Including customers first name in emails

    Hi,

    Is there any short code, or a way to include the customers first name in the customer-processing-order.php and customer-completed-order.php emails that WooCommerce sends?

    I found a site that suggested including %s. for first name. But when I added this to customer-processing-order.php as follows –

    <p><?php _e( "Hi %s. Your order has been received and is now being processed. Your order details are shown below for your reference:", 'woocommerce' ); ?></p>

    the output for email is Hi %s. etc.., – so that doesn’t work.

    Is there any way of doing this?

    %s is a replacement used within https://php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php

    You’re not using that here.

    The name is $order->billing_first_name so you could add a sprintf/printf there and insert that string if you wanted.

    Hi Mike,

    Ok, thanks. Would this be the correct syntax if using printf ?

    <p><?php printf ( "Hello $order->billing_first_name", 'woocommerce' ); ?></p>

    My php is not great, so not sure if the ‘woocommerce’ reference needs to be included?

    Thanks Mike, I’ve only just had a chance to try this out. It works great! ??

    Hi Mike,

    I tried this on the thanks for “Thanks for your order” mail, but I can’t get it to show?
    Do I have to call an object? or incude something else?

    Tried more ways, but somehow variables are just not shown in the emails.

    Thanks!

    Hi!
    Thanks for your suggestion. But what about a multilanguage version of Woo? I mean with or without WPML.
    How can I manage it?
