Magento Custom Order Status Manager Extension

The Order Status Extension allows you to hide the generic Magento order status and change the order status to include more useful information.


Improving Magento Order Grid

This extension displays two statuses: a payment status and a shipping status.

This gives customized order tracking information to show which orders have been shipped but not paid for, or paid for but not shipped, etc.

By using Magento Order Status Manager extension, you can easily track what goes into and what comes out of each status reports, including sorting orders by status.

Adding Order Status Categories

Custom Order Status Frequently Asked Questions

Please check the user guide to learn more about this plugin.

I need the original Magento order status to show, too. Can you do that?

Yes, we can preserve and display the default Magento order status, but this is considered custom labor and is subject to additional service charges.

To learn more about this feature see this Help article.

Do the new order status attributes change automatically when I ship or cancel an order?

During the extension configuration, you will specify how you wish order status attributes to change when you perform actions. If you prefer changes to be set automatically they can be set automatically, if you prefer them to be set manually they can be set manually too.

To learn more about this feature see this Help article.

What happens to Magento custom modules that rely on the Magento order status?

Since the default order status is still in the database, it will still be changed behind-the-scenes when you perform actions like shipping or canceling orders. Because of this, Magento custom modules that pull information from the default order status field should continue to work as usual.

What happens to order status data for previous store orders?

All previous order status data will be preserved in the database in case you ever need them. Unfortunately, we have no way to map the old statuses to new orders, so when you first install the module, you may need to set up some manual order statuses.

What happens to the original Magento order status field?

Once the extension is installed on your store, the default Magento orders status field will be hidden in your template, and will no longer be visible or accessible. In its place will be a new “Shipping Status” and “Payment Status,” which you can use to filter and view orders.

Can I change any order on my store to a custom order status?

Yes. The basic edition of the extension lets you create whatever custom order status you want. With the Pro and deluxe editions you can separate the order status into 2 different fields: payment and shipping, and then create a custom order status for each of these fields.
