WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier 1.1.0
Wordpress Plugins WooCommerce.com 4.8 (2.5K reviews)
The WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier is an extension created by WooThemes for store owners who manage a large number of orders every day. It adds a faster way to change order status without going through the usual multi-step process. The orders list includes an action column that holds the notifier controls. Those same controls appear on the order screen when you open an individual order. When you trigger a change, a small dialog opens. In that dialog you pick the new order status, add a comment if you want, and decide whether an email should go out to the customer. That choice exists for a reason. Some status changes are internal housekeeping, while others are important updates for the buyer. The plugin keeps those two functions separate, letting you update the order silently or send a notification with one click. You no longer need to switch between screens just to adjust an order's progress.
The status change dialog is the centerpiece of the plugin. It appears right where you are working, whether that is the order list or the order edit screen. The dialog shows all available order statuses from your store's setup, so you don't have to remember custom slugs or codes. Select the status you need, and if there is something worth recording, type it in the comment field. That comment becomes part of the order's history, giving you and your team a clear trail of what changed and why. The notification decision sits right next to the status selection, which makes it easy to stay consistent. You can also choose to send the customer an email that includes the comment you wrote, giving them context instead of a bare status label. The comment field is optional, so you can keep updates quick when no explanation is needed. Everything happens in one place, so there's less back-and-forth and fewer accidental updates.
Outbound email notifications are the other major piece of this extension. When you choose to notify the customer, the plugin sends an email that reflects the new order status. The message is not a generic alert; it can carry the specific note you added in the dialog, so the customer sees exactly what changed and why. Store owners who prefer a more tailored experience can include those order status change notes in their existing custom email notifications. That means you're not locked into a default template. The plugin works alongside WooCommerce's email system, letting the status note travel into whatever notification format you already use. This keeps the customer informed without forcing them to log in and check the order page. It also reduces the number of what's going on with my order? inquiries, since the email arrives right after the status change. The email goes out automatically, so you don't have to compose a separate message.

For anyone running a WooCommerce store, order status updates are a daily routine. This plugin makes that routine faster by putting the controls directly in the order list and order page. You still have full control over when a customer hears about a change, and you can attach a meaningful note to every update. The comment feature is useful for internal teams too, since it records the reasoning behind a status shift. Having outbound email notifications tied to the status change means the information flows to the customer at the exact moment it happens, not later when someone remembers to send it. The notifier works within the normal WooCommerce order workflow, so there's no extra setup to learn. It simply gives order management a bit more speed and a lot more clarity. You can handle the entire process without leaving the order screen. The plugin was built by WooThemes, so it matches WooCommerce's existing behavior.
