Need customer email in ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage hook

[omega1]

Hi,

I am using the ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage hook to perform some backend server work whenever a customer pays for a service, but I also need their email address.

ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage does not seem to contain the email address, what is the easiest way to do this? I am assuming that the only way to do this is somehow use the orderid available in ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage and work backwards to match it to a customer in the WHMCS database?

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

You should be able to find the email address in $vars['clientdetails']. It contains an array of the client details.

just to expand on Dennis' answer, by the time the user reaches the complete page, they'll definitely be logged in and so that's why you'll have access to the $clientsdetails array.

note that the array is called $clientsdetails and not $clientdetails as Dennis mentioned... that's a mistake i've made plenty of times myself! 🙄

Ah balls, you're right. The naming is not logical 😄

Hi, many thanks both for your replies, much appreciated.

Just checking, is it this part of the array for the email address?

$email = $clientsdetails['email'];

And this is definitely available within ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage?

Thanks again.

Just checking this again...

The hook page for ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage says it is 'clientdetails' not 'clientsdetails' is the hook page wrong?  https://developers.whmcs.com/hooks-reference/shopping-cart/#shoppingcartcheckoutcompletepage

Also, I guess that if I'm using this:

<?php
add_hook('ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage', 1, function($vars) {
// My PHP code
});

Then this would give me the email address?

$customer_email = $vars['clientsdetails']['email'];

Thanks again.

possibly it has access to both...

that's the way that I would do it (by accessing $vars)

Thanks brain!

For future reference, this worked: 

$customer_email = $vars['clientdetails']['email'];
