Do you manage the PrestaShop Order Status? When customers order items from your online store, they need to understand how their order is progressing. This information can be found in the order status column on the product pages. If you want to customize this column or add new statuses, you can do so in PrestaShop 1.7 by editing the default order statuses available. Alternatively, if you feel that these default statuses are enough for your needs, there is no need to edit them – you can create your own Statuses objects using the admin panel!

Edit and Manage the PrestaShop Order Status

The order status allows you to keep your customers updated on the progress of their purchase, such as shipping, awaiting payment, or delivery. So we are going to configure the PrestaShop Order Status.

• Log in to the PrestaShop back office.
• Go to the Shop Parameter > Order Settings > Statuses
• Now you can see a new window where you can customize and configure them.
• You can change the order of items in your list by selecting a new status from the pre-defined order statuses. Each status has a distinctive color, icon, and title.

• To add a new order status, click the Add New Order Status link on the Order Status page.
• The list of statuses is separated into two sections: Statuses and Return Statuses. The difference between them is that Return Statuses are used rarely.

Each status has a set of features

• Icon: It will show the status image.
• Send an email to the customer: If the order status is changed then the customer will be notified via email.
• Delivery and Invoice: It will allow the customer to download the invoice.
