Auto process paid orders instead of auto complete in WooCommerce

Question

I have 2 payment gateways in woocommerce, cash on delivery and credit card.

After the client sends the order with cash, i get the order status to processing. BUT, after they pay with credit card and payment is succesfull the order status goes to complete.

How can i make the order status to say processing after they paid with the card? And only after they received the goods, the shop manager can set the order status to complete.

Check documentation of gateway, they might have a setting or filter/hooks — funkysoul

Try to use the following, which will set paid orders status to processing by default:

add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status', 'wc_auto_complete_paid_order', 10, 3 );
function wc_auto_complete_paid_order( $status, $order_id, $order ) {
    return 'processing';
}

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme).
