<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>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18734004615155" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/custom-order-status-email-notifications.png" alt="" width="980" height="424" /></p>
<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>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18734004615168" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/custom-order-status-for-payment-gateways.png" alt="" width="980" height="446" /></p>
<h3>Automatic alert notifications for admins</h3>
<p>Admins can get updates via email notifications if orders have stayed on a particular status for a longer period (pre-defined time set by you).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18734004619998" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/notify-emails-revised.png" alt="" width="980" height="453" /></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>
