How to save form fields in Order details

  • Hi,

    I am looking to insert a repeatable field in woocommerce checkout form and display them in order details page.
    I have created repeatable fields in ACF and created a form using ACF extended.
    I added below code in functions.php to display in checkout

    
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_order_notes', 'checkout_exta_fields' );
function checkout_exta_fields( $checkout ) {
    echo '<div><h2>' . __('Details') . '</h2>';
	acfe_form('travellerdetails');
    echo '</div>';
}

    Form is getting displayed in checkout page but the data is not getting saved anywhere. Also, when i click place order button, i get a browser popup which says your data might not be saved.
    How do i save this data to Order details page in admin. If possible in email also.

    I used these options in ACF extended form.
    Form element – NO
    Submit button – NO
    Honeypot – NO
    Kses – Yes
    Action -> Post Action -> Update post


    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Unfortunately ACF & ACF Extended don’t allow you to use ACF Custom Fields in WooCommerce (orders, checkout etc…) out of the box.

    There are some tricks & hacks that exist on the web to help you achieve such a thing with ACF.

    Here is a topic of a user that investigated this area a little bit, you might find useful information: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/acf-integration-with-woocommerce-for-oders/

    It looks like you’ll have to handle the saving process manually using the woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta hook and retrieve field values inside the $_POST['acf'] dataset.

    Regarding the “browser popup which says your data might not be saved.” this is a native feature of ACF Form and ACFE Form. When a user change some fields inside the form but then leave the form without using the native form save button, a popup is displayed. You can disable that feature in your Form UI > Validation > Disable “Hide confirmation on exit”.

    Note that I cannot provide further assistance on this topic. I planned to add a compatibility bridge between ACF Extended & Woocommerce in the future. I don’t have any ETA yet tho.

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
