Miscellaneous Data

Saving and retreiving misc data on and order

There may be some scenarios that it would be beneficial to store some data on an order. You could make a field on the order, but perhaps that is overkill or not appropriate for your use case.

Just like in commerce 1.x, in commerce 2.x you can store miscellaneous data as a key/value pair.

    $order->setData('unique_key', 'value');
    // Depending where you are setting data, you may need to call:
    // $order->save();

    ...

    echo $order->getData('unique_key'); // 'value'
