## Description

**RIACO Autocomplete Orders for WooCommerce** helps store owners streamline order
management by automatically completing WooCommerce orders based on specific product
types and order statuses.

If you sell **virtual, downloadable, or digital products**, or if you want to automatically
fulfill certain types of orders without manual intervention, this plugin is for 
you.

### Features

**Automatic Order Completion**

 * Automatically completes orders when all products match the allowed types (virtual,
   downloadable, simple, variable, grouped, or external products).
 * Triggered by specific WooCommerce order statuses (e.g., “processing” or “on-hold”).

**Logging & Debugging**

 * Adds internal **logs for completed orders**, including:
    - Which rules triggered the completion
    - Timestamp and trigger status
 * Easily review why an order was autocompleted.

**Admin Controls**

 * Enable or disable the autocomplete functionality via plugin settings.
 * Fully **translatable** and compatible with multilingual stores.
 * **Remove all plugin data** (settings & logs) upon uninstall for a clean database.

**Developer Friendly**

 * Uses **`apply_filters()`** and **`do_action()`** hooks to extend behavior.
 * Includes a **completion action hook**:
 *     ```
       do_action( 'riaco_ao_order_autocompleted', $order, $status_triggered, $matched_rules );
       ```
   
 * Filter the log messages, completion note, and rule behavior to integrate with
   other plugins or custom workflows.

### How It Works

 1. Select which **order statuses** should trigger the autocomplete check.
 2. Choose which **product types** are eligible for automatic completion.
 3. When an order reaches a trigger status:
 4.  * The plugin checks all products in the order.
     * If they **all match** the allowed types, then the order is **automatically marked
       as “Completed”**.
     * A **log entry** is stored with the rules that triggered the completion.

### Use Cases

 * **Digital Products**:
    If you sell eBooks, downloadable files, or online courses,
   your customers can receive their orders instantly without manual approval.
 * **Instant Fulfillment for Specific Products**:
    Mark orders as completed right
   after payment if all products are simple or virtual, reducing admin overhead.
 * **Dropshipping or External Fulfillment**:
    If fulfillment happens outside WooCommerce,
   you can auto-complete to signal the order is processed.
 * **Reduce Support Tickets**:
    Customers instantly see their order as completed,
   reducing “Where is my order?” requests.
 * **Event Registrations or Subscriptions**:
    Automatically complete free or pre-
   paid event registrations without manual intervention.

### Settings Overview

After activation, visit:

**WooCommerce > Settings > Autocomplete Orders**

Available options:

 * **Enable Autocomplete**
    Toggle the plugin functionality on/off.
 * **Trigger Statuses**
    Select one or more order statuses to run the autocomplete
   check.
 * **Product Type Filters**
    Restrict autocomplete to orders containing only the
   selected product types.
 * **Logs Section**
    Review completed order logs and which rules were triggered.

### Logging & Data Handling

 * **Logs** are stored in a custom post type for tracking which rules triggered 
   completion.
 * **Matched rules** are stored as post meta on the order.
 * **Uninstall Behavior**:
    When the plugin is deleted from WordPress:
    - All settings are removed.
    - All logs are deleted.
    - Your database is left clean.

### Developer Hooks

**Filters**

   logic. apply_filters( ‘riaco_should_autocomplete_order’, $should_autocomplete,
   $order, $status_to, $matched_rules )
 * `riaco_ao_completion_note`
    Allow customization of the internal admin note. apply_filters(‘

   Orders plugin.’, ‘riaco-autocomplete-orders’ ))
 * `riaco_autocomplete_orders_rules`

   should autocomplete. apply_filters( ‘riaco_autocomplete_orders_rules’, $rules,

   apply_filters( ‘riaco_autocomplete_trigger_statuses’, $trigger_statuses, $status_to)

    Filter the post array before inserting the log entry.
   apply_filters( ‘riaco_ao_log_postarr’, $postarr, $order, $details, $status_triggered,
   $note )

   Orders plugin. apply_filters( ‘riaco_autocomplete_orders_settings’, $settings)

## FAQ

### Can I autocomplete only specific product types?

Yes. You can configure which product types should allow automatic completion. The
plugin will autocomplete an order **only if all products in the order** match one
of the allowed types.

### Will this complete physical product orders?

If all products in the order meet the type criteria (e.g. simple product), the order
will be marked as completed.

### Does this plugin work with all payment gateways?

Yes, the plugin is gateway-agnostic. However, you should only enable autocomplete
on statuses that are safe (e.g., after payment is complete).
