Custom Order Status for WooCommerce

Description

Custom Order Status for WooCommerce lets you create and manage your own order statuses directly from the WooCommerce dashboard. Customize each status with its own label, icon, and color, choose default statuses for supported payment methods, and send email notifications when an order moves to a custom status.

Key Features

Create Your Own Custom Order Statuses

Add your own order statuses to WooCommerce without writing code.

For each custom status you can configure:
* Status label
* Status slug
* Icon
* Display color

This makes it easier to organize orders according to your own fulfillment process.

Change the Default Order Statuses

Choose the default status assigned to new WooCommerce orders. The Lite version also lets you define default statuses for WooCommerce’s built-in payment gateways, helping orders enter the correct workflow immediately after checkout.

Send Email Notifications for Custom Order Statuses

Send email notifications whenever an order changes to a custom status. The Lite version supports global email notifications for both store administrators and customers, helping everyone stay informed throughout the order lifecycle.

Bulk Update Orders with Custom Statuses

Include custom statuses in WooCommerce Bulk Actions so multiple orders can be updated at once. Custom statuses are also recognized in WooCommerce Analytics reports, providing better visibility into your order workflow.

Keep Orders Editable After Status Changes

Orders assigned to custom statuses can remain editable whenever needed, and you can also configure them to be treated as paid when appropriate.

Common Use Cases

Custom Order Status for WooCommerce is ideal for stores that want to:
* Add fulfillment stages such as Packed, Shipped, or Ready for Pickup
* Create custom manufacturing or production workflows
* Improve warehouse and order management processes
* Notify customers when orders reach important milestones
* Manage orders more efficiently using bulk status updates
