If you need to add some custom order statuses to your WooCommerce store, we suggest checking our Order Status for WooCommerce plugin.
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 History – Filled
Advanced Options
- Use WP cron
- This will use WordPress crons to process the rules. If you are going to disable this option, make sure you have enabled Allow rules processing via URL option and have set up “real” (i.e. server) cron job instead. Otherwise your only option is to Run all rules now tool manually.

- Allow rules processing via URL
- This will allow to initiate all rules processing via URL:

- Default:
- On empty order status change history
- Plugin must be enabled at the time order status change occurs, so there is no order status change history on initial plugin install.

Tom is a living legend. I have been manually processing orders for years, I was never able to use the auto-complete code snippets floating around on the web as some of my orders are back orders which need to be manually processed.
I dropped a comment just hours ago, and within the same day Tom added a stock status conditional rule, allowing me to auto-complete in stock orders, and leave backordered orders alone, or change their status to something separate.
This man has literally changed my life today. I cannot thank him enough for his fast work!
Tom Anbinder –
Thank you, Vladimiro!
