Update order status
Set an order to pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded or failed.
PATCH https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/woocommerce/orders/{order_id}/status
write Confirm
Changes the status of one order. Allowed values are pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded and failed. WooCommerce sends the customer an email when an order is completed, and Cancelled returns line-item stock when inventory management is on. Setting Cancelled or Refunded does not refund the customer; use create_refund for that. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| order_id integer required | integer | Order ID from list_orders. |
| status enum required | enum | pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded or failed. |
