Assign a User Role per specific products.
Working on an e-commerce site, I realized that customers purchasing a certain product needed to assign a specific role in addition to the default “customer” role assigned by Woocommerce. This is the way to do it.
In your unctions.php add the following snippet:
In your unctions.php add the following snippet:
<?php
/**
* Assign a specific User Role after purchasing specific products.
* Modify the $product_id_roles array with the actual product IDs and roles.
*/
function assign_role_after_product_purchase( $order_id ) {
// 1. Define roles based on the product
// The key is the WooCommerce Product ID, the value is the User Role name
$product_id_roles = array(
'1' => 'roleA', // Example: Product ID 1 assigns Role 'roleA'
'2' => 'roleB', // Example: Product ID 2 assigns Role 'roleB'
'3' => 'roleC', // Example: Product ID 3 assigns Role 'roleC'
// Add the other courses here...
);
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$user = $order->get_user();
// I verify that the order is completed and that it is a registered user
if ( ! $order->is_paid() || ! $user || ! is_a( $user, 'WP_User' ) ) {
return;
}
$assigned_roles = array();
// I scroll through the order items to see if one of the involved products
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item ) {
$product_id = $item->get_product_id();
if ( array_key_exists( $product_id, $product_id_roles ) ) {
// I get the role to assign for this specific product
$assigned_roles[] = $product_id_roles[ $product_id ];
}
}
// If one or more courses were found in the order
if ( ! empty( $assigned_roles ) ) {
// I assign roles (if there are more than one) to the user
foreach ( array_unique( $assigned_roles ) as $role_to_be_assigned ) {
$user->add_role( $role_to_be_assigned );
}
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'assign_role_after_product_purchase', 10, 1 );
