Explanation

If you want to add extra details to your WooCommerce shipping confirmation emails, this code snippet is just what you need. It helps you include custom information like pickup details or additional notes in the emails sent to your customers.

Here's how it works:

Custom Fields: The code hooks into WooCommerce's email system to add custom fields. It checks for specific information stored with each order, like pickup details or additional notes, and includes them in the email if available.
Pickup Details: If your order has pickup details saved, these will be added to the email under a section labeled "Pickup Details."
Additional Notes: Similarly, any extra notes associated with the order will appear under "Additional Notes."

Technical Bits:

The code uses a filter to modify the email content, ensuring your custom fields are included.
It also tweaks the email classes to make sure these fields are part of the shipping confirmation email template.

With this setup, your customers will receive more informative emails, enhancing their shopping experience by providing all the necessary details right in their inbox.

Code
<?php
// Hook into WooCommerce email order meta to add custom fields to the shipping confirmation email
add_filter('woocommerce_email_order_meta_fields', 'wp_dudecom_add_custom_fields_to_shipping_email', 10, 3);

/**
 * Add custom fields to the WooCommerce shipping confirmation email.
 *
 * @param array $fields Existing fields in the email.
 * @param WC_Order $sent_to_admin Whether the email is sent to admin.
 * @param WC_Order $order The order object.
 * @return array Modified fields with additional information.
 */
function wp_dudecom_add_custom_fields_to_shipping_email($fields, $sent_to_admin, $order) {
    // Check if the order is valid
    if (!$order instanceof WC_Order) {
        return $fields;
    }

    // Add custom field for pickup details
    $pickup_details = get_post_meta($order->get_id(), '_pickup_details', true);
    if (!empty($pickup_details)) {
        $fields['pickup_details'] = array(
            'label' => __('Pickup Details', 'woocommerce'),
            'value' => wp_kses_post($pickup_details),
        );
    }

    // Add custom field for additional notes
    $additional_notes = get_post_meta($order->get_id(), '_additional_notes', true);
    if (!empty($additional_notes)) {
        $fields['additional_notes'] = array(
            'label' => __('Additional Notes', 'woocommerce'),
            'value' => wp_kses_post($additional_notes),
        );
    }

    return $fields;
}

// Hook into WooCommerce email classes to ensure custom fields are included
add_filter('woocommerce_email_classes', 'wp_dudecom_customize_woocommerce_emails');

/**
 * Customize WooCommerce email classes to include custom fields.
 *
 * @param array $email_classes Existing email classes.

    // Ensure the custom fields are included in the customer shipping confirmation email
    if (isset($email_classes['WC_Email_Customer_Shipped_Order'])) {
        $email_classes['WC_Email_Customer_Shipped_Order']->template_base = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/woocommerce/emails/';
    }

    return $email_classes;
}
