Question

In WooCommerce, Allow customer to change order status in WooCommerce answer to my previous question, allows the customer to approve (complete) orders in "My Account" page, but I don't know how to add a note automatically, so when the Customer approves an order (order status is changed to completed), I want to automatically add a note for customer.

Is it possible to add a Note when customer approve an order and status is changed to "completed"?

If you want an order note for the customer, replace the following code line:

        // Change order status to "completed"
        $order->update_status( 'completed', __('Approved by the customer', 'woocommerce') ) ;

by:

        // Add an order note for the customer (blue background note in admin orders)
        $order->add_order_note( __('You have approved this order on', 'woocommerce') . ' ' . date_i18n( 'F j, Y' ), true );

        // Change order status to "completed"
        $order->update_status( 'completed', __('Approved by the customer', 'woocommerce') ) ;
