Set new order’s status automatically in hold!

/**
* Auto On hold all WooCommerce orders.
*/
function custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order( $order_id ) {
    if ( ! $order_id ) {
        return;
    }

    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    if( 'processing'== $order->get_status() ) {
        $order->update_status( 'on-hold' );
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order' );

Helo @mohitmishra

Thanks for your response. I’ve actually added the code you have provided to my functions.php file of the child theme but it didn’t work ??

I’m still getting incoming Woocommerce orders status as ‘Processing’ unfortunately!

Hello @alahyane Try this code I am sure this will help you paste this code into your themes’s functions.php

/**
* Auto On hold all WooCommerce orders.
*/
function custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order( $order_id ) {
    if ( ! $order_id ) {
        return;
    }

    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    if( 'processing'== $order->get_status() ) {
        $order->update_status( 'processing' );
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order' );

Hi @mohitmishra

I really wish I could say it worked but it didn’t, unfortunately!
I tried this code on two websites but each time the order status is always “Processing”!

I don’t know if this may help but orders on my website are placed without the need for payment. The customer will have to pay upon delivery.

Thank you,
Alahyane

Ohh sorry my fault @alahyane This is tested code this will help you

/**
* Auto On hold all WooCommerce orders.
*/
function custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order( $order_id ) {
    if ( ! $order_id ) {
        return;
    }

    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    if( 'processing'== $order->get_status() ) {
        $order->update_status( 'on-hold' );
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order' );

Helloo @mohitmishra

I’ve tested it and it worked, thank you so much ??
Now when an order is placed it automatically goes in hold!

Thanks again,
Alahyane
