WooCommerce Order Custom Statuses

Custom statuses for WooCommerce orders

Description

When enabled, WooCommerce Order Custom Statuses module lets you add custom order statuses to WooCommerce. With this tool you can custom order statuses that suit the personality and tone of your website, or give more specific information to your customer.

Order Custom Statuses Module Options

WooCommerce Order Custom Statuses - Admin Settings

Default Order Status
You can change the default order status here. However payment gateways can change this status immediately on order creation. E.g. BACS gateway will change status to On-hold. Enable the module to add custom statuses to the list.

Default: Pending payment
Add All Statuses to Admin Order Bulk Actions
If you wish to add custom statuses to admin Orders page bulk actions, enable the checkbox here.

Default: yes
Add Custom Statuses to Admin Reports
If you wish to add custom statuses to admin reports, enable the checkbox here.

Default: yes
Make Custom Status Orders Editable
By default orders with custom statuses are not editable (same like with standard WooCommerce Completed status). If you wish to make custom status orders editable, enable the checkbox here.

Default: no
“Processing” and “Complete” Action Buttons
By default, when order has custom status, “Processing” and “Complete” action buttons are hidden. You can enable it here. Possible values are: Show both; Show “Processing” only; Show “Complete” only; Hide (default).

Default: Hide
Add Custom Statuses to Admin Order List Action Buttons
If you wish to add custom statuses buttons to the admin Orders page action buttons (Actions column), enable the checkbox here. You can also choose if you want the buttons to have colors.

Default: no

Tool

This is the main tool which allows you to create, delete and edit custom order statuses. Default WooCommerce order statuses are also listed here, however there are no options to modify them.

WooCommerce Order Custom Statuses - Custom Statuses Tool

You can set up custom emails to be send when orders status changes to custom status you’ve created. For that you need to enable and configure Custom Emails module.Please note that, when setting Default Order Status option, some standard WooCommerce emails may stop sending. For example, triggers for the new order email to admin are, when order status changes:

  • from pending to processing
  • from pending to completed
  • from pending to on-hold
  • from failed to processing
  • from failed to completed
  • from failed to on-hold

and for customer’s on-hold order email:

  • from pending to on-hold
  • from failed to on-hold

By default, in WooCommerce default order status is set to “pending”, so if you change that, some order emails may be never triggered. For example, to continue sending two emails described above, you need to set the “Default Order Status” option to either “pending” or to “no changes”.

Accessible through:

  • WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Shipping & Orders > Order Custom Statuses

Tested on WooCommerce 4.0.0 and WordPress 5.3.2Plugin can be downloaded here. If there are any locked fields in the module, you will need to get Booster Plus to unlock them.

    Hi there.

    The action buttons (for custom order statuses) don’t seem to be working. Every time I select an action button for a custom order status, the status defaults to ‘pending’. Everything is up to date. Another site with identical settings / theme works fine. Any ideas?

    Thanks, Roy

      Don’t worry. Fixed it. Was a double wc-wc- on the slugs which seemed to be screwing something up.

      Deleted the custom statuses and re-added them.

    Hi,
    Is possible hidden all custom Action Buttons when order is Complete? Becouse if order is completed, they are all useless.
    Thanks for info.

      Hi Rokas,
      that will be good, this option…
      So far I have solved it this way:

      add_filter( ‘woocommerce_admin_order_actions’, ‘add_cancel_order_actions_button’, 999, 2 ); // 999 – last action
      function add_cancel_order_actions_button( $actions, $order ) {
      if ( $order->has_status( array( ‘cancelled’, ‘completed’ ) ) ) { // if is order cancelled or completed
      // unset my custom actions
      unset($actions[‘shipped’]);
      unset($actions[‘local-pickup’]);
      }
      return $actions;
      }

    Hi Rokas,
    The module has not been running since wordpress update, due to some php error caused by booster plus.
    Only WooCommerce Order Custom Statuses module not working.
    I have set the custom status with email notification, I set up custom status with email notification, custom email module..
    Has been down for about 10 days. Don’t know something about this error? Other users not experiencing error?
    “WordPress 5.2 has a new built-in feature that detects when a plugin or template causes a fatal error on a web page, and automatically informs the web site operator of this error by email.

