Hello,
Could you help me what is the difference between cron and action scheduler?
When he cron runs does it go thru every order? Because it kind of creeples our server.
Is it possible to run a rule not cron based, but on order status change hook based?Thank you.

Hi, Zsuzsa,
Sorry for the late reply.
> Could you help me what is the difference between cron and action scheduler?
By default, Action Scheduler is initiated by WP-Cron, so there is not much difference. However, WooCommerce has a screen for monitoring action scheduler events in “WooCommerce > Status > Scheduled Actions”. To do that for standard WP cron, you would need to install an additional plugin, e.g., WP Crontrol.
> When he cron runs does it go thru every order?
Not exactly. The plugin goes only through orders with status matching one of the “Status from” options.
> Is it possible to run a rule not cron based, but on order status change hook based?
Yes. You need to go to “WooCommerce > Settings > Order Status Rules > Advanced”, disable both “Periodical Processing” options, and make sure that the “Rules processing hooks” option includes “Order status change”.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you’ll have any questions.
