Custom status after addiing Tracking No

I have the same need.

I think you are seeing “shipped” because you have “renamed complete to shipped” ??

In any event, the plugin has status ‘complete’ (wc-complete) HARD-CODED.

One solution would be to treat the “add shipping” new status checkbox to act more like the partially shipped checkbox – with the new status being a user-specified value instead of HARD-CODED. Alternatively, implement a filter to catch it – that filter could also be used for ‘partially-shipped’, thereby giving the user even more flexibility and control. However, the latter would not provide proper text in the “add shipping” meta-boxes, so a combination would be best.

In my case, I have a custom status (from a different plugin) of fully-shipped. This is useful because it does not trigger actions/filters that are tied to “new-status is complete” when such is not desired.

There are MANY business models that require post-shipment order activity.
Not everything is “gimme money, we’ll mail you crap’.

These include (there are many more):
1. B2B with payment after-the-fact (eg. invoicing net 30).
2. Post-shipment installation support (here’s your stuff – we’ll call you).
3. Post-shipment upsells.

All of them require status OTHER than “completed” after all shipment(s) are made. Some of them require multiple order statuses between shipped and complete – but that’s not your problem, and is handled by other plugins and business activities.

The problem is that you have hard-coded ‘complete’ because of your narrow view of how people use WooCommerce.

All that’s needed to totally solve this issue is to NOT trigger all the actions that setting status=complete does. This involves adding one option and using it in place of the hard-coded ‘complete’ constant in 2-3 places in your code. The option should use a drop-down list of values populated from the wc_get_order_statuses() function call. Obviously the default value of the option would be ‘complete’.

It appears that you do not know what “hard-coded” means.
THIS is ‘hard-coded’ (and likely not all occurrences of it in the plugin):
class-wc-advanced-shipment-tracking.php lines 582, 637, 999, 1096:
$order->update_status(‘completed’);

You are assuming that “no matter what” the order should be marked as ‘completed’ if all items have been shipped. That is extremely presumptuous on your part as I outlined in my previous reply. ‘completed’ is defined in Woo as “no further actions need to be done for this order”. I’m not sure, but it seems to me that this actually conflicts with your own “Delivered” status that I think is returned by TrackShip if in use.

Something similar to the following needs to be done:

Add this after line 297 (and supporting code in admin and maybe elsewhere):
$wc_ast_status_fully_shipped = get_option(‘wc_ast_status_fully_shipped’);

and change the lines noted above to be:
$order->update_status($wc_ast_status_fully_shipped);

A typical user-created custom status for the above value would be ‘fully-shipped’,
thereby allowing the site’s applicable business rules to be executed.

Of course, this may not be 100% correct, but a programmer will understand
the issue and what needs to be done.

WooCommerce ALSO does not have “delivered” or “Partially Shipped” order statuses – but you add THOSE.
