votes

I the cart i dynamically create some meta data for each item from a function located in functions.php.

IN CHECKOUT, I would like to save each meta data for each item of the current order.

In this way, once order completed, i would need to display these data in woo commerce admin and woocommerce email.

Basically, i need to save $date_start,$duration,$end_date when the order is completed and receive this data in woocomerce admin and emails.

    function get_infos_order ($date_start,$duration){


$end_date          = strtotime('+ '.$duration, $date_start); 



}

Could someone please give some advices how to do that please ?

Thanks a lot.

Muhammad Muazzam solution is OK, but woocommerce_add_order_item_meta is deprecated, you have to use wc_add_order_item_meta 

function add_order_item_meta($item_id, $values) {
    $key = ''; // Define your key here
    $value = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'key_name'); // Safer retrieval
    wc_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, $meta_key, $meta_value);
}
add_action('woocommerce_add_order_item_meta', 'add_order_item_meta', 10, 2);

Save them using this function:

function add_order_item_meta($item_id, $values) {
    $key = ''; // Define your key here
    $value = $_POST['key_name']; // Get your value here
    woocommerce_add_order_item_meta($item_id, $key, $value);
}
add_action('woocommerce_add_order_item_meta', 'add_order_item_meta', 10, 2);
