WP eStore: New Order Management Addon Plugin – Default Status (minor issue)

[Zain]

Hi,

Firstly, thanks a lot for creating this plugin – it’s just what I needed for the project I’m on. Perfect!

I’ve just tested it and there’s only 1 minor thing that I’ve noted:

The Status for the order seems to be set to “Complete” already. Not sure why. In theory, the first Status for any new order should be “Pending”, so that they can be easily identified. Any chance this could be changed?

Aside from that – great job! Another reason why I keep recommending you guys!

Keep up the great work.

Cheers,

Zain

Hi Zain,

I suspect you are using PayPal as the payment gateway – is that correct?

The plugin code is reading a parameter from the payment data and is setting the status accordingly – in this case if PayPal returns “Completed” then the plugin is using that value to set the status.

I can see how this is not ideal for physical product purchases because the merchant may not have shipped the product even though the payment is “Completed”.

We will look into the possibility of changing the default status of an order to “pending” or “processing”.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Peter,

Yup – that’s correct. Using PayPal for the eStore.

It’s not a major issue at the moment, as I’ve made my client aware of it so they know what to look out for (and check the dates of orders). Would be great if this was amended and I look forward to the changes in a future version of the plugin.

Thanks again for the great support.

Cheers,

Zain

We have made the proposed change in the latest version of the order management addon. Now all order will be set to “pending” status when it is first received.

Thanks for the update. And just in time too – I’ll download the new version and add it to my client’s site (we’re going live shortly!).

Cheers,

Peter/Admin,

I love the OM system, but I’ve got a situation where while the default is now set to Pending the status from download products coming from PayPal are also set to Pending when I would like them to display as complete (just like the status coming from PayPal). Thus, I have a need to change this default status for electronic downloads vs. physical products. Where is the configuration for this default status within Order Management? Does it show in each individual product? A little eguidance on how I can change the default status based on the product medium would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Ron

Are you selling a mixture of digital and physical items or just digital items?
