<p>Let’s say that you’re using WooCommerce to book helicopter tours, and you need a way to assign times, pilots, or other details to an order. <strong>Admin Custom Order Fields</strong> allows you to add these details from the Orders Dashboard, and even optionally display them to the customer on the “My Orders” page.</p>
<p>Using WooCommerce to sell other services? You can add dates for coaching sessions, assign multiple case managers to a consulting account, or manage any other order details you wish. Stop jotting down everything in the order notes and start to organize and compartmentalize with Admin Custom Order Fields!</p>
<h3>What Can Admin Custom Order Fields Do?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create order details to add/edit from the admin Orders Dashboard</li>
<li>Centralize order details that can easily be edited by all team members</li>
<li>Sort or filter orders displayed based on your custom order fields</li>
<li>Optionally display order fields/details to customers</li>
<li>Eliminate the need for spreadsheets or other external systems to manage order notes/details</li>
<li>Streamline your CRM system by centralizing everything in WooCommerce</li>
</ul>
<h3>Make Your Order Management Efficient</h3>
<p>If you’ve been using order notes to add order details, or even worse, been using an outside system to track order details, you know that it’s a pain to keep all of this information updated, <em>especially</em> if it needs to be shared between team members (don’t worry, we know how it’s tough to use Google Docs for all of this!).</p>
<p>Adding all of these details as order fields will simplify record-keeping so that all details are managed right within WooCommerce and visible to all team members. By default, all admin order fields are <strong>hidden from customers</strong>. Even better, you can <strong>sort or filter orders based on these fields</strong>.</p>

Set the order field attribute to “Show in My Orders/Email”, and customers will be able to view that field with the rest of their order details.</p>
