Magento 2 provides a set of default statuses, which may vary depending on version and installed payment modules (e.g., PayPal adds additional statuses): Received, Suspected Fraud, Processing, Pending Payment, Payment Review, Pending, On Hold, Complete, Closed, Canceled, Rejected, PayPal Canceled Reversal, Pending PayPal, PayPal Reversed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These statuses help merchants track the progress of each order through the fulfillment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Change Order Status in Magento 2 Manually in the Admin Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the Magento 2 admin panel, you can only manually change the order status to On Hold<\/em> or Canceled<\/em>. All other statuses depend on payment method, payment status, shipping, and refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Steps to change order status to Canceled <\/em>or On hold <\/em>status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Step-by-step guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Open the Magento 2 Orders grid page.<\/li>
    2. Use checkboxes to select the orders you want to change the status of.<\/li>
    3. Choose the Cancel<\/em> or Hold <\/em>option from the Actions drop-down.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      How to Change Order Status in Magento 2 Programmatically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We will create a Magento 2 model CompleteOrder<\/code> that will change the order status to Complete<\/em>. It leverages the Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order<\/code> model to retrieve the order by its ID, update the order’s state and status, and then save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>
      <?php\nnamespace Vendor\\CompleteOrder\\Model;\n\nuse Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order;\n\nclass CompleteOrder\n{\n    private $order;\n\n    public function __construct(Order $order)\n    {\n        $this->order = $order;\n    }\n\n    public function execute($orderId)\n    {\n        $order = $this->order->load($orderId);\n\n        $order->setState(Order::STATE_COMPLETE)\n              ->setStatus(Order::STATE_COMPLETE)\n              ->save();\n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      The code below shows how you can use the model. Simply provide the order ID as an argument to the execute method, and the class will handle the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>
      $orderComplete = $objectManager->create(\\Vendor\\CompleteOrder\\Model\\CompleteOrder::class)\n$orderId = 1;\n$orderComplete->execute($orderId);\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      This is a simple code example of how to change order status programmatically in Magento 2. However, in real-world scenarios, it’s important to consider the current status of the order before changing it to Complete<\/em>. Depending on your business process, you may need to create a shipment or generate an invoice before setting the order as completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      How to Change Order Status in Magento 2 (REST API Method)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      To update the order status via Magento 2 Rest API, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      1. Get Bear access token from the Magento store using the following request:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>
        curl -X POST \"https:\/\/magento-store.com\/rest\/V1\/integration\/admin\/token\" \\\n-H \"Content-Type: application\/json\" \\\n-d '{\n  \"username\": \"admin_username\",\n  \"password\": \"admin_password\"\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
        1. Replace the placeholders with the actual token and with the specific order ID in the request below:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          <\/div>
          curl -X POST \"https:\/\/magento-store.com\/rest\/V1\/orders\" \\\n-H \"Content-Type: application\/json\" \\\n-H \"Authorization: Bearer <access-token>\" \\\n-d '{\n \"entity\": {\n   \"entity_id\": <orderId>,\n    \"status\": \"canceled\",\n    \"state\": \"canceled\"\n }\n}'\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
          By using this Magento 2 API, you can also change other order fields, making it a powerful tool for order management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          How to Change Order Status in Magento 2 Automatically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          One efficient way to automate order status updates in Magento 2 is by using the Magento 2 Auto Invoice & Shipment Extension<\/a>. This extension can automatically generate invoices and shipments, which triggers an automatic change in the order status to Processing<\/em> or Complete<\/em>, depending on the fulfillment stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          Key features of this extension include:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
          \n
          Bulk Invoice and Shipment<\/strong>

          \n
          Flexible Rules<\/strong>
          You can configure specific rules to specify when and how invoices and shipments are created automatically. These rules allow you to set conditions based on payment methods, order status, or other criteria, ensuring that your workflow aligns with your business needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
          \n
          \n
          Support for Partial Invoices and Shipments<\/strong>

          Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          Why can\u2019t I change the order status directly to Complete?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          Magento restricts the Complete<\/strong> status because it should only be applied when an order has been fully invoiced and shipped. To set it programmatically, you must do it through custom code or an integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          Can I force an order status update through the API?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          Yes \u2014 but Magento requires that the state<\/code> and status<\/code> pair be valid.
          For example, you cannot set status = complete<\/code> unless the order state supports it or workflow rules are bypassed programmatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          How can I automate order status changes in Magento 2?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          You can use automation tools such as the Auto Invoice & Shipment Extension for Magento 2<\/a>, which automatically generates invoices and shipments. This triggers automatic status changes and reduces manual admin work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
