Change order status in Direct Bank Transfer, how to cancel?

Question

WooCommerce

Hello, friends! I set the standard payment method "Direct bank transfer" when the buyer selects this method and makes a purchase, in the admin panel, first the status is "Pending payment" and immediately changes to "On hold".
How can I make sure that this status does not change but is "Pending payment"?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

WooCommerce has a woocommerce_thankyou_{payment_method} dynamic hook that fires after checkout. This allows you to target a specific payment method, as in your case:

function bacs_order_status( $order_id ) 
{
    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

    if ( in_array( $order->get_status(), [ 'on-hold', 'pending',  ] ) ) {
        $order->update_status( 'processing' );
    } else {
        return;
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou_bacs', 'bacs_order_status', 10, 1 );

Change to the status you want.

You need to write your own payment plugin, implementing the correct status in it.
