Order Status “Processing” to Send Gift Card Code

By default, we only send the gift card email once the order has been marked Complete. Follow these instructions to create and email the gift card when the order is received instead:

1. Download the functions.php from your FTP server at /wp-content/themes/<your theme>/functions.php
2. Keep a backup of functions.php in case there are problems.
3. Edit functions.php and scroll to the very end and add this code.

Note: if the last line is “?>” then put this code *above* that line. Otherwise, this code goes at the very end of the file:

function custom_woocommerce_order_status_processing( $order_id, $order ) {
    global $pw_gift_cards_purchasing;

    $pw_gift_cards_purchasing->add_gift_cards_to_order( $order_id, $order, "order_id: $order_id completed" );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_processing', 'custom_woocommerce_order_status_processing', 11, 2 );

4. Save the functions.php file and re-upload it to your server.

If you have any problems, replace functions.php with your backup file.
