WooCommerce: Let Customers Complete a Processing Order

An order can be marked as “completed” only by the WooCommerce store manager – manually. In certain cases, this operation may be automatic i.e. for downloadable orders.

However, what if we want our customers to complete (confirm) their processing order instead? Well, this is quite easy: we display a “CONFIRM ORDER” button under My Account > Orders, and on click some code triggers the status change. Enjoy!

If the order is in “processing” status, the customer now sees a new “Confirm Order” button. On click, the order is automatically marked as “completed”!

            'name' => __( 'Confirm Order', 'woocommerce' )
        );

        $order = wc_get_order( $_GET['confirm_order'] );
		$order->update_status( 'completed', 'Order confirmed by customer' );
    }
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

Hello, thanks, this worked very well. I have a scenario where I have a “Ready For Pickup” custom status, and another custom status called “Ready For Pickup – Reminder”. I made a change to the slug in the OG code and got it to work for one or the other statuses, but I would like to set this up for both. I tried adding a second cloned snippet and changing the order status slug, but it will not activate. Is there a way to add both status triggers in the same code snippet?

Thanks in advance.

  Brad, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!

Hello, Rodolfo. Great work as always!
I’m trying to create a button “Click me to complete this order” and place this on a private page, on the frontend, that managers have access. I already have the order object on this page. Any idea on how to run the
```
"$order->update_status( 'completed');
```
on the click of a button?
Thank you!
