Order statuses allow you to keep your customer and yourself updated about the status of any order at any time. WooCommerce offers several order statuses.

  • Pending payment: The order has been received but no payment has been made.
  • Failed: The payment was not received or declined
  • Processing: Payment received; order in process.
  • Completed: Order fulfilled.
  • On-Hold: Awaiting payment. A customer might send a check, for example.
  • Cancellation: Customer or store owner can cancel an order.
  • Refunded: A refund was issued.

These steps are sufficient for most online stores. You may need to take additional steps to suit your business model or enhance your workflow. WooCommerce Order status Manager is here to help.

You can edit, delete, or create custom order statuses, as well as send emails to customers based upon a change in status. How does this work?

Let's suppose you make custom RVs. The order fulfillment process can be longer than in other industries. You can keep your customers engaged by adding additional order status to help you keep your projects on track.

It is possible to set up order statuses for each stage of the build process, such as finishing the design, installing upholstery, and completing the paint job. You can also set up emails to notify the customer when the status changes. You can let customers follow the progress and engage with your team.

If you are a print shop owner, you might want to use order statuses to remind clients to send important assets. You could, for example, create a Waiting on Proof Approval status which automatically sends an email reminder to your client. This will save you the effort of reaching out each time.

Order statuses can be used to prevent customers from asking questions about order progress, engage customers and automate your reminder/update processes.

WooCommerce Order Management Manager allows you to create new order statuses.

Make eCommerce easier
