How can I get the order date, in WooCommerce?

Question

I can see inside class-wc-admin-cpt-shop_order.php there are some functions that are pulling together the order information for display in WooCommerce. However, I don't see anywhere where the date can be used ...

Because WooCommerce uses wp_posts to store the data, can I assume that the post_date field is the correct one to use?

Also, anyone know whether there is a function in WooCommerce to get this, or whether there is a way of getting the date to come out in class-wc-admin-cpt-shop_order.php.

Answer 1

// Get $order object from order ID 
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

// Get Order Dates
$order->get_date_created();
$order->get_date_modified();
$order->get_date_completed();
$order->get_date_paid();

Additionally

$order->get_date_created();

Is the "order date", which you can change within WooCommerce ("Edit Order")

Answer 2

Order properties should not be accessed directly. Best way is $order->get_date_completed()

Answer 3

You can use the WC_Order object, if you have the order ID:

$order = new WC_Order($order_id);
$order_date = $order->order_date;
