Change default order status

Hi mrcarlsen,

The order status transitions by default using a common practice and it’s the same on other WooCommerce payment plugins. I assume you disable “Capture charge immediately” option, because if you enable that and you only sell virtual products (no fulfillment took place) then you can achieve that without custom code.

However, if you want to override that via custom code, there’s an action called wc_gateway_stripe_process_response (see https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/blob/23d8d4baaa60881d3a94fc5fd6b1ddf0efd4e201/includes/class-wc-gateway-stripe.php#L889) that you can hook if you want to alter the order. One thing to note is the capture happens during order status transition (see https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/blob/23d8d4baaa60881d3a94fc5fd6b1ddf0efd4e201/woocommerce-gateway-stripe.php#L132-L135). Make sure it’s unhooked when you update the order status inside wc_gateway_stripe_process_response handler.

Hope this helps.
