Automatically Send Customer Invoice When WooCommerce Order is Completed

When running an eCommerce store, ensuring that your customers receive timely communication regarding their orders is crucial. One important email is the Customer Invoice which provides customers with the details of their purchases. But what happens if this email isn't sent automatically upon order completion? This is a challenge many WooCommerce users face. In today’s post, we’ll explore how to automatically send the Customer Invoice or Order Details email to your customers once their order status changes to completed.

The Problem

In many WooCommerce setups, it may not be clear how to automate the sending of the Invoice email when an order status changes to completed. A question from the community echoes this frustration, and finding effective solutions online can sometimes feel overwhelming.

So, how do we ensure that the Customer Invoice is sent out automatically upon order completion? Thankfully, WooCommerce provides hooks that we can utilize to implement this functionality seamlessly.

The Solution

To automatically send the Customer Invoice email, you can use the woocommerce_order_status_completed hook along with the WC_Email_Customer_Invoice class. Let’s break down the solution into manageable steps:

Step 1: Add the Custom Functionality

You will need to add a custom function to your WordPress theme's functions.php file. This file contains customization options for your WooCommerce store. Here’s the code snippet you'll need to add:

Step 2: Understand the Code

Let’s decode what this code does:

add_action(): This WordPress function hooks our custom function into WooCommerce. It listens for the event when an order's status changes to "completed".

woocommerce_order_status_completed: This is the hook that triggers our custom action.

mysite_woocommerce_order_status_completed: This is the custom function we created to handle the order completed event.

$order_id: This parameter receives the ID of the completed order so we can use it to pull the correct invoice details.

WC()- mailer()- emails['WC_Email_Customer_Invoice']: This calls the WooCommerce mailer specifically for the Customer Invoice email.

trigger($order_id): Finally, this method sends the invoice email to the customer associated with the order ID.

Step 3: Testing

After adding the code, it’s essential to test that the functionality works as intended. Here are a few simple steps to test:

Place a Test Order: Go through the checkout process on your website as a customer.

Complete the Order: Change the status of the created order to "completed" through the WooCommerce backend.

Check Your Email: Ensure that the Customer Invoice is sent to the email address provided during checkout.

Conclusion

By following the simple instructions outlined above, you can automate the sending of the Customer Invoice/Order Details email to your customers when their order status switches to completed. This not only enhances your customer experience but also streamlines your operation as a store owner.
