    How does WordPress or Woocommerce know which order is being paid for? Session ID? Anyone please share any bit of info. Any info is always warmly welcomed.

    Hi there!

    When the user proceeds to checkout using PayPal or Stripe or any other integrated payment method, the integration itself will manage the order and change the status to processed once the payment is received on the selected payment method.

    For example, PayPal uses IPN to communicate with your WooCommerce store.

    This only works with online payment methods, won’t work with the check method, as you need to manually check if it was paid and then change the order status.

    You can find more information here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/#section-1

    Hope that helps!

    Hi @midnqp. Sorry that we missed your last response.

    Is your questions regarding bank transfer payments or some other method?

    Hi @midnqp, We haven’t heard from you in a while so I’m going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. I hope you’ve managed to resolve the issue, but if you still need help with it or have any other questions about the WooCommerce plugin, please start a new thread.
