/**

 */
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'my_custom_checkout_field_update_order_meta' );

function my_custom_checkout_field_update_order_meta( $order ) {
    if ( ! empty( $_POST['my_field_name'] ) ) {
        $order->update_meta_data( '_my_field', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['my_field_name'] ) );
