Cannot see custom status

The setting in your screenshot shows a list of emails, but you mention a custom status. Is it possible you have not created an email for the custom status yet?

Hi @pomegranate

You mean email under Screenshot

which is woocommerce >> settings >> emails ?

Correct, as you can see, all the order emails listed on that page are also listed in the “Attach to” setting of our plugin. In your emails screenshot I don’t see any emails for custom statuses, so that’s why our plugin cannot attach the PDF to it.

I have a custom status called “Shipped”. As you have already seen, I do not have an email for the same.
Is it possible to generate invoice as soon as the order status is changed to this custom status “Shipped”? I do not wish to send this invoice on email, I just want to generate it on the system.

Hello @onlinetravelgear,

Try with this code snippet:

/**
 * Generate an invoice when changing the order status to "Shipped"
 */
add_action('woocommerce_order_status_shipped', 'wpo_wcpdf_create_invoice_number_when_shipped');
function wpo_wcpdf_create_invoice_number_when_shipped ( $order_id ) {
	$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
	$invoice = wcpdf_get_document( 'invoice', $order, true );
}

If you haven’t worked with code snippets (actions/filters) or functions.php before, read this guide: How to use filters

Let us know if it works! ??
