– Show Custom Forms data in order details
you collected custom-form data from buyers at checkout (dietary requirements, t-shirt size, special needs, sponsor questions) and want to see those responses directly in the order details screen in the WordPress admin — without having to drill into each attendee record one-by-one.
The current best path
The most up-to-date solution for this lives in our dedicated guide: Content management for table of purchased tickets. That recipe extends the WooCommerce order details template to include attendee custom-form responses inline, alongside the standard line items.
What it does
After applying the recipe:
- Open any order in WooCommerce → Orders (or Tickera → Orders if running standalone).
- Each ticket line item shows the attendee’s name and below it the custom-form fields they filled in.
- No more clicking into individual attendees to read dietary or other event-specific info.
- Print/PDF export of the order details includes custom-form data too — useful for staff briefings.
Why this matters operationally
For events with operational dependencies on attendee details — catering counts by dietary, t-shirt sizes for printing, accessibility needs for room assignment, sponsor questions for follow-up — having the data visible at order-detail level saves hours when you’re prepping the event.
Bulk-export alternative
For exporting all custom-form responses across an event to a spreadsheet (rather than viewing them one order at a time), use the CSV Export add-on — it includes custom-form fields as columns automatically.
