woocommerce custom order status

Hey mary301187,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You can use the wc_order_statuses filter from the wc_get_order_statuses function (below) to adjust the available statuses but we are not sure how will the changes affect the order process.

/**
 * Get all order statuses.
 *
 * @since 2.2
 * @used-by WC_Order::set_status
 * @return array
 */
function wc_get_order_statuses() {
	$order_statuses = array(
		'wc-pending'    => _x( 'Pending payment', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
		'wc-processing' => _x( 'Processing', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
		'wc-on-hold'    => _x( 'On hold', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
		'wc-completed'  => _x( 'Completed', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
		'wc-cancelled'  => _x( 'Cancelled', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
		'wc-refunded'   => _x( 'Refunded', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
		'wc-failed'     => _x( 'Failed', 'Order status', 'woocommerce' ),
	);
	return apply_filters( 'wc_order_statuses', $order_statuses );
}

Example:

add_filter('wc_order_statuses', function($statuses) {
  $statuses['wc-custom-status'] = _x( 'Custom', 'Custom status', 'woocommerce' ),
  return $statuses;
}, 10, 1);

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Did you add the filter?

add_filter('wc_order_statuses', function($statuses) {
    $statuses['wc-custom-status'] = _x( 'Custom', 'Custom status', 'woocommerce' );
    return $statuses;
}, 10, 1);

After adding the filter, try to edit any of the existing orders and set its status to “Custom status”.

Best regards,
Ismael
