TL;DR #
- In General Settings, choose the Default Order Status for new orders.
- In Payment Methods, optionally map gateway → status.
- In Add New Status, set title, slug, icon, colors, actions, and (optional) email.
General Settings #
Open Bright Plugins → Order Status Settings → General Settings. Use this tab to set the Default Order Status that applies when a new order is created.
Payment Methods (gateway → status) #
Go to the Payment Methods tab. For each gateway, you can select a default status that will be applied when an order is created with that method.
Add New Status (essentials) #
Path: WooCommerce → Orders → Order Status → Add New. Create a status that is easy to recognize and quick to apply.
Title & Slug #
Keep the name clear and the slug lowercase (no spaces).
Icon, Colors & Status View #
Add an icon, choose Color and Text Background Color, and decide how it appears in lists via Status View (Name vs Icon).
Actions & Bulk actions #
Enable the status in single-order actions and bulk menus so your team can apply it quickly.
(Optional) Paid & Download Access #
Turn these on only if they match your business logic.
(Optional) Email notification #
Notify customers (or admins) when the status is applied.
Where it shows up (Orders) #
After saving, the status appears as a badge in the Status column and is available in both single-order actions and Bulk actions.
