Custom Order Status for WooCommerce 1.3.0

Custom Order Status for WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that lets you create additional order statuses beyond the default WooCommerce set. It helps you model real-life fulfillment steps—such as manufacturing, packaging, printing, or shipping—so customers and store admins can clearly understand where an order stands.

Instead of relying on manual workarounds, you can assign new statuses manually from the order detail screen or set them in bulk from the Orders Listing. You can also automate status changes based on conditions like order amount, quantity, user role, product, and date.

The extension supports CSV import/export for managing statuses and uses email notification rules so relevant parties stay informed when order statuses change.

Main Features

• Create custom WooCommerce order statuses — Add new stages that match your processing workflow.
• Manual status assignment — Set a custom status directly from the Order-Detail page.
• Automation rules for status changes — Automatically update statuses based on conditions such as order amount, quantity, user role, product, and date.
• Bulk actions from Orders Listing — Apply custom statuses to multiple orders efficiently.
• CSV import/export — Manage order statuses using bulk CSV import and export.
• Workflow-aligned fulfillment stages — Use statuses that reflect manufacturing, packaging, printing, and shipping steps.
• Email notifications on status updates — Trigger customer and admin notifications when statuses change.
• Clear order tracking in the admin — Keep internal teams aligned with accurate, readable status labels.

Benefits

• More accurate tracking — Replace generic statuses with workflow-specific stages for clearer visibility.
• Higher customer clarity — Reduce confusion by keeping customers informed about meaningful progress.
• Less manual effort — Use rules to automate changes and minimize repetitive updates.
• Faster order processing — Apply statuses in bulk from the Orders Listing for quicker operations.

• E-commerce brands that want clearer customer order updates than standard statuses provide.
• Agencies managing multiple WooCommerce setups and workflows.
