How do I change a WooCommerce order status?

Short answer: You can update order in WooCommerce by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the WooCommerce Update Order action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Update Order.

What does the Update Order action do in WooCommerce?

Updates a WooCommerce order: status (e.g. mark as completed/refunded), shipping address, customer notes, or meta. The standard hook to push status from your fulfillment system back into Woo.

What inputs does Update Order require?

Required: Order ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if WooCommerce returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message WooCommerce returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Update Order support batch operations?

Run Update Order inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within WooCommerce's rate limits.
