Hello, I am struggling to get this to work. I am trying to get a shipping contact telephone number to show as the last row of the shipping address in the order confirmation emails.

I have added a custom field called 'shipping_phone' using this in functions.php:
// Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['shipping']['shipping_phone'] = array(
'label' => __('Phone', 'woocommerce'),
'placeholder' => _x('Phone', 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
'required' => false,
'class' => array('form-row-wide'),
'clear' => true
);

 return $fields;

}

/**

• Display field value on the order edit page
  */

add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_shipping_address', 'my_custom_checkout_field_display_admin_order_meta', 10, 1 );

function my_custom_checkout_field_display_admin_order_meta($order){
echo '

'.__('Phone From Checkout Form').': ' . get_post_meta( $order->id, '_shipping_phone', true ) . '

';
}

When I then try to use the code above by changing 'Tracking Code' for 'shipping_phone' it isn't showing in the confirmation emails.

add_filter('woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys', 'my_custom_order_meta_keys');

function my_custom_order_meta_keys( $keys ) {
$keys[] = 'shipping_phone'; // This will look for a custom field called 'Tracking Code' and add it to emails
return $keys;
}

Looking at the source code for "woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys", this is what I found. So we rather not use it anymore since it is deprecated.

/**
* Deprecated woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys filter.
*
* @SInCE 2.3.0
*/
$_fields = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys', array(), $sent_to_admin );

Hi guys,
can you share the right code to use?

Is not really clear for me.

Thanks.

Full code for adding custom field by product ID, then displaying field value on the order edit page, and then adding to the emails.
