 * Hello,
 * How can I change the default order status of COD to on-hold? I need to do a manual
   verification before changing it as processing.
    I tried to add filter to `woocommerce_thankyou`,
   it works but the problem is before making the status as on-hold, the email of
   processing order is already sent to the customer, I want to send the order processing
   only after my manual verification is done and I change the status to processing.
 * I appreciate your help.
 * Thanks

 * Hi there,
 * You could do so with some custom coding as discussed in our repo here:
