Replace order currency when creating a manual order in Woocommerce admin

Question

In WooCommerce, when creating and saving a manual order via Admin, I am trying to replace the order currency value with a custom meta data value (which meta key is _wcj_order_currency)

Here are 2 screenshots of the related meta data (key/value pairs):

The order currency:
The custom currency (from Booster plugin):

So I would like to replace the order currency EUR to the custom currency USD from _order_currency meta key on save.

References I used:

My code attempt:

// Saving (Updating) or doing an action when submitting
add_action( 'save_post', 'update_order_custom_field_value' );
function update_order_custom_field_value( $post_id ){

    // Only for shop order
 //    if ( 'shop_order' != $_POST[ 'post_type' ] ) 
    if ( 'shop_order')
        return $post_id;

    // Checking that is not an autosave
    if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE )
        return $post_id;

    // Check the user’s permissions (for 'shop_manager' and 'administrator' user roles)
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_shop_order', $post_id ) )
        return $post_id;

//Up to above is fine for Admin order

    // Updating custom field data
    if( isset( $_POST['_wcj_order_currency'] ) ) {
        $order = wc_get_order( $post_id );

        // Replacing and updating the value
        update_post_meta( $post_id, '_order_currency', $_POST['_wcj_order_currency'] );
}}

// Testing output in order edit pages (below billing address):
//This displays the existing values well
add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_billing_address', 'display_order_custom_field_value' );
function display_order_custom_field_value( $order ){
    echo '<p><strong>'.__('Order Currency').':</strong> <br/>' . get_post_meta( $order->get_id(), '_order_currency', true ) . '</p>';
    echo '<p><strong>'.__('Booster Order Currency').':</strong> <br/>' . get_post_meta( $order->get_id(), '_wcj_order_currency', true ) . '</p>';
}

Testing output in order edit pages (below billing address). The code works well.

But I am unable to make it work and update the order currency on order creation.

Any help on this is welcome.

To make your script work on new order creation only, try the following revisited code (commented):

// Save order data
add_action( 'save_post_shop_order', 'update_order_currency_on_creation', 1000 );
function update_order_currency_on_creation( $order_id ){
    // Ensure that this is a manual new order 
    if( $created = get_post_meta( $order_id, '_created_via', true ) ) {
        return $order_id;
    }

    // Checking that is not an autosave  (not sure that this is really needed on Woocommerce orders)
    if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
        return $order_id;
    }

    // Check the user’s permissions (for 'shop_manager' and 'administrator' user roles)
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_shop_order', $order_id ) ) {
        return $order_id;
    }

    ## ---- Updating order currency ---- ##

    // Get the WC_Order object
    $order    = wc_get_order($order_id); 

    // HERE below the Booster meta key for Order currency
    $meta_key = '_wcj_order_currency';

    // If Booster currency is already in database (in case of, to be sure)
    if ( $value = $order->get_meta($meta_key) ) {
        $order->set_currency( esc_attr($value) );
        $order->save(); // Save order data
    }
    // If not, we get the posted Booster currency value (else)
    elseif ( isset($_POST[$meta_key]) && ( $value = esc_attr($_POST[$meta_key]) ) ) {
        $order->set_currency( esc_attr($_POST[$meta_key]) );
        $order->save(); // Save order data
    }
}


// Testing output in order edit pages (below billing address): This displays the existing values as well.
add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_billing_address', 'display_specific_order_details' );
function display_specific_order_details( $order ){
    echo '<div><p><strong>'.__('Order Currency').':</strong> ' . $order->get_currency() . '</p>
    <p><strong>'.__('Booster Order Currency').':</strong> ' . $order->get_meta( '_wcj_order_currency' ) . '</p></div>';
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
