Update
May be this payment_complete()
is not involved in the process you are looking for. Alternatively, what you could try is the woocommerce_thankyou
action hook instead:
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'thankyou_order_status', 10, 1 );
function thankyou_order_status( $order_id ){
if( ! $order_id ) return;
$order = new WC_Order( $order_id ); // Get an instance of the WC_Order object
if ( $order->has_status( 'processing' ) )
$order-> update_status( 'pending' )
}
You can use the same alternative hook: woocommerce_thankyou_{$order->get_payment_method()}
(replacing $order->get_payment_method()
by the payment method ID slug)
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
This code is tested on Woocommerce 3+ and works.
Using a custom function hooked in woocommerce_valid_order_statuses_for_payment_complete
filter hook, where you will return the desired orders statuses that can be taken by the related function payment_complete()
which is responsible of auto change the order status.
By default the array of order statuses in the filter is:
array( 'on-hold', 'pending', 'failed', 'cancelled' ).
And we can remove 'on-hold' order status this way:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status', 'disable_auto_order_status', 10, 2 );
function disable_auto_order_status( $order_statuses, $order ) {
$return array( 'pending', 'failed', 'cancelled' );
}
