Sample code to import customers in WooCommerce

php
function import_woocommerce_customers($customers_data) {
    foreach ($customers_data as $customer) {
        $user_id = wc_create_new_customer(
            $customer['email'], 
            $customer['username'], 
            $customer['password']
        );

        if (!is_wp_error($user_id)) {
            // Update customer meta data
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $customer['first_name']);
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', $customer['last_name']);
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_phone', $customer['phone']);
            
            // Update billing address
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_address_1', $customer['billing_address']);
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_city', $customer['billing_city']);
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_state', $customer['billing_state']);
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_postcode', $customer['billing_postcode']);
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_country', $customer['billing_country']);
            
            // Set user role to 'customer'
            $user = new WP_User($user_id);
            $user->set_role('customer');
            
            echo "Customer imported successfully: " . $customer['email'] . "\n";
        } else {
            echo "Error importing customer: " . $customer['email'] . " - " . $user_id->get_error_message() . "\n";
        }
    }
}

This code demonstrates how to programmatically import customers into WooCommerce[1][2][4]. Here's a breakdown of what the code does:

1. It defines a function `import_woocommerce_customers` that takes an array of customer data as input.

2. For each customer in the array, it creates a new WooCommerce customer using `wc_create_new_customer()`, which is a WooCommerce function for creating customers[4].

3. If the customer is created successfully, it updates various user meta fields with the customer's information, including name, phone, and billing address details[1][2].

4. It sets the user role to 'customer' using WordPress's `WP_User` class.

5. The function then outputs a success or error message for each customer import attempt.

6. At the end, there's a sample array of customer data and a call to the import function to demonstrate its usage.

To use this code:

1. Ensure you have WooCommerce installed and activated on your WordPress site.
2. Modify the `$customers_data` array to include your actual customer data.
3. Run this code in a PHP environment with access to WordPress and WooCommerce functions (e.g., in a custom plugin or theme function).

Remember to handle any errors appropriately and consider performance implications for large imports. For large-scale imports, you might want to use batch processing or a more robust import solution[1][3][5].
