We looked into it further, and the issue is that the country code needs to be added to the phone number. For example, if the number is , you should add your country code (e.g., ) at the beginning.

You can handle this with a simple function like this(change with your country code):

<?php

/**

* Add country code to phone numbers in WooCommerce REST API orders.

* Example: 09944828217 → +979944828217

*/

add_filter('woocommerce_rest_prepare_shop_order_object', function ($response, $object, $request) {

$data = $response->get_data();

if (!empty($data['billing']['phone'])) {

$data['billing']['phone'] = format_phone_with_country_code($data['billing']['phone']);

}

if (!empty($data['shipping']['phone'])) {

$data['shipping']['phone'] = format_phone_with_country_code($data['shipping']['phone']);

}

$response->set_data($data);

return $response;

}, 20, 3);

/**

* Format phone numbers by adding the +97 country code

* (adjust this for your own country code if needed).

*/

function format_phone_with_country_code($phone) {

// Remove all non-numeric characters

$phone = preg_replace('/\D+/', '', $phone);

// If the number starts with 09, replace the 0 with +97

if (preg_match('/^09\d+$/', $phone)) {

return '+97' . substr($phone, 1);

}

return $phone;

}

i think if you remove country code then we will able to use whatsapp foe local whatsapp numbers

Dear Tanvir Ahmed Tanju,

We are aware of this issue. It happens because we cannot detect the country code for WhatsApp, so we’re unable to identify the correct WhatsApp number. We may remove this feature temporarily until we find a better solution.
