Delivery**, or **On Hold – Payment Verification**.

**Features:**
 – Manage custom statuses via a dedicated admin menu under WooCommerce.–
Assign background colors to statuses in the order list. – Supports bulk editing 
and manual status changes. – All statuses are stored as proper `wc-{slug}` order
statuses. – Fully translatable and compatible with WordPress coding standards.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/riaco-custom-order-status` or install
    via the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **WooCommerce  Order Statuses** to create your first custom status.
 4. Assign colors and save.
 5. Your new statuses will appear in the WooCommerce orders screen.

## FAQ

### Can I set custom colors for each status?

Yes! Each custom status has a color picker in the editor screen.

### Will these statuses work with WooCommerce reports or emails?

Statuses are registered as normal WooCommerce statuses, so they can be used in emails,
filters, and reports. Some third-party plugins may need integration.

### How do I add more customization?

Developers can use our actions and filters to extend functionality. See the **Developer
Hooks** section below.

### Can I change the color of default WooCommerce order statuses?

Not out of the box.
 This plugin only stores and applies colors to custom statuses
you create through its interface (saved as `riaco_cos` custom post types). WooCommerce’s
default statuses (like `Pending payment`, `Processing`, `Completed`, etc.) use styles
from WooCommerce core CSS, which this plugin does not override. If you want to change
their colors, you would need to add your own CSS or extend the plugin with custom
code.
