Mark Orders As Complete As Soon As They're Submitted In WooCommerce
If you are selling software or other downloadable / virtual products, there’s not really any need to have the order “processing”.
As soon as the customer checks out, the product is usually delivered.
Therefore, it makes sense for us to just automatically mark it as complete.
The below snippet will show you exactly how to do this.
Copy and paste the following code into your functions.php file.

add_action('woocommerce_thankyou', 'wpd_autocomplete_virtual_orders', 10, 1 );
function wpd_autocomplete_virtual_orders( $order_id ) {
if( ! $order_id ) return;
// Get order
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
// get order items = each product in the order
$items = $order->get_items();
// Set variable
$only_virtual = true;
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
// Get product id
$product = wc_get_product( $item['product_id'] );
// Is virtual
$is_virtual = $product->is_virtual();
// Is_downloadable
$is_downloadable = $product->is_downloadable();
if ( ! $is_virtual && ! $is_downloadable ) {
$only_virtual = false;
}
}
// true
if ( $only_virtual ) {
$order->update_status( 'completed' );
}
}
Automatically Complete WooCommerce Orders
That’s basically it, the critical thing is toward the end of the snippet where it says $order->update_status( ‘completed’ );
This is the section which actually performs the action, everything before it is basically looping through the order to check that all the products are downloadable or virtual.
You can modify this to set the status to whatever you want, you can find a list of the standard WooCommerce statuses here.
And That's How We AutoComplete WooCommerce Orders

This doesn’t seem to be working in the latest version of Woocommerce (6.8.2).
Hi Charlie, Thanks for the comment. I’ve tested on my end and it should be working, you may have a conflict with another plugin potentially? What error(s) are coming up or what’s the issue? Thanks, Chris
