Change default order statuses of cash and cheque.

  • I am trying to figure out a lightweight upgrade-safe way to change the default order statuses of cash and cheque payments. Currently cash (COD) defaults to ‘Processing’ and Cheque defaults to ‘On Hold’. The following code is taken from the woocommerce core gateway files.

    COD Gateway Relevant code:

    /**
     * Process the payment and return the result
     *
     * @param int $order_id
     * @return array
     */
	public function process_payment( $order_id ) {

		$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

		// Mark as processing (payment won't be taken until delivery)
		$order->update_status( 'processing', __( 'Payment to be made upon delivery.', 'woocommerce' ) );

		// Reduce stock levels
		$order->reduce_order_stock();

		// Remove cart
		WC()->cart->empty_cart();

		// Return thankyou redirect
		return array(
			'result' 	=> 'success',
			'redirect'	=> $this->get_return_url( $order )
		);
	}

    Cheque Gateway Relevant Code

    /**
     * Add content to the WC emails.
     *
     * @access public
     * @param WC_Order $order
     * @param bool $sent_to_admin
     * @param bool $plain_text
     */
	public function email_instructions( $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text = false ) {
        if ( $this->instructions && ! $sent_to_admin && 'cheque' === $order->payment_method && $order->has_status( 'on-hold' ) ) {
			echo wpautop( wptexturize( $this->instructions ) ) . PHP_EOL;
		}
	}

    /**
     * Process the payment and return the result
     *
     * @param int $order_id
     * @return array
     */
	public function process_payment( $order_id ) {

		$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

		// Mark as on-hold (we're awaiting the cheque)
		$order->update_status( 'on-hold', __( 'Awaiting cheque payment', 'woocommerce' ) );

		// Reduce stock levels
		$order->reduce_order_stock();

		// Remove cart
		WC()->cart->empty_cart();

		// Return thankyou redirect
		return array(
			'result' 	=> 'success',
			'redirect'	=> $this->get_return_url( $order )
		);
	}
}

    I am fairly sure I can just change ‘processing’ and ‘on-hold’ to pending. How can I do this in my theme functions. Also could I have automatic emails sent by the pending status? Thanks in advance!

  • Yes, you can just change it in the Gateway folder, but it would get overwritten if/when you update woocommerce. But, to do it in your functions.php file, put the following and change ‘processing’ to whatever you want the default status to be for ALL orders. I’m not sure how you’d modify it to apply to just cheque and/or COD orders, and not credit cards.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order' );
function custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order( $order_id ) {
    global $woocommerce;
     if ( !$order_id )
        return;
    $order = new WC_Order( $order_id );
    $order->update_status( 'processing' );
}

    Thanks for the reply, I have actually already done this. It was not a good solution for me as it messed with my paypal gateway and IPNs.
