Archive Old Orders

<p>Transform your WooCommerce order management with intelligent archiving that keeps your store fast and organized. Automatically declutter your order lists while maintaining complete access to historical data. The ultimate performance and organization solution for high-volume WooCommerce stores.</p>

<h2>Efficiently manage your orders</h2>
<p>The Custom Order Status extension enables you to create additional order statuses to better manage your order processing. Manually assign new order statuses or create automation rules to <strong>automatically change order statuses</strong> based on various conditions like order amount, quantity, user role, product, date, and more.</p>
<p>WooCommerce comes with eight standard order statuses (on-hold, pending, etc.). They do not cover all the situations businesses encounter. With Custom Order Status, you can create additional order statuses that better represent your business. You can add items like manufacturing, packaging, printing, shipping, etc.</p>
<p>Instead of manually adding new statuses, you can <strong>bulk import and export statuses</strong> using a CSV file. Automatically assign new statuses or manually assign them from the Order-Detail page or by using bulk actions from the Orders-Listing page.</p>
<p>Custom Order Status allows you to keep your customers and store admin informed about status changes using Advanced Email Notification rules.</p>

<h2>Automatically assign custom statuses</h2>
<p>With Order Statuses Manager, you can automatically assign custom statuses to orders based on various conditions. You can create multiple automation rules to assign different statuses to different orders based on various conditions like user roles, order amounts, quantities, and more.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-18734001367269 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Automated-rules-to-change-status.jpg" alt="" width="2542" height="856" /></p>
<p>When you create new automation rules you can customize the following options:</p>
<ul>

<li><strong>Condition</strong>—Only the orders matching current statuses will change to new statuses based on the following conditions:

<h2>Manually assign custom statuses</h2>
<p>Depending on your business requirements, you can manually assign custom order statuses just like the standard order statuses. That is, from the admin Order-Detail page or using bulk actions from the standard WooCommerce order list.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-18734001367272 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Status-on-Orders-grid.jpg" alt="" width="2540" height="1432" /></p>
<h2>Set up email notifications</h2>
<p><strong>Custom Order Statuses</strong> comes with an advanced email notification system that allows you to create multiple notification rules for different order status changes. Instead of notifying admin and customers for each change, you can notify when there is an important change that customer must be aware of.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-18734001367276 size-full alignnone" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Status-Emails.jpg" alt="" width="2526" height="960" /></p>

<li>Rule titles and descriptions for internal use</li>
<li>Email subjects, headings, and description</li>
<li>Send emails to admins or customers</li>
<li>Select current and new statuses to trigger emails</li>
</ul>

<h2>Import or export custom statuses</h2>
