggested translation instead?

    We cannot code this for you – we’ve given links to the API docs and shown what functions are available, and I know you’ve submitted several of these types of threads before. If you need more in depth help you should look into the job board or wooexperts for someone with more experience customising core classes, who can also advise if what you’re doing is not possible.

    Good luck with your customisation.
