What is Meta Data in WooCommerce?​

Meta data provides extra information about orders and is accessible via the WooCommerce REST API. Developers and plugins use this data to extend functionality, such as integrating third-party services.

JSON View​

  • View the raw JSON representation of the order, useful for debugging or integration purposes.

Save to Server​

  • Allows you to save open carts to the server, so they are securely stored and accessible for future use.

Why save?​

When a new order is created in the POS, it only exists locally. Saving the order ensures it persists, even if the local database is cleared.

Void​

  • Two Scenarios:
    • Unsaved Orders:
      • If the order has not been saved to the server, it will be permanently deleted from the local database.
    • Saved Orders:
      • If the order is saved to the server, it will be moved to the Trash folder in WooCommerce and deleted from the local database.
  • To recover a voided order:
    • Go to WP Admin > WooCommerce > Orders > Trash.

Checkout​

  • Saves the order to the server and initiates the checkout process.
  • Opens the checkout screen to complete the payment.
