Adding a WooCommerce Custom Order Status

Here are the steps to add a custom order status to your WooCommerce store. They are pretty easy steps, so you won’t have any problems following through even if you are new to WooCommerce.

Step 1: Get the Booster WooCommerce plugin. While you can get the free version from the WordPress Plugins repository, you need to get the elite bundle.

Once you’ve got the plugin, install and activate it just like you would with every other regular WordPress plugin.

After installation and activation, navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Booster. Here you will find all the modules the plugin comes with, including custom order status.

Step 2: Again navigate to Booster → Shipping and orders → Custom order statuses

This is where you get to add and customize your custom order status.

If you wish to add custom statuses to admin reports, enable the checkbox here.

You can set up custom emails to be send when orders status changes to custom status you’ve created. For that you need to enable and configure Custom Emails module.

Please note that, when setting Default Order Status option, some standard WooCommerce emails may stop sending. For example, triggers for the new order email to admin are, when order status changes:

  • from pending to processing
  • from pending to completed
  • from pending to on-hold
  • from failed to processing
  • from failed to completed
  • from failed to on-hold

and for customer’s on-hold order email:

  • from pending to on-hold
  • from failed to on-hold

By default, in WooCommerce default order status is set to “pending”, so if you change that, some order emails may be never triggered. For example, to continue sending two emails described above, you need to set the “Default Order Status” option to either “pending” or to “no changes”.

Removing a WooCommerce Custom Order Status

To remove a custom order status, navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Booster Settings. Here, disable the order status module.
