<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>

<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>

<h2>Custom WooCommerce Order Statuses Completely Integrated into your Workflow</h2>
<p>The <strong>WooCommerce Order Status Manager</strong> allows you to create, edit, and delete custom order statuses and integrate them seamlessly into your WooCommerce order management flow. You can also edit core order statuses and trigger new order emails based on status changes.</p>
<p>Custom order statuses will be used in your orders list, and can even be integrated into the <strong>order actions</strong> or <strong>bulk actions</strong> for a completely seamless fulfillment workflow.</p>
<figure id="attachment_826581" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-826581" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-orders.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-826581" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-orders.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager: Statuses in action" width="950" height="367" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-826581" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Statuses in action</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>New <strong>order emails</strong> can also be triggered as an order status change notifier. You can trigger emails based on changes between custom statuses or core statuses so that customers and/or shop admins are always informed of order updates and changes.</p>

<h3>Add New Order Statuses</h3>
<p>You can add a new order status and select an icon to display in the orders list (which replaces the text badge for a status name). Action buttons can also be added if this will be used as “next status” by another status in your order flow. You can also add next statuses to determine which actions buttons should be displayed for this status.</p>
<figure id="attachment_826572" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-826572" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-status.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-826572" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-status.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager: Create a Status" width="950" height="594" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-826572" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Create a Status</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Edit Core Statuses</h3>
<p>You can edit a core WooCommerce order status to add “next statuses”. For example, you can add a custom status as a <em>next status</em> for “processing” orders, which will display your custom status action button for any processing order.</p>
<p>This makes order management simple, fast, and easy to use, as custom statuses are completely integrated into the orders workflow.</p>
<h3>Add New Order Emails</h3>
<p>New order emails can be added based on order status changes, including changes with custom order statuses. When these emails are added, they can be edited and enabled in your WooCommerce email lists, or the template can be overridden in your theme for greater control over the content.</p>
<figure id="attachment_155858" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-155858" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-email.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-155858" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-email.png" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager new email" width="550" height="257" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-155858" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Create an email</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Display Status Information to Customers</h3>
<p>Customers can be frustrated by order management when they don’t know where their orders are. While your statuses are meant to help in your fulfillment workflow, displaying a status like “Manufactured” or “Assembling” doesn’t tell customers anything.</p>
<p>You can now set a description for any status (including core statuses!) that will be shown to customers when they mouse over the order status.</p>
<figure id="attachment_159153" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-159153" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-recent-orders.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-159153" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-recent-orders.png?w=550" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager Orders List" width="550" height="380" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-159153" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Customer View</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Complete Order Status Management</h3>
<p>Rather than adding one-off statuses that don’t integrate with the rest of your emails, statuses, or fulfillment process, you can now completely embed custom statuses into your order management scheme. Use custom icons, action buttons, and new emails to tailor orders to your store and helpt to automate your order management.</p>
<h3>How to Get Started</h3>
<ol>
<li>Purchase and download the extension 🙂</li>
<li>Upload and install it into your WooCommerce store.</li>
<li>Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Order Statuses, and set up new statuses or email triggers.</li>
<li>Edit your email content if needed.</li>
<li>That’s it! Sit back and enjoy custom WooCommerce order statuses and automatic emails!</li>
</ol>
