Order statuses in WooCommerce

In WooCommerce we can have different states for an order. Below are the possible states of the order with the plugin:

Pending payment: is waiting for payment to be made. It automatically goes to Completed or Processing status depending on the case.

Completed: the payment has been successfully completed.

Processing: transaction review process for both single payment (cash and transfer) and payment with authorization.

Refunded: performs the refund and updates the store’s stock with the returned products.

Failed: the transaction could not be completed either due to insufficient funds or erroneous data.
