Overview
By default, WooCommerce completes orders automatically only for virtual and downloadable products after a successful payment. Physical orders stay in processing until someone updates them by hand. For stores with many orders, that manual step takes time and can leave customers waiting for a status change.
WooCommerce Order Status Control replaces that default with a setting you choose. You can complete all paid orders, complete only virtual orders, or turn auto-completion off. It is set up from the WooCommerce settings, so no technical skills are needed. It fits stores selling services, downloadable content, physical goods, or a mix of them.
Features
- Automatic order completion: Orders are marked as completed right after a successful payment, which removes the need to update statuses by hand and keeps customers informed.
- Complete all paid orders: Set the store to mark every paid order as completed, including physical products that WooCommerce would normally leave in processing.
- Virtual order rule: Limit auto-completion to orders containing virtual or downloadable products, so physical orders stay in processing until you handle them.
- Option to turn it off: Disable auto-completion entirely if your workflow needs every order reviewed manually before it is marked as completed.
- Works with any product type: Completed statuses can be handled for virtual, downloadable and physical products, which cuts down the bottlenecks in your order workflow.
- Quick setup in WooCommerce: Configuration happens in the WooCommerce settings and takes only a few clicks, with no technical skills required to start automating statuses.
- Standard WooCommerce order flow: The plugin works with the standard WooCommerce order process, so it suits stores operating in different regions and selling different kinds of goods.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that sell physical products
- Shops selling downloads or virtual services
- Store owners tired of updating order statuses manually
