Can you add woocommerce order ID to printed label?

Yes, the order id is contained within the label as the reference number.

We are using another custom order plugin which modifies the order numbers. I see that the reference number prints the default woocommerce id/post id. Is it possible to display/change the value printed in reference number of the generated label?

You can use the plugin filter “pr_shipping_dhl_label_args” to modify the arguments sent to the DHL API to add your custom order number:

args[‘order_details’][‘order_id’] = custom order number

You will need a developer to do this.

Dear Shadi, I’m interested in the same solution. Could you possibly define the exact code of the filter so that I’d only have to set my own variable for the custom order number? This would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Take a look at this code:

It should be similar, you can change the “$args[‘dhl_settings’][‘dhl_label_ref’]” to any number you like and it should show up on the label.

Dear Shadi, you very much for the code snippet. I tried it by adding a fixed value ‘123’ to the variable. But the label keeps on showing the order id. See below how I added the ‘123’. Do you see a mistake? I added the snippet at the very end of my functions.php.

add_filter('pr_shipping_dhl_label_args', 'modify_order_id_to_number', 10, 2);
function modify_order_id_to_number($args, $order_id) {
 	$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
	$args['dhl_settings']['dhl_label_ref'] = '123';
	return $args;
}

Apologies, you should replace:

args[‘dhl_settings’][‘dhl_label_ref’]

with

args[‘order_details’][‘order_id’]

And that should work.

Dear Shadi, thank you very much! It works like a charm now! Also the function you suggested for getting the order number was just the right one.

For everybody else: I used the snippet to get the order number that was given by the plugin German Market. Here is the final code that I used:

add_filter('pr_shipping_dhl_label_args', 'modify_order_id_to_number', 10, 2);
function modify_order_id_to_number($args, $order_id) {
 	$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
	$args['order_details']['order_id'] = $order->get_order_number();
	return $args;
}
