Custom Order Status for WooCommerce Pro

Custom Order Status for WooCommerce Pro

Managing orders becomes significantly more flexible with Custom Order Status for WooCommerce Pro, a plugin built to give store owners complete control over the WooCommerce order workflow. Rather than being limited to default statuses like Processing, Completed, or On-Hold, this plugin allows for the creation of tailored order statuses that reflect your unique business logic.

The plugin offers a simple user interface to create, edit, delete, and assign custom statuses. It seamlessly integrates these new statuses into the WooCommerce core order management system. Store admins can define icons, colors, and email notifications for each custom status. These statuses behave just like the built-in ones—meaning they can trigger emails, appear in the order list filters, and be used in bulk actions.

Custom statuses can be applied manually or automatically using automation rules. For example, an order containing digital downloads might automatically transition to a “Waiting for License Key” status before reaching “Completed.” This flexibility is especially useful for service-based businesses or complex workflows that involve multiple steps or third-party verification.

From a technical perspective, the plugin is developed following WooCommerce’s coding standards, ensuring full compatibility. It uses standard WordPress hooks and actions, and supports translation via .PO and .MO files. It also respects WooCommerce’s REST API and works alongside other third-party plugins that rely on custom statuses.
