<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>Order Status—</strong>Select the current order status and new statuses to assign</li>
<li><strong>Condition</strong>—Only the orders matching current statuses will change to new statuses based on the following conditions:
<ul>
<li><strong>Time Interval—</strong>Time passed since placing the order; define the amount of time in minutes, hours, and days before new statuses will be assigned</li>
<li><strong>Order Quantity—</strong>Minimum and maximum order quantity ranges to change statuses</li>
<li><strong>Order Amount</strong>—Minimum and maximum order amount ranges to change statuses</li>
<li><strong>Products/Categories</strong>—The order includes specific products or categories</li>
<li><strong>Countries</strong>—The order belongs to a specific billing or shipping country</li>
<li><strong>User Roles</strong>—The customers linked to the order have a specific user role</li>
<li><strong>Order Date</strong>—The order creation date falls within a defined range</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Email Notifications</strong>—You can disable email notifications for customers and admins</li>
</ul>

<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>
<p>When you create new email notification rules, you can customize:</p>
<ul>
<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>
<div class="woo-sc-box info">Note: You can customize status email templates like any other standard WooCommerce email via <em>WooCommerce > Settings > Emails</em>.</div>

<h2>Import or export custom statuses</h2>
<p>Instead of adding new statuses individually, you can bulk import and export them using a CSV file. Once the import is complete you can assign custom statuses to orders manually or using automation rules.</p>

<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>Minimum PHP version: 5.2</p>

Custom Order Status

<p>Improve your order management by creating additional order statuses. Manually or automatically assign order statuses and keep customers informed with automatic email notifications.</p>

<h2>Control which Paid WooCommerce Orders are Automatically Completed</h2>
<p>WooCommerce automatically completes orders for virtual-downloadable products after successful payment, but it won’t autocomplete other orders, as you may need to take actions between when the order is processed and completed. If you sell shippable products, you probably need to ship them before completing the order. If you sell virtual products like services, you probably have to do something between when the order is paid and completed.</p>
<p>However, this isn’t the case for all stores, and you may not need to take any action between when an order is paid for and completed. For example, you may want to auto-complete virtual orders, or even those with products that aren’t virtual or downloadable. Likewise, you may not want any orders to automatically complete at all.</p>
<p>In this case, you can use the <strong>WooCommerce Order Status Control extension</strong> to get greater control over when paid orders are automatically completed.</p>
<figure id="attachment_164230" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164230" style="width: 773px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/woocommerce-order-status-control-setting.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-164230" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/woocommerce-order-status-control-setting.png?w=773" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Control: settings" width="773" height="481" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-164230" class="wp-caption-text">Auto-Complete settings</figcaption></figure>
<p>Want to completely prevent orders from automatically completing? You can use this plugin to block virtual + downloadable orders from going right to “completed”.</p>
<p>Need to automatically complete more orders than WooCommerce does by default? You can do that, too. Normally, orders with successful payment are updated from ‘pending’ to ‘processing’. Once the order is processed, you have to manually complete it. If your shop takes a large number of orders that don’t require action while the order is processing, updating the order status to complete for each of those orders is a time commitment that you can instead streamline.</p>
<p>WooCommerce Order Status Control can automatically mark paid orders as ‘complete’ instead of ‘processing’, completing skipping the ‘processing’ status. All it takes is 1 minute to setup and you never have to worry about changing order statuses for paid orders again.</p>

<p>You can automatically complete paid orders that only contain virtual items, or you can opt to automatically complete all paid orders in your shop, regardless of what type of product the order contains.</p>
