Map order statuses to your store's process

Custom Order Status Manager for WooCommerce Premium lets you organize orders around your fulfillment steps. Create unlimited statuses, edit them as your process changes, or remove ones you no longer need. Set a label, icon, or text color for each status, and add a status column to the WooCommerce order list so staff can review progress.

For made-to-order products, statuses might track production, quality checks, and dispatch. A service business might use received, scheduled, in progress, and completed. These labels help staff see where an order stands in the process.

Connect payment methods and timed transitions

Set default statuses for payment methods, including default and third-party methods, to define how orders enter your workflow. The Premium edition also supports automatic custom status transitions by time interval, so an order can move through a defined sequence as time passes.

You can enable email notifications for clients or administrators. To enable a custom status email template, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Email, select the template for that status, enable it, and save your changes.

Use status changes in reports and stock handling

The Premium edition can display order information in WooCommerce Reports and increase or decrease stock levels when an order status changes. Configure these settings to match the workflow your store uses.

Create a custom status

Install and activate the extension, then open WooCommerce > Order Status. Select Add New, enter a title and a unique slug, then publish the status. After creating it, set its label, icon, or text color as needed.
