I’m having some trouble trying to display the field I have created in the checkout page of woocommerce and i’m not very knowledgeable in PHP. I have created a field called sessions registered it as a product post type. Once a user purchase a product I want the custom field(sessions) to also be displayed.

Here is the template of the view-order of woocommerce.

<?php
/**
 * Order Item Details
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/order/order-details-item.php.
 *
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
}

if ( ! apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_visible', true, $item ) ) {
	return;
}
?>
<tr class="<?php echo esc_attr( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_class', 'order_item', $item, $order ) ); ?>">
	<td class="product-name">

		<?php
			$is_visible = $product && $product->is_visible();

			echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_name', $is_visible ? sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_permalink( $item['product_id'] ), $item['name'] ) : $item['name'], $item, $is_visible );
			echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_quantity_html', ' <strong class="product-quantity">' . sprintf( '&times; %s', $item['qty'] ) . '</strong>', $item );

			do_action( 'woocommerce_order_item_meta_start', $item_id, $item, $order );

			$order->display_item_meta( $item );
			$order->display_item_downloads( $item );

			do_action( 'woocommerce_order_item_meta_end', $item_id, $item, $order );
		?>
	</td>
	<td class="product-total">
		<?php echo $order->get_formatted_line_subtotal( $item ); ?>
	</td>
</tr>
<?php if ( $show_purchase_note && $purchase_note ) : ?>
<tr class="product-purchase-note">
	<td colspan="3"><?php echo wpautop( do_shortcode( wp_kses_post( $purchase_note ) ) ); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>

I have no idea or understanding where I would insert the_field(sessions) to display it on the checkout

Hi @clestcruz

You need to provide the ID of the product as the second parameter for the the_field() function because you called it outside The Loop. I believe you can do it like this:

`the_field(‘sessions’, $product->ID);
$order->display_item_meta( $item );’

I hope this helps 🙂

I am trying to add a new field in the checkout page but I am having an error. I am having this line as error

if (!$_POST[‘customised_field_name’]) wc_add_notice(__(‘Please enter value.’) , ‘error’);

I have completely checked the code but still, I am having an error. I have followed the WooCommerce checkout page tutorial and implement the same as discussed in the article. Can you help me to resolve this issue?
