Plugins / Laqi CSV Order Status Changer
Bulk-change WooCommerce order statuses by uploading a CSV, with live progress, a full result log, and a validate-only mode.
Laqi CSV Order Status Changer overview
A courier hands you a spreadsheet of delivered shipments. A payment provider confirms a batch of invoices. Now hundreds of WooCommerce orders need a status update, and clicking through them one by one is not a plan.
Laqi CSV Order Status Changer takes a two-column CSV (order ID, target status) and applies it for you: validated first if you want, streamed with live progress, and reported row by row so you know exactly what changed and what needs a second look.
Why it is different
WooCommerce already handles a few visible orders well. This plugin is for the moment your source of truth becomes a spreadsheet.
| Option | Best for | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| WooCommerce bulk action | A few orders visible on one admin page. | Manual selection and only the statuses WooCommerce exposes there. |
| WP-CLI script | A technical one-off with server access. | No guided preview or downloadable audit trail. |
| Laqi CSV Order Status Changer This plugin | Repeatable spreadsheet-driven jobs of any practical size. | Requires an order ID and target status for each row. |
The upload is read into fixed-size storage pages, then interactive mode processes it in small chunks so the progress bar and result table fill in real time.
Hand very large or set-and-forget jobs to Action Scheduler and close the page. Stuck jobs are detected and offer a one-click resume.
A validate-only mode previews exactly what would change, per order, without changing anything.
Every row reports its previous status, new status, and outcome (changed, skipped, needs attention, errored). Search it, filter it, download it as CSV.
Comma, semicolon, or tab delimiters auto-detected, Excel's UTF-8 BOM handled, optional header row with columns named in any order, statuses with or without the wc- prefix, plus a sample template generated from your store's own statuses.
Every update goes through WooCommerce CRUD, so order notes and status emails behave exactly like a manual change. A "don't send customer emails" option applies changes silently, and an optional notify column decides it per row when one file mixes announcements with housekeeping.
