How to reduce stock automatically even if order is pending

  • Hi,

    I am using a local payment gateway which works just fine with the IPN. When someone chooses to pay by cash the order is on “Payment pending” status, which does not work for me because I give my customers 2 days to pay for the order, and in the meantime the stock is not reduce automatically.

    This does happen if people choose the BAC option. So, if someone chooses to pay by BAC, the stock is reduced. In the meantime, other people can’t buy what they haven’t paid for yet.

    How can I make orders in “Payment pending” status to reduce the available stock automatically?

    My local payment gateway offers my customer to pay in cash or credit card. When they use credit card the stock is reduced automatically. When they choose cash, it is not. The IPN works ok. WooCommerce receives the note stating the customer hasn’t paid yet but should do it soon.

    Thanks in advance.

    Modify your gateway and make it set the order ‘on-hold’ whilst waiting for payment confirmation.

    Hi,

    Thanks for answering.
    Well that wouldn’t work for me. The gateway is like PayPal, but local (for my country). So I can’t change that.

    Is there any way to bypass the “Payment pending” status and go straight to “On hold”? That would solve my problem.

    Thanks again.

    What do you mean it ‘won’t work’. The payment gateway plugin code controls the statuses. If it’s not setting to on-hold, and it’s leaving it pending, it’s handling this wrong.

    Thanks again for answering.

    I did manage for it to change to “on-hold” by editing the php. Sorry, that was my bad.

    Anyway, it still doesn’t do what I was aiming for: reduce the stock.

    When someone pays by BAC the order is “on hold” and the stock is reduced. I need this here too. “Pending payment” is correct, but I need the stock to be reduced. Otherwise someone else could buy something that other person is going to pay for in cash.

    Thanks again for your help.
