Custom Fields on Orders

Custom fields let you store additional information on orders that WooCommerce does not have built-in fields for. They can be set manually or automatically via automation rules.

Creating custom fields

Go to Settings > Custom Fields and click Add Field. Configure:

• Name -- Display name (e.g., "Priority Level")
• Type -- Text, Number, Select (dropdown), Yes/No, or Date
• Options -- For Select type, define the dropdown options
• Required -- Whether the field must have a value

Setting values

On the order detail page, custom fields appear in a dedicated section. Set values manually or via automation.

Use cases

• Priority level (High / Normal / Low) -- set via automation based on order total
• Warehouse zone assignment
• Approval status for B2B orders alongside order holds
• Special handling instructions
