Hook for custom price in Woocommerce order

I am currently developing a webshop where i needed to do a separate price function. So far, with the help of woocommerce hooks, i had managed to manipulate the price in both the shopping cart and the checkout, this works without any problems at all. Hooks i have used woocommerce_cart_item_price, woocommerce_cart_item_subtotals, woocommerce_cart_subtotal and woocommerce_cart_total.

Now we come to my problem that i need to solve in the very near future. The price from my custom function is not included in the woocommerce order. So, is there a hook to manipulate the product prices in the order before the woocommerce creates the order?

I have looked at https://docs.woocommerce.com/wc-apidocs/hook-docs.html but with no success.

Where does Woocommerce get the price from when it creates the order? The _price meta field, woocommerce_get_price hook, the cart or something else. I would be very grateful if someone could explain this to me. I find that woocommerce is not very consistent with where it's getting the price from.

Please ask questions if you don't understand my problem or my relative poor English. Thanks in advance.

I've use the woocommerce_get_price hook, when you change it, that changed price will be used for the cart to calculate the total (price * qty).

After order is placed, WooCommerce calculates the product based price on the total and qty, if you change one of the 2 values (total or qty) it will change the product price.

In other words, the price is dynamic after order has been created.

Edit:

Added method to change price

function change_price( $cart ) {

    //  Exit function if price is changed at backend
    if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
        return;

    foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $key => $item ) {
        $item['data']->set_price( $custom_price );
    }
 }
 add_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 'change_price', 10, 1);
