If you’ve ever needed to update your WooCommerce cart meta data, you know it can be a bit tricky. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to update your WooCommerce cart meta data, it is important to note that this process can be quite complex. There are a number of different ways to update cart meta data, and it is important to choose the right method for your particular needs. Failure to do so could result in lost data or even damage to your site.

1. First, you’ll need to add the following code to your functions.php file:

function my_custom_cart_data( $cart ) {
  if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
return;
   foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $key => $item ) {
     $item['my_custom_data'] = 'Hello World';
   }
   return $item;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_item_data', 'my_custom_cart_data', 10, 2 );

2. Next, you’ll need to add the following code to your cart-totals.php file:

foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $key => $item ) {
  $item['my_custom_data'] = 'Hello World';
}
  return $item;
}

3. Finally, you’ll need to add the following code to your checkout.php file:

foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $key => $item ) {
  $item['my_custom_data'] = 'Hello World';
}
  return $item;
}
  $checkout = new WC_Checkout();
  $checkout->process();
