  I am currently working on a WooCommerce project and encountering an issue with retrieving a specific meta key value for orders. I have a function (Myplugin_admin_order_details) hooked to the woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_order_details action, and I’m attempting to retrieve the value of the _stripe_currency meta key for a given order.

  Here is the relevant code snippet:

  add_action( ‘woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_order_details’, ‘Myplugin_admin_order_details’, 10, 3 );

  function Myplugin_admin_order_details( $order ) {
  $order_id = $order->get_id();

  echo "<pre>"; 
  
  // This line prints all meta data, including 'my_custom_key'
  print_r( $order->get_meta_data() );
  
  // However, this line does not return any value for 'my_custom_key'
  echo get_post_meta( $order_id, "my_custom_key", true );

  }

  While $order->get_meta_data() correctly displays all meta data, the get_post_meta function does not return any value for the my_custom_key meta key, even though I am certain that the key exists for the order.

  why this might be happening and how I can successfully retrieve the value of the my_custom_key meta key.

  Hi there!

  Since your question is specific to the WooCommerce plugin, I recommend posting it on the WooCommerce support forum, as we can only help with WordPress.com sites here.

  Thanks!

  I have saved both meta keys, but I am unable to retrieve the values for either of the meta keys.
