    I have done this with below code:

    // Adding Google Adwords gclid parameter to Woocommerce Database
add_action( 'init', 'gclid_session' );
function gclid_session () {
    // Early initialize customer session
    if ( isset(WC()->session) && ! WC()->session->has_session() ) {
        WC()->session->set_customer_session_cookie( true );
    }
    if ( isset( $_GET['gclid'] ) ) {
        $gclid_ide = isset( $_GET['gclid'] )  ? esc_attr( $_GET['gclid'] )  : '';
        // Set the session data
        WC()->session->set( 'gclid_id', $gclid_ide );
    }
}

// Save session data as order meta data
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'set_order_gclid_meta' );
function set_order_gclid_meta( $order ) {
    $gclid_ide = WC()->session->get( 'gclid_id' ); // Get custom data from session
    if ( isset($gclid_ide) ) {
        $order->update_meta_data( '_gclid', $gclid_ide );
    }    
    WC()->session->__unset( 'gclid_id' ); // Remove session variable
}

// Show this session variables in new order email for admin and in woocommerce order page
// add_action( 'woocommerce_email_after_order_table', 'show_gclid_data', 20 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_billing_address', 'show_gclid_data' );
function show_gclid_data( $order ) {
    if ( $id_gclid = $order->get_meta( '_gclid' ) )
        echo '<p><strong>gclid :</strong> ' . $id_gclid . '</p>';
}

    I would store the gclid in WooCommerce session storage (you can check on each page load if the gclid is set in URL and doesn’t exist yet in WC session storage) like this:

    add_action( 'init', 'set_gclid_wc_session' );
function set_gclid_wc_session() {

    $gclid_value = $_GET['gclid'] ?? null;
    if( $gclid_value ) {
        WC()->session->set( 'gclid', $gclid_value );
    }
}

    Then, you can store the gclid as an order meta after it is created like this:

    add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'set_order_gclid_meta', 20, 2 );
function set_order_gclid_meta( $order, $data ) {
    $gclid = WC()->session->get( 'gclid' );
    if( $gclid ) {
        $order->update_meta_data( '_gclid', 'value' );
    }
}

    Then you can do anything you want with this meta (display in in the dashboard, etc.).
