WooCommerce Bookings: Create a Booking Order programmatically

I have been trying this for a couple of hours now, with different code & reading every doc on booking I can find - but I seem to be unable to figure out how exactly I do this.

My biggest inspiration comes from the WooCommerce Booking Doc, but this just adds a follow-up booking to an existing order. But how do I go about doing it from scratch?

I tried the following, but cant really get it to work.

  1. I generate a new order with: 

    $address = array(
    'first_name' => 'TestFirst',
    'last_name'  => 'TestLast',
    'company'    => 'Overflow',
    'email'      => '[email protected]',
    'phone'      => '777-777-777-777',
    'address_1'  => '35 Main Street',
    'address_2'  => '', 
    'city'       => 'Net York',
    'state'      => 'NY',
    'postcode'   => '2323',
    'country'    => 'US'

$order = wc_create_order();
$order->set_address( $address, 'billing' );
$order->set_address( $address, 'shipping' );

  2. I create a booking by 

    $new_booking_data = array(
        'start_date'  => strtotime( '+1 week', $prev_booking->start ), // same time, 1 week on
        'end_date'    => strtotime( '+1 week', $prev_booking->end ), // same time, 1 week on
        'resource_id' => $prev_booking->resource_id, // same resource
        'parent_id'   => $booking_id
)
create_wc_booking( $product_id, $new_booking_data = array(), $status =     'confirmed', $exact = false )

  3. And here I'm stuck, what do I have to do now? I figure I have to connect the booking ID with the order from 1. - but I'm not really sure how.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Solution

  • In your code you are defining this array first (with a missing ; at the end of the array).

    Then instead of using $new_booking_data defined variable simply in your function create_wc_booking(), you are assigning to it an empty array, that NULLs the code above. So you have to set it just like this:

    // Defined array variable
$new_booking_data = array(
        'start_date'  => strtotime( '+1 week', $prev_booking->start ), // same time, 1 week on
        'end_date'    => strtotime( '+1 week', $prev_booking->end ), // same time, 1 week on
        'resource_id' => $prev_booking->resource_id, // same resource
        'parent_id'   => $booking_id
); // <= Missing ";" HERE

// Define this variables outside your function
$status = 'confirmed';
$exact = false;

// Now you just put your variables simply like this
create_wc_booking( $product_id, $new_booking_data, $status, $exact );

    Or you can put the values too, this way:

    create_wc_booking( $product_id, $new_booking_data, 'confirmed', false );

    This should better work now… I hope.
