woocommerce_order_status_completed not triggered

Question

I want to write a custom plugin that does some action after woocommerce order is completed, but I can't get this hook to work. I can see this question asked many times.

Like here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/134463/woocommerce-order-status-completed-action-hook-not-working

Here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce_order_status_completed-is-not-working

And here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce_order_status_completed-action-hook-not-working

But I cannot help myself with answers that these guys received.

I tried to add the action a few different ways:

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'ikwoocommerceorderstatuscompleted_func');

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', array($this,'ikwoocommerceorderstatuscompleted_func'), 10, 1);

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', array(&$this,'ikwoocommerceorderstatuscompleted_func'), 10, 1);

Also tried with a class:

class IKHooks {
    function __construct() {
        add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', array($this,'ikwoocommerceorderstatuscompleted_func'), 10, 1);
    }

    public function ikwoocommerceorderstatuscompleted_func( $order_id ) {

    }
}

I even tried to put the action outside of the class:

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', array(IKHooks,'ikwoocommerceorderstatuscompleted_func'), 10, 1);

None of these examples work. :(

Answer 1

Check the following steps before calling your hook.

1. Check if order completion email is sent.

2. Hook is properly registered in plugin file or theme functions.php

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed','callback_function_name' );

function callback_function_name(){
  global $wp_filter;
  print_r($wp_filter);
  exit;
}

Check if the name of your callback function is in the hook array:

[woocommerce_order_status_completed] => Array
    (
        [10] => Array
            (
                [wc_paying_customer] => Array
                    (
                        [function] => wc_paying_customer
                        [accepted_args] => 1
                    )

                [wc_downloadable_product_permissions] => Array
                    (
                        [function] => wc_downloadable_product_permissions
                        [accepted_args] => 1
                    )

                [callback_function_name] => Array
                    (
                        [function] => callback_function_name
                        [accepted_args] => 3
                    )

            )

    )

If you find it then everything is ok, it means that probably there's an issue with your theme or functions.php file. Check for the hook or callback function in your files and then look for remove_action or remove_all_actions that's probably what's preventing your hook from being called.

You can also check in this way

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'callback_function_name', 1);

Change the priority of your hook from 10 to 1 so it is called first than any other action or hook.

Answer 2

You can use this hook

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_changed', 'your_function', 99, 4 );

And the function will look like

function your_function( $order_id, $old_status, $new_status, $order ){
    if( $new_status == "completed" ) {
        //your code here
    }
}

Hope this will be helpful.

I faced the similar issue earlier and solved it as:

Following code update the order status as completed

add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'your_wc_autocomplete_order' );

function your_wc_autocomplete_order( $order_id ) {

 if ( ! $order_id ) {
   return;
 }

 $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );

 $order->update_status( 'completed' );

}

Once order is completed, if you want to do something, see the following code:

add_action('woocommerce_order_status_completed','payment_complete');

function payment_complete($order_id)
{
   //global $items;
   //$order = new WC_Order($order_id);
   // do something ...
}

Hopefully, it will work :)

Answer 4

woocommerce_order_status_changed and woocommerce_order_status_completed actually work for me. After struggling for 2 days i realized that you just can't var_dump or var_export or print_r or whatever in the admin panel, it just won't work.

So if you are a newbie like me and thought those actions weren't working, just try triggering another action like sending a mail for example.

This code works:

function your_function( $order_id ){
   $order = new WC_Order( $order_id );
    $to_email = 'testing_mail@sample.com';
    $payment = $order->get_payment_method_title();
    $headers = 'From: Your Name <Your_site_mail@address.com>' . "\r\n";
    wp_mail($to_email, 'subject', $payment, $headers );
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'your_function');

Answer 5

Try using action hook woocommerce_order_status_changed.
It takes 4 parameters. order id, old status new status and order. Further code reference HERE

This may not be exactly suitable to your requirement, but seems to be worth of an alternative. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

I think you might be after this guy. woocommerce_payment_complete

function mysite_woocommerce_payment_complete( $order_id ) {
    error_log( "Payment has been received for order $order_id", 0 );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'mysite_woocommerce_payment_complete' );
