I need to send cancelled and failed order email to customers in Woocommerce 3.4+.
I'm constantly getting Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_billing_email() on null in
I've tried few function (like below) from stackoverflow with same result:
function wc_cancelled_order_add_customer_email( $recipient, $order )
{
return $recipient .= "," . $order->get_billing_email();
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_cancelled_order', 'wc_cancelled_order_add_customer_email', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_failed_order', 'wc_cancelled_order_add_customer_email', 10, 2 );
What is wrong? How can I avoid this error?
I have found a very nice approach:
First, extend the woocommerce default emails by adding a filter to woocommerce_email_classes:
add_filter('woocommerce_email_classes', function ($classes) {
$classes['WC_Email_Customer_Order_Failed'] = include __DIR__ . "/wc-emails/class-wc-customer-order-failed.php";
// you can add as many classes as you want here
return $classes;
});
Then, we create the ./wc-emails/class-wc-customer-order-failed.php file. I recommend starting with one of the original WC_Email classes, located under /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/emails/class-wc-email-{$email-name}.php. Make sure you rename the class after you do it. As the time of this writing I'm using Woocommerce 5.3.0, and the class-wc-customer-order-failed.php should look like this:
<?php
if (!defined('ABSPATH')) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}
if (!class_exists('WC_Email_Customer_Order_Failed', false)) {

In occasion of Woocommerce update, you should check if the customised files have been updated, and its up to you to keep compatibility :)
