    Hello, thank you very much for your help. I am using the Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce plugin
    and I have added an extra fields with the name billing_cif. The field picks it up perfectly. Now I am trying to show the collected data to show it in the invoices with the Invoices for WooCommerce plugin (Bas Elbers) but I can’t do it. In their FAQ they put this information:

    How to add custom fields / meta-data to the PDF invoice template?
    Use below code to display meta-data. Replace {META_KEY} with the actual key. If you use another plugin, just ask the key from the author of that plugin.

    <? php echo BEWPI () -> templater () -> get_meta ('{META_KEY}'); ?>
    Important: A custom template is required to add a custom field to the PDF invoice.

    I have tried to put it and it gives an error. I have replaced META_KEY with the name of the billing_cif field but it doesn’t work. Can you help me? I am not an expert user in programming.

    When you create a custom field named billing_cif in the checkout field editor plugin, the plugin will save the submitted field value with the key name as billing_cif. So inorder to display billing_cif value in the invoice template, you need to add the below code.

    <?php echo BEWPI()->templater()->get_meta( 'billing_cif' ); ?>

    Hope this will help.

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much for your answer.
    I have tried the code and it does not work.
    I get an error when trying to generate the PDF. I don’t know if the code is only usable with the pro plugin, I’m using the free plugin, but according to the indications it should work.

    All the fields created using our plugin are saved as Order Meta Data.

    You can retrieve the data from the database using the below function:

    get_post_meta($order_id, 'field_name', true);
