Add meta data to line item order meta

I have also tried the following:

// Save item custom fields label and value as order item meta data
add_action( ‘woocommerce_order_status_processing’, ‘add_order_meta_from_product_meta’, 10, 2 );
function add_order_meta_from_product_meta( $item_id, $item ) {
$product = $item-> get_product();
$start = $product->get_meta(‘WooCommerceEventsDate’);

if( ! empty($start) ) {
$order->update_meta_data( ‘WooCommerceEventsDate’, $start );
$order->save();
}
}

Hi @hugopve,

I’m going to leave this thread open since it’s a fairly complex topic.

I can also recommend the following places for more development-oriented questions:

• WooCommerce Slack Community
• WooCommerce FB group

I hope this helps!`

Hey @hugopve,

You’re probably going to want to use this hook for adding the order item metadata.

woocommerce_add_order_item_meta

The item metadata is stored separately from the order metadata. It has its own table in the WordPress database to keep it organized. Here are a few resources that may be able to help you out with this too:
