With the Order Status Rules for WooCommerce plugin, you can schedule automatic WooCommerce order status updates. For example: automatically change the order status to cancelled when 24 hours have passed since the order status was set to pending.

Overview

Multiple Rules

Add as many order status rules as you need.

Order Status

Start by setting Status from and Status to options. Custom order statuses will be listed here as well.

For example, automatically update order status from “pending payment” to “cancelled”.

Time Trigger

Set when order status should be updated (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks). It’s also possible to set the time trigger to zero – the status will be updated immediately. Finally, you can skip selected days, e.g., Saturdays and Sundays.

For example, update order status after five days, excluding Saturdays and Sundays.

Order Amounts

Set minimum/maximum order subtotal and quantity.

For example, update order status if the number of items in the order exceeds 100 pcs.

Payments and Shipping

Set required payment gateways and shipping methods.

For example, automatically cancel “Check payments” orders after 30 days.

Countries

Set required billing and shipping countries.

For example, set specific order status if the shipping country is Canada.

Products

Set required products, product categories, and product tags.

Users

Set users and user roles.

For example, automatically complete orders created by shop managers.

Coupons

Set the rule to be applied only for orders with any or specific coupon(s).

Dates

Allow rules processing via URL

This will allow to initiate all rules processing via URL: https://example.com?alg_wc_order_status_rules_process_rules. For example, this could be useful if you are going to disable Periodical Processing Options and use “real” (i.e. server) cron jobs instead.

Order Status History Options

Please note that plugin must be enabled at the time order gets its initial status. If you open order’s admin edit page, you should see “Order Status History” meta box:

Order Status History – Empty

Order Status Rules for WooCommerce - Order Status History - Empty

Order Status History – Filled

Order Status Rules for WooCommerce - Order Status History - Filled

Empty order status history

Plugin must be enabled at the time order status change occurs, so there is no order status change history on initial plugin install. This can be solved by using order creation (or modification) date instead (i.e. instead of real status change date). This is ignored for orders with available real status change history. Possible values: Do nothing; Use order date created; Use order date modified.

Default value: Use order date modified

Non-matching order status

If order status is not properly changed (e.g. by some plugin), it may happen that current order status does not match the last record in order status change history. In this case order status rules will not be applied. You can change this behaviour here. Possible values: Do nothing; Use latest record anyway.

Default value: Do nothing

Periodical Processing Options

Although it’s possible to enable both periodical processing options, we recommend enabling only one of them.

If you are going to disable both periodical processing options, you may want to enable the Allow rules processing via URL option and set up “real” (i.e. server) cron job. Also you can use our “Run all rules now” tool manually.

Use WP cron

This will use WordPress crons to process the rules periodically.

Default value: yes

WP cron > Interval

Possible values: Once every minute; Once every 15 minutes; Once every 30 minutes; Once hourly; Twice daily; Once daily; Once weekly.

Default value: Once hourly

Use Action Scheduler

This will use Action Scheduler to process the rules periodically. Action Scheduler has a built in “administration screen” for monitoring, debugging and manually triggering scheduled actions. Search for the alg_wc_order_status_rules_process_rules_as hook there.

Default value: no

Action scheduler > Interval

Interval in seconds.

Default value: 3600
