WooCommerce – Add custom button next to pay button on checkout page and set new order status on-hold

Hello guys how are you? Welcome back to my channel. Today in this post I am going to show you WooCommerce – Add custom button next to pay button on checkout page and set new order status on-hold.

Guys I have used both latest versions WordPress 6.3 and WooCommerce 8.1.

Guys here is the working code snippet and please use it carefully:

1. Guys here is the code snippet for set order status when user will click on on hold(custom button) and you need to add your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'init', 'register_on_hold_order_status' );

 function add_awaiting_hold_to_order_statuses( $order_statuses ) {
  $new_order_statuses = array();
  foreach ( $order_statuses as $key => $status ) {
    $new_order_statuses[ $key ] = $status;
    if ( 'wc-processing' === $key ) {
      $new_order_statuses['wc-on-hold'] = 'On Hold';
    }
  }
  return $new_order_statuses;
 }

2. Guys here is the code snippet for update order status and you also need to add this code into your theme’s funcutons.php file:

add_filter( 'wc_order_statuses', 'add_awaiting_hold_to_order_statuses' );
 function   therich_change_order_status( $order_id ) {  
  if ( ! $order_id ) {return;}            
  $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
  if( 'processing'== $order->get_status() ) {
    $order->update_status( 'wc-on-hold' );
  }
}
add_action('woocommerce_thankyou','therich_change_order_status');

This is it guys and if you will have any kind of query, suggestion or requirement then feel free to comment below.
