Adding usermeta information during registration in woocommerce

Question

I am working on a woocommerce project and my requirement is that whenever a new user registration occurs there should an account number generated which should be mailed to him so I am trying to use the update_user_meta function but not understanding how to get the User_id for somebody who has not yet registered

Please check my code and advise

add_action('woocommerce_register_form', 'vmart_add_account_number');
function vmart_add_account_number() {
    global $wpdb;
    $userdata = array();
    $user_id = wp_insert_user($userdata);
    $account_number = 1;
    update_user_meta($user_id, 'account_number', $account_number);
    $account_number++;
}

I have also tried this code

add_action('user_register', 'vmart_add_account_number', 10, 1);

function vmart_add_account_number($user_id)
{
    $accountnumber = 1;
    update_user_meta($user_id, 'account_number', $accountnumber);
}

For this thing you can use standard wordpress hook:

// Register subcustomer to same customer

add_action('user_register', 'vmart_add_account_number', 10, 1);

function vmart_add_account_number($user_id)
{
    update_user_meta($user_id, 'account_number', $account_number);
}
