Advanced Custom Order Status for WooCommerce

Advanced Custom Order Status for WooCommerce gives you complete control over your WooCommerce order statuses. The default WooCommerce statuses (Processing, On Hold, Completed, etc.) rarely fit every store. With this plugin, you can build a fulfillment workflow that mirrors how your business actually operates – whether you ship physical goods, deliver digital products, run a print-on-demand shop, or manage a service-based store.

Add as many custom order statuses as you need, assign distinct colors so your team can scan the orders screen at a glance, and (in Pro) attach action buttons, icons, sales reports, and automatic email notifications to each status.

Why use Advanced Custom Order Status?

• Match your real workflow – replace generic statuses with ones like “Packed”, “Out for Delivery”, “Awaiting Payment Confirmation”, or anything else your team uses.
• Identify orders faster – color-coded statuses let staff scan the orders list and spot what needs attention without reading every row.
• Customize the defaults too – rename and recolor built-in WooCommerce statuses (everything except the slug) so the whole status system feels consistent.
• Lightweight and clean – no bloat, no settings overload, no impact on store performance.

Free Features

• Customize the appearance of default WooCommerce order statuses.
• Assign a unique color to each order status for instant visual recognition.
