I have managed to put this together after searching the web and yet, it does not work. My aim is to automatically cancel ALL orders with the status on-hold no matter the payment gateway if the order has not been paid after three days.
The code is obviously incomplete and I'm asking for help making it complete. I was testing it with -1 minute to see if anything happened. It did not.
function get_unpaid_orders() {
global $wpdb;
$unpaid_orders = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "
SELECT posts.ID
FROM {$wpdb->posts} AS posts
WHERE posts.post_status = 'wc-on-hold'
AND posts.post_date < %s
", date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 minute') ) ) );
return $unpaid_orders;
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_cancel_unpaid_submitted', 'cancel_unpaid_orders' );
function cancel_unpaid_orders() {
$unpaid_orders = get_unpaid_orders();
if ( $unpaid_orders ) {
foreach ( $unpaid_orders as $unpaid_order ) {
$order = wc_get_order( $unpaid_order );
$cancel_order = true;
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item_key => $item_values) {
$manage_stock = get_post_meta( $item_values, '_manage_stock', true );
if ( $manage_stock == "yes" ) {
$payment_method = $order->get_payment_method();
if ( $payment_method == "bacs" ) {
$cancel_order = false;
}
}
}
if ( $cancel_order == true ) {
$order -> update_status( 'cancelled', __( 'The order was cancelled due to no payment from customer.', 'woocommerce') );
}
}
}
}
Update 4
Note: in WooCommerce, there is already a function hooked in woocommerce_cancel_unpaid_orders action hook that cancel unpaid orders after 7 days.
I didn't find woocommerce_cancel_unpaid_submitted action hook, so I don't know if it exist and if it is triggered.
Now there is some mistakes in your code and you can better use wc_get_orders() which give you directly the correct array of WC_Order Objects instead…
Here are some different ways to make it (last ones are untested):
This last solution is tested and works When shop manager or administrator user roles browse the Admin orders list (only executed once a day):
add_action( 'restrict_manage_posts', 'cancel_unpaid_orders' ); function cancel_unpaid_orders() { global $pagenow, $post_type;
// Enable the process to be executed daily when browsing Admin order list
if( 'shop_order' === $post_type && 'edit.php' === $pagenow
&& get_option( 'unpaid_orders_daily_process' ) < time() ) :
$days_delay = 5; // <=== SET the delay (number of days to wait before cancelation)
$one_day = DAY_IN_SECONDS;
$today = strtotime( date('Y-m-d') );
// Get unpaid orders (5 days old)
$unpaid_orders = (array) wc_get_orders( array(
'limit' => -1,
'status' => 'on-hold',
'date_created' => '<' . ( $today - ($days_delay * $one_day) ),
) );
if ( sizeof($unpaid_orders) > 0 ) {
$cancelled_text = __("The order was cancelled due to no payment from customer.", "woocommerce");
// Loop through orders
foreach ( $unpaid_orders as $unpaid_order ) {
$unpaid_order->update_status( 'cancelled', $cancelled_text );
}
}
// Schedule the process to the next day (executed once restriction)
update_option( 'unpaid_orders_daily_process', $today + $one_day );
endif;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme).
This third solution is tested and works: The function is triggered when any order change to "processing" or "completed" status (only executed once a day):
// Triggered on orders status change to "processing" or "completed" add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_changed', 'daily_cancel_unpaid_orders', 10, 4 ); function daily_cancel_unpaid_orders( $order_id, $old_status, $new_status, $order ) { // Enable the process to be executed daily if( in_array( $new_status, array('processing', 'completed') ) && get_option( 'unpaid_orders_daily_process' ) < time() ) :
$days_delay = 5; // <=== SET the delay (number of days to wait before cancelation)
$one_day = DAY_IN_SECONDS;
$today = strtotime( date('Y-m-d') );
// Get unpaid orders (5 days old)
$unpaid_orders = (array) wc_get_orders( array(
'limit' => -1,
'status' => 'on-hold',
'date_created' => '<' . ( $today - ($days_delay * $one_day) ),
) );
if ( sizeof($unpaid_orders) > 0 ) {
$cancelled_text = __("The order was cancelled due to no payment from customer.", "woocommerce");
// Loop through WC_Order Objects
foreach ( $unpaid_orders as $order ) {
$order->update_status( 'cancelled', $cancelled_text );
}
}
// Schedule the process to the next day (executed once restriction)
update_option( 'unpaid_orders_daily_process', $today + $one_day );
endif;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme).
So you can try with woocommerce_cancel_unpaid_submitted action hook:
add_action( 'woocommerce_cancel_unpaid_submitted', 'cancel_unpaid_orders' ); function cancel_unpaid_orders() { $days_delay = 5; // <=== SET the delay (number of days to wait before cancelation)
$one_day = DAY_IN_SECONDS;
$today = strtotime( date('Y-m-d') );
// Get unpaid orders (5 days old here)
$unpaid_orders = (array) wc_get_orders( array(
'limit' => -1,
'status' => 'on-hold',
'date_created' => '<' . ( $today - ($days_delay * $one_day) ),
) );
if ( sizeof($unpaid_orders) > 0 ) {
$cancelled_text = __("The order was cancelled due to no payment from customer.", "woocommerce");
// Loop through orders
foreach ( $unpaid_orders as $order ) {
$order->update_status( 'cancelled', $cancelled_text );
}
}
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme).
The function code should better works. For the hook I really don't know.
woocommerce_cancel_unpaid_orders action hook instead.
