<h2>Use Admin Custom Order Fields to Streamline Order Processing and Details</h2>
<p>Do you find yourself putting a lot of information in your “Order Notes” or using outside software, such as Excel, to keep track of order details? Say goodbye to all of the hassle of keeping track of order information in a million different places! The <strong>Admin Custom Order Fields extension</strong> will allow your team to use WooCommerce as a complete Customer Relationship Management system so order information is centralized where the orders actually happen — right within your WooCommerce dashboard.</p>
<p>All order details, notes, fields, and information addition can be streamlined right within the order itself, allowing you to <strong>standardize order details</strong>, keep all order information <strong>in WooCommerce</strong> and not scattered across multiple systems, and <strong>sort or filter orders</strong> based on your custom order information. Keep all of your order details where they belong: tied to the original order!</p>

<p>Let’s say that you’re using WooCommerce to book helicopter tours, and you need a way to assign times, pilots, or other details to an order. <strong>Admin Custom Order Fields</strong> allows you to add these details from the Orders Dashboard, and even optionally display them to the customer on the “My Orders” page.</p>
<p>Using WooCommerce to sell other services? You can add dates for coaching sessions, assign multiple case managers to a consulting account, or manage any other order details you wish. Stop jotting down everything in the order notes and start to organize and compartmentalize with Admin Custom Order Fields!</p>
<h3>What Can Admin Custom Order Fields Do?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create order details to add/edit from the admin Orders Dashboard</li>
<li>Centralize order details that can easily be edited by all team members</li>
<li>Sort or filter orders displayed based on your custom order fields</li>
<li>Optionally display order fields/details to customers</li>
<li>Eliminate the need for spreadsheets or other external systems to manage order notes/details</li>
<li>Streamline your CRM system by centralizing everything in WooCommerce</li>
</ul>
<h3>Make Your Order Management Efficient</h3>
<p>If you’ve been using order notes to add order details, or even worse, been using an outside system to track order details, you know that it’s a pain to keep all of this information updated, <em>especially</em> if it needs to be shared between team members (don’t worry, we know how it’s tough to use Google Docs for all of this!).</p>
<p>Adding all of these details as order fields will simplify record-keeping so that all details are managed right within WooCommerce and visible to all team members. By default, all admin order fields are <strong>hidden from customers</strong>. Even better, you can <strong>sort or filter orders based on these fields</strong>.</p>

<h3>Optionally Display Order Fields to Customers</h3>
<p>Need to assign customers to a trip or tour group after their order has been placed? Want to let them know who their tour guide or pilot will be? Doing so is easy with Admin Custom Order Fields. Set the order field attribute to “Show in My Orders/Email”, and customers will be able to view that field with the rest of their order details.</p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Key Features</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Create & manage custom order statuses within the WooCommerce dashboard and automate your order processing. With the Flexi Custom Order Status plugin, you can-</span></p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Automatically notify customers via email or SMS every time an order’s status changes to a custom one.</strong><span style="color: var(--wp--preset--color--woo-text-gray,#101517);font-family: var(--wccom-font-family-default);letter-spacing: -0.011em"><br />
</span>Example: Notify customers with “Your order is being packed!” or “Your order is out for delivery.”<br />
Set notifications for individual or multiple status changes together, keeping your customers updated and confident.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Create custom order statuses for built-in gateways like PayPal or 3rd-party and custom payment gateways for smooth order processing.</b><br />
Example: Add a custom status, “Payment Under Review,” for Cash on Delivery orders to track pending payments.<br />
Ensure every payment method is accounted for with a streamlined status system.</li>
<li><strong>Custom order status rules to automate order status changes</strong><br />
Automate order status changes based on time, payment method, shipping zones, or specific days and dates to keep your workflow hands-free.<br />
Example: Automatically move “Cash on Delivery” orders using Flat Rate shipping to “Pending Pickup” two days after purchase—excluding Sundays and public holidays.</li>
<li>You can also set order status rules based on specific products, categories, cart totals, quantities, user roles, or customer locations for advanced automation.Example: Automatically mark orders as “Processing” when VIP customers from the US buy 5+ units from the Electronics category.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Orders stuck in the same status for too long can disrupt workflows and delay deliveries.</b><br />
Example: Get an alert if an order remains in “Awaiting Payment” for more than 48 hours.<br />
Define time intervals in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months to take timely action.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Let customers cancel orders with custom statuses directly from the “Orders” page in their account.</b><br />
Example: Enable cancellations for orders in the “Awaiting Confirmation” status for better user experience.<br />
Control this feature with a simple toggle setting to suit your store’s policies.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Accidental changes to orders after a custom status is applied can lead to errors in processing. Make orders non-editable once assigned a custom status to prevent unauthorized changes.</b><br />
Uncheck the “Make custom order status editable” box to lock the status.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Manual inventory adjustments can lead to errors and inefficiencies. Automatically adjust stock levels when orders are updated to a custom status.</b><br />
Example: Decrease stock when an order is marked as “Dispatched” or increase stock when set to “Cancelled.”<br />
Keep inventory accurate without additional effort.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Default statuses often lack the flexibility required for unique workflows. Customise statuses as required.</b><br />
Modify built-in WooCommerce order statuses to match your business processes.<br />
Example: Rename “On Hold” to “Pending Customer Approval” for clarity.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Use Bulk Actions to update multiple orders to a custom status in just a few clicks.</b><br />
Example: Change 50+ orders to “Packed for Shipping” at once with bulk actions.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Add unique icons for each custom status for better visibility and organization.</b></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Manually managing orders can lead to operational bottlenecks.</b><br />
Quickly update orders to custom statuses directly from the Edit Order page or Bulk Actions dropdown.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Custom order status rules to automate order status changes</h3>
<p>Set rules that automatically update order statuses based on specific conditions — no manual action needed.</p>
<p><strong>Supported rule types:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Time-Based Rules</strong> – Delay status change by minutes, hours, or days</li>
<li><strong>Payment Method Conditions</strong> – Apply rules only for specific payment gateways</li>
<li><strong>Shipping Method Conditions</strong> – Limit rules to orders with certain shipping zones/methods</li>
<li><strong>Date-Based Rules (Skip Dates)</strong> – Exclude holidays or blackout dates</li>
<li><strong>Day-Based Rules (Skip Days)</strong> – Prevent rules from running on specific weekdays</li>
</ul>
<p>Example: Automatically change order status from <strong>“Packaging”</strong> to <strong>“Ready for Shipment”</strong> based on the condition— <strong>30 minutes</strong> after it’s marked as Packaging — but only for <strong>Direct Bank Transfer</strong> orders using Zone 1 – <strong>Flat Rate shipping</strong>, and exclude <strong>Sundays and public holidays.</strong></p>
<h3>Custom order statuses for default & other payment gateways</h3>
<p>From Paypal to Cash On Delivery, you can set a custom order status for almost any payment medium selected.</p>

<h3>Customers can cancel orders with custom statuses</h3>
<p>As the admin, of course, you get to cancel an order. But now, you can also set whether your customers can cancel orders with custom statuses.</p>

<h3>Make orders with custom statuses non-editable</h3>
<p>Orders will no longer be editable once you’ve added or updated them with a custom order status. They will behave like the Processing & Completed order statuses.</p>
