php - WooCommerce hook for order creation from admin

Question

In my custom plugin (working in WooCommerce 2.6.x and 3.x), I need to get the order ID when a new order is created. I tried different hooks but they work only when the customer creates an order and not when an order is created from admin.

I tried:

• woocommerce_new_order
• woocommerce_thankyou
• woocommerce_checkout_order_processed
• woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta

Update

Finally I used this:

add_action('wp_insert_post', function($order_id)
{
    if(!did_action('woocommerce_checkout_order_processed') 
        && get_post_type($order_id) == 'shop_order'
        && validate_order($order_id))
    {
         order_action($order_id);
    }
});

where validate_order is:

function validate_order($order_id)
{
    $order = new WC_Order($order_id);
    $user_meta = get_user_meta($order->get_user_id());
    if($user_meta)
        return true;
    return false;
}

Thanks to validate_order the action isn't executed when you start to create the order. I use !did_action('woocommerce_checkout_order_processed') because I don't want that the action is executed if the order is created by a customer (I have a specific action for that, using woocommerce_checkout_order_processed).

Answer 1

woocommerce_new_order hook is called after order creation:

add_action('woocommerce_new_order', function ($order_id) {
    // ...
}, 10, 1);
