Replace woocommerce order number with invoice number

Hi,

How Xero communicates with WooCommerce? Which third party plugin are you using to integrate both?

Thanks for the reply,

Im using the Xero from woocommerce (https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/xero/)

i found this from an old thread

add_filter('woocommerce_xero_invoice_invoice_number','wpo_wcpdf_xero_invoice_number',10,2);
function wpo_wcpdf_xero_invoice_number( $invoice_number, $xero_invoice ) {
	if ( !empty( $xero_invoice->order ) && $pdf_invoice = wcpdf_get_invoice( $xero_invoice->order, true ) ) {
		if ( $pdf_invoice_number = $pdf_invoice->get_number() ) {
			$invoice_number = $pdf_invoice_number->get_formatted();
		}
	}
	return $invoice_number;
}

But it didn’t work for me.

All it needs to do is replace the woocommerce default order number to the invoice number and it should work.

Hi @completegraphics,

Please try this code snippet instead:

add_filter('woocommerce_xero_invoice_invoice_number','wpo_wcpdf_xero_invoice_number',10,2);
function wpo_wcpdf_xero_invoice_number( $invoice_number, $xero_invoice ) {
	$order = $xero_invoice->get_order();
	if ( !empty( $order ) && $pdf_invoice = wcpdf_get_invoice( $order, true ) ) {
		if ( $pdf_invoice_number = $pdf_invoice->get_number() ) {
			$invoice_number = $pdf_invoice_number->get_formatted();
		}
	}
	return $invoice_number;
}

If you haven’t worked with code snippets (actions/filters) or functions.php before, read this guide: How to use filters

Note that we can’t test it ourselves, as we don’t have this plugin to do it, so my recommendation is that you try it on a test site first. If you need more help with this, we can offer it as part of our premium support. If this is the case, please write to us at [email protected].
