No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    This plugin has enabled us to configure custom order statuses for woocommerce and with the pro version the added functionality of custom email notifications for each custom order status. We have also been able to trigger the status changes and custom status changes via a custom built third party order management tool that talks with woo (and this plugin) through API calls. Very happy with how easy it has been to install, setup and customise for our clients needs. Support also replies quickly, which is an added bonus.

    We switched to this plugin from another order status plugin that had constant _load_textdomain_just_in_time errors since WordPress was updated to 6.7.0. and we are very happy. Everything works well even with the latest WordPress version.

    The Custom Order Status for WooCommerce plugin by Tyche Softwares is fantastic! It has made managing my store’s orders so much simpler. Creating custom statuses is a breeze, and the interface is very user-friendly. I can now easily track orders through various stages, which has improved our workflow significantly. The integration with WooCommerce is smooth, and I haven’t faced any compatibility issues. Plus, the support team is responsive and helpful. This plugin has enhanced both my store’s efficiency and my customers’ experience. Highly recommended for any WooCommerce store owner!

    I’ve been using this plugin for a few months now, and it has improved the way I manage my online store. As a small business owner, keeping track of orders and their various stages is crucial, and this plugin has been a game-changer.One of the standout features of this plugin is its simplicity and ease of use. The interface is intuitive, allowing me to create, customize, and manage multiple order statuses without any hassle. This flexibility has enabled me to tailor the order flow to suit my online store, which was not possible with the default Woo statuses.
