Updating Google Sheet with WooCommerce Order - google-apps-script

Question

I need to be able to automatically update a google sheet file every time an order is placed through WooCommerce.
I've found the solution below, but using this each individual item ordered is listed as a new row. I'd like the order to be grouped under the order number and the item quantities separated into appropriate columns instead.

Below is a Google Sheet we are manually updating at present to show you what i mean.
Example
Is there a way to send the WooCommerce orders directly through to Google Sheets in this format?
Thanks so much in advance for any advice!

Answer 1

Yes it looks possible.
I know nothing about WooCommerce, but I believe you can sort out the received data in any way you want.
Look, the last line in their script appends the received data as a new row:
sheet.appendRow([timestamp,order_number,order_created,order_status]);
As far as I can see, the data contains the four elements:
timestamp
order_number
order_created
orders_status
Instead, you can put these elements into any cell on your table. Something like this, for example:
var ss = Spreadsheet.GetActiveSheet();
ss.getRange('A10').setValue(timestamp); // timestamp goes to A10
ss.getRange('B20').setValue(order_number); // order_number goes to B20
ss.getRange('C30').setValue(order_created + order_status); // created + status go to C30
The same way you can add any of these elements to some existing value in some cell, etc. For example:
var old_value = ss.getRange('A2').getValue(); // get value from the cell A2
var new_value = old_value + order_number; // add with order_number
ss.getRange('A2').setValue(new_value); // put the sum back into the cell A2
The main problem is up to you. You have to figure out:
what exactly the elements you're receiving (number, names)
how exactly you want to sort them out (what to add to what... what to put where... etc)
I can't understand it from the example picture.
Here is some reference documentation on Apps Script:
Main Page - Introducing Apps Script.
Sheets Guide - Introduction to Sheets with Apps Script.
Sheets Reference - Where you will find all the details of everything you can do with Sheets in Apps Script.
Remove Duplicate Rows - A good small tutorial that will teach you the basics of Sheets and Ranges and how to manipulate them.

Answer 2

To export all my WooCommerce orders on a scheduled basis, I used a ready-made solution.
I used a WooCommerce API and JSON client. It worked smoothly: I got the WooCommerce API, and the JSON client was implemented in the tool already.
You just need to choose endpoint in the JSON client to get the required data. I exported all orders once a month, so I used the base URL http:// mydomain /wp-json/wc/v3/orders and my endpoint was orders.
You can check this article to understand better how it works for your purpose.
And here is WooCommerce API documentation.
I assume that setting up an export through the Apps Script is more flexible (and based on the answer above, it's working indeed), but I'm not a code guy. So I searched for an easier solution, and the API + JSON client helped.
Hope you'll find it helpful.
