php - What hook to be used for cancelled booking in WooCommerce Bookings?

Solution:

Updated:

The correct hook to be used iswoocommerce_booking_cancelled (a composite hook) that will allow you to retrieve the user ID and to Add/update custom user meta data like below:

add_action('woocommerce_booking_cancelled', 'booking_cancelled_transition_to_callback', 10, 2 );
function booking_cancelled_transition_to_callback( $booking_id, $booking ) {
    // Get the user ID from the Booking ID
    $user_id = get_post_field ('post_author', $booking_id);
    
    $download_credits = get_post_meta( $booking_id, '_booking_cost', true );
    
    // Add/Update custom user meta data
    update_user_meta( $user_id, 'download_credits', $download_credits );
}
Copy code

Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Tested and works.

How to get the booking data (from the booking ID displayed in the order):

• Go to your database underwp_postmeta table to get the desiredmeta_key from thepost_id (that is the booking ID)

• Use that meta key inget_post_meta() WordPress function like:

   $meta_value = get_post_meta($booking_id, 'the_meta_key', true); 
  Copy code

Notes:

• An SQL query is not needed to add/update custom user meta data, as you can use instead the dedicated Wordpress function .

• I couldn't make it work usingwoocommerce_bookings_cancelled_booking hook.
