Force order status updates

Hi @beermonsteruk,

You need to be hitting the correct WooCommerce endpoints rather than updating a value in the database directly.

The WooCommerce REST API documentation is here – https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#introduction.

To update the stock quantity for a product you’ll want to update the product like so – https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#update-a-product.

To update the status of an order you’ll want to go with this – https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#update-an-order.

Cheers

Thanks @luminus, I don’t have a clue how to use any of that, the 3rd party software I use uses bridge2cart so I don’t think it’s something that could be changed, is there no other way of updating it, something like a cron

@beermonsteruk,

If you want to do this with a cron job, you’ll need to write a custom script to do so. I’d recommend speaking to your developer about this and the options I provided above.

If you don’t have a go-to developer, we highly recommend contacting one of the services on our customizations page: https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

@beermonsteruk,

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
