Would like to add Multiple Customer Billing Emails at Once

Hi @doctor-web,

Thank you ??

This is a good idea, will try to add it in the next plugin update. Meanwhile, if you are ok with adding a small PHP snippet to your site, you can achieve what you need with:

add_action( 'init', function () {

    // TODO: Set your comma-separated list of user emails (and rule number) here.
    $emails  = '[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]';
    $rule_nr = 1;

    // Converting email addresses to user IDs.
    $users = array();
    foreach ( explode( ',', $emails ) as $email ) {
        if ( $user = get_user_by( 'email', $email ) ) {
            $users[] = ( string ) $user->ID;
        }
    }

    // Updating the option.
    $option = get_option( 'alg_wc_order_status_rules_users', array() );
    $option[ $rule_nr ] = $users;
    update_option( 'alg_wc_order_status_rules_users', $option );

} );

The snippet will automatically set the “Users” option in “WooCommerce > Settings > Order Status Rules > Rule #1”. After the snippet does its job, you can remove it from your site.

Hope this helps. Please let me know what you think.

Hello @algoritmika

I copied and pasted the snippet in my child theme Function file but nothing changed for the “Users” option. I am still not able to enter multiple users at once in that field.

Please test to check. Maybe there is something else that needs to be done for it to work.

@doctor-web,

Hmm… Did you change this line:

$emails  = '[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]';

to the actual emails list?

Oh… I just saw that. It is working fine now. Thank you.

I will also add that you could allow the emails to automatically list in ascending order so that admin can easily find an email that they would like to check or remove. You may even add a search box so that admin would not have to scroll through a long list.

Also is there a way to add users that are not registered to the “Users” option?

Great, happy to hear it’s working ??

Actually, there should be a search box already:

Please let me know if this is not what you see on your site.

I don’t think we can do that, however, I could add a new option – “Billing emails” – you would use it instead of the “Users” option. What do you think?

Hi @doctor-web,

As discussed, we’ve added a new order status rule condition to the plugin (v2.9.0) – Billing emails. Now you can set the rule’s order billing emails as a comma-separated list. And it will work with non-registered users as well.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

P.S. And if you like the plugin, please consider leaving me a rating.

I’m going to mark this thread as “resolved” for now, hope that’s ok. Please let me know if there are still any questions/issues.
