Description
Laqi Order Status Workflows handles repetitive order routing for you. Build a rule that runs when an order enters a WooCommerce status, add conditions, and choose what should happen next.
The free edition is the complete rule engine: unlimited rules, nested AND/OR condition groups, every condition field and action, and starter templates.
Conditions
- Shipping and billing country, shipping method, payment method, order total, currency, customer type, coupon, and item count.
- Product, category, tag, shipping class, and product attribute conditions.
- Customer order count and lifetime spend.
- Field-aware selectors for countries, gateways, products, coupons, categories, and other WooCommerce data.
Actions
- Move the order to another status.
- Add a private or customer-facing order note.
- Add or remove an order tag, assign a user, or set safe custom order meta.
- Send an email, webhook, or Slack/Teams message with order placeholders.
Built for safe operation
- Rules run through Action Scheduler and are checked again immediately before execution.
- A loop guard prevents status-change chains from running forever.
- Preview matches against recent orders before saving, or dry-run a saved rule against existing orders.
- Pause all automation without deleting your rules.
- Import and export rules as JSON.
- View recent rule activity and diagnostics.
- Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Cart & Checkout Blocks.
Laqi Order Status Workflows Pro
The paid edition adds time-in-status triggers, weekly scheduled sweeps with bounded background batches, reusable condition segments, conditional if/then/otherwise actions, multi-step sequences with per-step safety checks, previewed background application of saved rules with progress and cancellation, shadow mode for continuously observing what an active rule would do, and a searchable audit trail with safe undo for reversible actions. The free edition is fully functional without a licence or account.

Privacy and external services
The WordPress.org edition does not include a licensing SDK and does not contact Laqi Logistics or Freemius.
Webhook and Slack/Teams actions contact only the URL entered by a store administrator and send the message configured in that rule. Email actions use the site’s normal WordPress mail setup.
Source Code
The admin interface is compiled JavaScript and CSS. The uncompiled sources for everything in build/ are included in this package under assets/src/, package-lock.json pins the exact build dependencies, and webpack.config.js defines the entry point used to produce them.
To reproduce the compiled files from the plugin directory:
npm ci && npm run build
The build uses only @wordpress/scripts, the standard WordPress build toolchain, with no minifier or transform beyond its defaults.

FAQ
-
Does the free edition require an account or licence?
-
No. The WordPress.org edition includes no licensing SDK and requires no account, licence, or data-sharing choice.
-
What is the difference between the free and paid editions?
-
The free edition has no caps: unlimited rules, nested condition groups, every condition field and action. It reacts when an order enters a status and can dry-run saved rules against the backlog. The paid edition adds time-in-status triggers, weekly scheduled sweeps, signed inbound triggers for external systems, reusable condition segments, conditional if/then/otherwise actions, multi-step sequences, resumable background application to existing orders, continuous shadow-mode observation, and retained action history with safe undo for reversible actions.
-
Does it work with High-Performance Order Storage?
-
Yes. The plugin declares HPOS and Cart & Checkout Blocks compatibility and uses WooCommerce data APIs.
-
What happens when I uninstall the plugin?
-
Uninstall removes the plugin’s settings, rules, scheduled jobs, activity data, and bookkeeping order meta. It does not delete orders.
