How Do I Create a Custom Order Status in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:07 pm

Customizing order statuses in WooCommerce is a great way to keep track of important orders, and to automate order processing. By default, WooCommerce comes with four order statuses: Pending, Processing, On Hold, and Completed.

While these statuses cover the majority of orders, there are always going to be special cases that require a custom order status. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a custom order status in WooCommerce.

Creating a custom order status is easy with the WooCommerce Order Status Manager plugin. Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, go to WooCommerce > Statuses to add your new status.

Give your status a name and description, then select the color you want it to be displayed as. You can also choose whether or not you want to include this status in reports.

Now that your custom order status has been created, you can assign it to orders from the Edit Order screen. Simply select the new status from the Order Status dropdown menu and save your changes. You can also bulk edit orders from the Orders page and change their statuses in bulk.
