Woocommerce - update order status without sending customer email

Question

I am currently using

$order = new WC_Order($order_id);
$order->update_status('completed', 'Order has been delivered.'); 

to update the order status, but it sends the customer an email. I have hundreds of old customers and I don’t want to be emailed when I update my status. Is there an alternative way to change order status without sending emails?

Answer 1

WooCommerce by default provides the ability to disable full email notification of orders. Here you can find the settings.

Set up WooCommerce to turn off email notifications

, , , WooCommerce Autocomplete Order functions.php, "wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/:":

/**  * WooCommerce.  */

add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order' );
function custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order( $order_id ) { 
    if ( ! $order_id ) {
        return;
    }

    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    $order->update_status( 'completed' );
}
