<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>Notify customers with Emails & SMS</h3>

<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>

<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-tabs-list.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-163383" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-tabs-list.png" alt="WooCommerce Tab Manager - Tab List" width="950" height="486" /></a></p>

<h3>Default Tab Layout</h3>
<p>Manage the default tabs for all products in your store (which can be overridden on a per-product basis)! You can re-order tabs, rename them, remove core tabs, and add your own global tabs.</p>
<figure id="attachment_152554" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152554" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-admin-default.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-152554" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-admin-default.png" alt="WooCommerce Tab Manager Default Tab Layout" width="550" height="366" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152554" class="wp-caption-text">Default Tab Layout</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Per-Category Global Tabs – NEW</h3>
<p>Need to add global tabs, but only for certain product categories? You can determine which global tabs should show up on which categories, even if the global tab is part of your default layout.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-global-tab-categories.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-163385" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-global-tab-categories.png" alt="WooCommerce Tab Manager: Global tab categories" width="950" height="481" /></a></p>
<p>Or, just leave your category selector blank to let global tabs show for any product.</p>
<h3>Overriding Product Layout</h3>
<p>If a product needs a unique tab layout, or a customized tab, you can override the default tab layout. This lets you re-order tabs for the product, remove tabs from the default layout, add global tabs, or add a customized tab for this product.</p>
<figure id="attachment_152556" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152556" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-manage-product-tabs.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-152556" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-manage-product-tabs.png" alt="WooCommerce Tab Manager Add Custom Product Tabs" width="550" height="456" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152556" class="wp-caption-text">Add Custom Tabs Under Product Data</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Keep Tab Content in Your Search Results</h3>
<p>Any product-specific tabs you add will mostly likely contain content. If a customer searches for a keyword in that content, the product will show up as a search result. You can also make global tabs searchable, which is helpful if a global tab is only used on certain products.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-global-tab.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-159143" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/woocommerce-tab-manager-global-tab.png" alt="WooCommerce Tab Manager make tab searchable" width="550" height="218" /></a></p>
<p>This is even compatible with the popular, free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/">Relevanssi plugin</a> to keep tab content in your search index.</p>
<h3>Embed Forms & Information in Tabs</h3>
<p>You can use separate tabs to display <strong>embedded information</strong>, such as videos, images, and more. Shortcodes will be expanded in tab content so you can embed information from other popular plugins like <strong>Gravity Forms</strong> for pre-sales forms, embed YouTube product explainer videos, or use other shortcodes to modify content display.</p>
