I would like to add few input fields for the orders in WooCommerce/Wordpress. The fields will be only visible on the admin page. How to do that? Is it same like the pages/posts?
For the post types above I used add_post_meta. Is it the best way for that, or is there any hook for order fields?

Because you're asking specifically about WooCommerce, I'd like to expand on brasofilo's accepted answer by showing how you'd get the relevant WooCommerce order object (WC_Order) for the page the meta box is on.
Here's how you'd display the billing email from the order:
add_action('add_meta_boxes', function() {
add_meta_box('woocommerce-order-meta-24179529',
__( 'My Meta Box Title' ),
function() {
global $post;
// wc_get_order() returns one of bool|WC_Order|WC_Order_Refund
$order = wc_get_order($post->ID);
if($order instanceof WC_Order) {
echo "Billing email: ";
echo $order->get_billing_email();
}
},
'shop_order',
'side',
'default'
);
});

Yes, just add_meta_box()
to the post type shop_order
and proceed as normal.
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'add_meta_boxes' );
function add_meta_boxes()
{
add_meta_box(
'woocommerce-order-my-custom',
__( 'Order Custom' ),
'order_my_custom',
'shop_order',
'side',
'default'
);
}
function order_my_custom()
{
echo '<h1>Sample meta box</h1>';
}
