YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status

YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status

Order management is a critical aspect that can either make or break an online store’s reputation. The YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status plugin is a fantastic tool that empowers eCommerce store owners to manage their order statuses more effectively and intuitively, ultimately enhancing user experience and overall shop functionality.

This plugin does not only provide advanced management of every order status, but it also allows creating ad hoc, custom, and unlimited order statuses according to the specific requirements of your eCommerce.

Even if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll find it straightforward to create and manage custom order statuses. This is a clear reflection of YITH’s commitment to providing not only powerful but also accessible tools for WooCommerce store owners.

Beyond “Processing” and “Completed”

The Problem: By default, WooCommerce lumps everything into generic buckets like “Processing” or “Completed.” But what if your store manufactures custom bicycles? You might need statuses like “Frame Assembly,” “Wheel Balancing,” “Paint Cure,” and “Final Inspection” before declaring an order truly “Delivered.”

The Solution: With YITH Custom Order Status, you can create unlimited steps so instead of “Processing,” your workshop team sees “Frame Welding,” and your paint shop sees “Color Coating,” each with its own color and icon for instant at-a-glance clarity.

Features That Empower Your WooCommerce Store

The YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status plugin is packed with many powerful features designed to improve the overall operation of your online shop:

1. Create Custom Order Statuses: With this plugin, you can create countless order statuses, each identified by unique names and colors. This allows you to precisely manage the different phases of your order processing.
2. Freedom to Overwrite WooCommerce Order Status: This feature gives you the liberty to customize your order statuses as per your shop’s needs.
3. Identify Each Status with an Icon or a Textual Label: You can make your order statuses easily recognizable by associating each one with a specific icon or label.
4. Advanced Order Status Management: For each status, you can set certain actions to follow, allow order cancellation, allow the payment, and even consider the order paid. Moreover, you can let users download the associated files, show the status in the Actions column, and restock items in the order.
5. Customizable Emails for Each Status: Configure the settings to prepare emails for each custom status in just a few steps. This helps you to keep your customers informed about their order status in real-time.
6. Import Custom Statuses from Third-Party Plugins: This feature adds to the plugin’s flexibility, allowing you to import custom statuses from other plugins.
7. Integration with YITH WooCommerce Order Tracking: Enhance order management by integrating this plugin with YITH WooCommerce Order Tracking. This allows your customers to track the status of their products conveniently.

Integration with Other YITH Plugins

• YITH Desktop Notifications for WooCommerce: Enables custom desktop notifications every time your orders enter one of the statuses you created using the YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status.

• YITH Frontend Manager for WooCommerce: The integration allows showing and managing the custom statuses created for your orders also on the Orders section of the YITH Frontend Manager.

Improve Communication with Your Customers

Good communication is vital in any business, and the eCommerce sector is no different. This plugin can significantly improve the way you communicate with your customers. With customizable emails for each status, you can keep your customers updated about their order status in real time. This proactive communication can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, resulting in better business performance in the long run.

Each custom order status can trigger a unique email or SMS that reflects your brand’s voice and tone. For example, when an order hits “Meal Prep,” your message might say:

Your weekly subscription box is being freshly prepared by our chefs and will soon be packed for delivery.

Smarter Order Management with Analytics

The plugin enhances WooCommerce’s default reporting by letting you include custom statuses in your sales data. You can filter orders by custom status in the admin panel to locate bottlenecks, prioritize fulfillment, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. This is particularly valuable for high-volume stores or businesses with multi-step production or delivery processes.