    WordPress has encountered a problem with the Booster Plus for WooCommerce extension.”
    Thank you very much.
    József

    Hello,

    Maybe I asking too much but after this quick and excellent upgrade, I just realize the font depending on the color you use for the tabs, is not very easy to read because they are like dark grey, which suits very well for light colors but not for dark colors. Is there a way to change the font colors? I mean, is it something you could include in the options settings? Sorry if I am asking too much.

    Thank you for your future reply. I will give you a rating after a few days of use, but your customer service kick ass! congrats!

      Hi Phil,

      Again, as mentioned in private email – I’ve just made the required changes in the plugin. Now in “WooCommerce > Booster Tools > Custom Statuses” you will find new “Text Color” option.

      Best regards,
      Tom

      Once again thank you for the quick upgrade, but i guess it was a bit too quick and not complete, I can now see the font column colors but on tabs colors and font colors there is only number codes. Which make the choice very tricky because I have to open another software to type the code color as there is no color chart anymore. Not very easy to use in my opinion.
      The pop up window with the color chart was a lot more efficient. Here is my 2 cents feedback.

      thank you very much.

      Actually i just realize there is something tricky. On my PC at the office I can see the color charts for both choices, but at home on my Imac, I only have the #XXXXX code for both of them. So I guess it is an OS issue, right?
      My second question is: I just delete one of the status to replace by another name (cause I could not edit the slug name) but now what happened is the customers with this status completely disapear from our customer order list. Do you have any idea if the missing customers are stored somewhere or they are just deleted because their status does not match? Thank you for your future answer.

      Hi Phil,

      Thank you for the feedback.

      1. Color codes instead of color picker – yes, this seems to be some browser related issue. We are using <input type="color"> (https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_form_input_types.asp). It says there that … type=”color” is not supported in Internet Explorer 11 and earlier versions or Safari 9.1 and earlier versions… Will have to think of some solution, but for now you’ll have to try another browser. For example you could try installing Chrome on your Mac.

      2. Missing status – it’s not deleted, just not displayed. To bring them back – re-create status that you’ve deleted, then go to your orders list and assign some new status for all the orders with status that you are going to delete. Then you can delete that status safely. Hope you get the idea. I understand that this is not the best solution – again we’ll fix that eventually.

      Hope that helps.

      Best regards,
      Tom

    Hello there,

    Thank you for your plugin, I just bought the pro version with a lifetime subscription because with the free version I was not able to get a colored version of the status patches (status column ). But after using this pro version, I still cannot see any of created status in color, they are all in grey. Only the icon on the right are in colors. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    Thank you for your future answer.

      Hi Phil,

      As mentioned in private email – you are correct, we didn’t implement coloring in Status column. However I’ve just made the required changes in the plugin. Now in “WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Shipping & Orders > Order Custom Statuses” you will find new checkbox – “Enable Colors in Status Column”. After enabling it, column should be colored.

      Best regards,
      Tom

      Hi Guillaume,

      Not sure I understood you correctly, but show_in_admin_status_list is enabled by default for custom statuses in Booster. Please note that status will appear in status list only when there is at least one order with that status. Maybe that’s the reason why you are not seeing it there?

      Best regards,
      Tom

    Custom status not showing in the drop down.

    https://snag.gy/Hd5JxZ.jpg

    And it seems like it has conflict with woocommerce emails. When we disable this module, all woocommerce email works fine.

    Booster Version 3.1.2
    WooCommerce Version 3.1.2
    WordPress Vesrion 4.8

    We would appreciate your help.

    Hi there –

    I have created a few custom statuses, but only some of them actually work at the moment. When I create it, I can move orders there, but then they are not displayed in the listing along the top of the overall order list.

    I can’t delete them either. It asks me if I’m sure, so I click ‘yes’. Then it refreshes, but nothing changes. I am running the latest version of wordpress and woocommerce.

      Hi Antonio,

      I’ve just made some changes to the plugin. Please download the development version here – https://booster.io/dev/. You will need to uninstall the old plugin version first (don’t worry your saved settings won’t disappear). Now in module’s settings (in “WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Shipping & Orders > Order Custom Statuses”) I’ve added Default "Processing" and "Complete" Action Buttons option. When it’s set to Show both, it should display both buttons for orders with custom statuses. There is also Show "Complete" only option. Please let me know if that works as expected.

      Best regards,
      Tom

      Please let me know if you have any questions.
