php - Create an order programmatically with line items in Woocommerce 3+

Question

I needed to create a Woocommerce order programatically, however using the 'old' Woocommerce made this a very dirty procedure.

I had to insert all kind of database records manually, using many update_post_meta calls.

Looking for a better solution.

With latest version of WooCommerce is possible try this as something like

$address = array(
            'first_name' => 'Fresher',
            'last_name'  => 'StAcK OvErFloW',
            'company'    => 'stackoverflow',
            'email'      => 'test@test.com',
            'phone'      => '777-777-777-777',
            'address_1'  => '31 Main Street',
            'address_2'  => '', 
            'city'       => 'Chennai',
            'state'      => 'TN',
            'postcode'   => '12345',
            'country'    => 'IN'
        );

        $order = wc_create_order();
        $order->add_product( get_product( '12' ), 2 ); //(get_product with id and next is for quantity)
        $order->set_address( $address, 'billing' );
        $order->set_address( $address, 'shipping' );
        $order->add_coupon('Fresher','10','2'); // accepted param $couponcode, $couponamount,$coupon_tax
        $order->calculate_totals();

Call this above code with your function then it will work accordingly.

Note it not work with old version of WooCommerce like 2.1.12, It works only from 2.2 of WooCommerce.

Hope it helps
