Home & Garden Order Status Manager for WooCommerce helps you reduce “Where is my order?” tickets by turning order updates into clear, customer-friendly messages.
Instead of generic statuses, you get a ready-to-use Home & Garden workflow (preparing, restocking, ready to ship, shipped, appointment delivery, partial delivery, delivered, after-sales). Each status can display a plain-language explanation on the customer’s order page, so shoppers instantly understand what’s happening and what to expect next.
You can also add delivery details per order (carrier, tracking link, number of parcels, delivery type, estimated date, appointment date/time). When available, these details are automatically shown to the customer and can be included in the “status changed” email, using smart placeholders like <code>{tracking_url}</code>, <code>{appointment_datetime}</code>, and <code>{parcels_count}</code>.
Result: fewer support requests, fewer misunderstandings, and a smoother post-purchase experience — especially for bulky items, scheduled deliveries, and split shipments common in the Home & Garden sector.
Built for WooCommerce. Simple to configure. Designed for real Home & Garden logistics.

<h1>Customize Order Numbers</h1>
The Custom Order Number extension enables you to replace default order numbers with custom order numbers.
Custom numbers may be more meaningful to your customers or add to your stores’ operational efficiency. The Custom Order Number extension also helps you keep business information private. Default order numbers may allow others to estimate your store’s sales volume.
Instead of offering just pre-fix and post-fix, the extension enables you to customize your order number by using an open field where you can add text, symbols, and variables. You can use up to eleven different variables to customize the order number. Variables include date, day, year, random number, sequential counter and more.
For example, you can replace the default order number 1343 with something like WOO-09134334 where WOO is the brand name added as text, 09 is the month, 1343 is the default order number and 34 is a 2-digit random number.
<h2>Features</h2>

Customizing order numbers
