Hi! Thx for the code!
However, I also have the same error:
[15-Feb-2021 17:50:15 UTC] billing_vat was called incorrectly. Order properties should not be accessed directly.

Do you have any idea of what it could be? How can I fix this? Thank you so much in advance!

Hello,

I found the solution here about
billing_vat was called incorrectly

add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_formatted_billing_address', 'custom_add_vat_formatted_billing_address', 10, 2 );
function custom_add_vat_formatted_billing_address( $fields, $order ) {
    $fields['vat'] = $order->get_meta('billing_vat');

    return $fields;
}

Hope this will help others :)
