WooCommerce Order Status Manager is a plugin that allows you to create, edit, and delete custom order statuses and seamlessly integrate them into your WooCommerce order management flow.

With this plugin, you can customize your order status to fit your store’s specific needs, making it easier to manage orders and keep your customers informed about the status of their purchases.

One of the key features of the WooCommerce Order Status Manager plugin is the ability to add new order statuses and select an icon to display in the orders list. This replaces the standard text badge for a status name and can help you quickly identify the status of your orders.

You can also add action buttons if this status will be used as the “next status” by another status in your order flow.

Additionally, you can edit core WooCommerce order statuses and add “next statuses”. For example, you can add a custom status as a next status for “processing” orders, which will display your custom status action button for any processing order.

This makes order management simple, fast, and easy to use, as custom statuses are completely integrated into the orders workflow.

The plugin also allows you to add new order emails based on order status changes, including changes with custom order statuses.

These emails can be edited and enabled in your WooCommerce email lists, or the template can be overridden in your theme for greater control over the content.

This feature helps keep your customers informed about the status of their orders, reducing frustration and increasing customer satisfaction.

Another useful feature of the WooCommerce Order Status Manager plugin is the ability to display status information to customers.

Customers can be frustrated by order management when they don’t know where their orders are. While your statuses are meant to help in your fulfillment workflow, displaying a status like “Manufactured” or “Assembling” doesn’t tell customers anything.

With this plugin, you can set a description for any status (including core statuses) that will be shown to customers when they mouse over the order status.

Incompatible plugins:

The WooCommerce Order Status Manager plugin allows you to create custom order statuses and integrate them into your WooCommerce order management flow. However, some plugins may cause issues with sending emails related to custom statuses.

For instance, the Booster for WooCommerce and Booster Plus for WooCommerce plugins may prevent the core WooCommerce “On hold” emails from sending.

Additionally, the Disable Admin Notices Individually plugin may remove the email settings link. Therefore, it is recommended that you deactivate these plugins if you experience issues with custom emails being dispatched.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter problems with custom emails being dispatched, it is advisable to check the WooCommerce Email settings to ensure that you have enabled them.

By default, the plugin leaves the email settings disabled, giving you a chance to edit the subject line and email content.

However, to send the email, you need to enable it. If you are still experiencing issues after enabling the email settings, you can troubleshoot by deactivating any incompatible plugins that may be interfering with the custom email dispatch.

With features such as new order statuses, action buttons, and new order emails, you can tailor orders to your store and help to automate your order management.
