Description
Octobyte COD Check gives shop owners an easy way to keep track of which Cash on Delivery orders shipping companies have paid out.
Check or uncheck a simple COD received marker from the orders list or order page. It does not change the WooCommerce order status or affect customer emails, tracking plugins, payment state, stock, or other custom store logic.
Your normal order workflow stays exactly the same.
The plugin:
- Adds a compact checkbox column immediately after order status for recognized COD orders.
- Lets administrators and shop managers check or uncheck the marker from the orders list or individual order page.
- Adds native COD received and COD not received filters to the existing orders screen.
- Includes bulk actions to mark or unmark selected COD orders while safely ignoring non-COD orders.
- Supports both High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the legacy orders screen.
- Lets developers recognize custom COD gateway IDs everywhere through a small filter hook.
- Stores one small, persistent marker on the order until it is manually unchecked.
- Is translation-ready through WordPress.org language packs.
There are no settings, external requests, background jobs, custom database tables, or frontend assets.

FAQ
-
Does checking the box mark the WooCommerce order as paid?
-
No. It records only the independent COD received marker. It does not invoke WooCommerce payment completion or change the order status.
-
Can I undo a click?
-
Yes. Uncheck the same box to remove the marker.
-
Can I filter orders by their COD received state?
-
Yes. Use the All COD states filter above the orders list and choose COD received or COD not received.
-
What happens if I bulk-select non-COD orders?
-
They are safely ignored. Only orders using a recognized COD payment method are changed.
-
Does it support custom COD payment gateways?
-
WooCommerce’s standard
codgateway works automatically. Developers can add other payment method IDs with theoctobyte_cod_check_payment_method_idsfilter:add_filter( 'octobyte_cod_check_payment_method_ids', function ( $methods ) { $methods[] = 'my_cod_gateway'; return $methods; } );The added gateway IDs are recognized by the column, inline and order-page markers, filters, and bulk actions.
-
What happens to the markers if I deactivate or delete the plugin?
-
The order metadata is preserved. Reinstalling the plugin makes the markers visible again.
-
Does it support HPOS?
-
Yes. The plugin uses WooCommerce order CRUD APIs and supports the HPOS and legacy orders lists.
