Auto Order Status Changer Extension for OpenCart

The Auto Order Status Changer extension is a streamlined automation tool that updates order statuses in your OpenCart store after a configurable number of days — based on the last status change, not the order date. By removing manual follow-ups, it keeps your order queue clean and your customers accurately informed.

Automation Logic:

A background task (cron) checks orders once per day.
If an order has stayed in one of your selected “source” statuses longer than the set time-limit, the extension automatically moves it to your chosen “target” status. Administrators can review every change in the order history log.

Features:

• Status-Based Rules – Pick one or multiple current statuses (e.g. Processing, Awaiting Payment) and a single destination status (e.g. Completed, Canceled).
• Day Threshold Selector – Define the exact number of days since the last status change before the rule triggers.
• Cron-Ready – Works with any standard server cron or the built-in OpenCart cron URL.
• Order History Logging – Uses OpenCart’s native addOrderHistory, preserving full logs and timestamps.
• Send Email to Customer – An email notification is automatically sent to the customer when the order status is changed.
• Safe Update – Automatically updates the date_modified field to keep reporting accurate.
• Clean, Responsive Admin Page – Modern, mobile-friendly settings panel—no coding required.
• OCMOD / Events Only – Core files remain untouched for painless upgrades.

Benefits:

✔ Eliminate forgotten “stuck” orders
✔ Save staff time on routine follow-ups
✔ Improve reporting accuracy
✔ Enhance customer trust with timely status updates

For version 4, you need to install VQMod.
