You can check PS documentation about the hook on below link

https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/8/modules/concepts/hooks/list-of-hooks/actionvalidateorder/

In PrestaShop, the actionValidateOrder hook is a powerful hook that is triggered when an order is validated or confirmed by a customer. It is a crucial point in the order processing workflow and allows you to perform various actions or modifications when an order is successfully placed by a customer.

It's essential to thoroughly test your module and the actionValidateOrder hook implementation to ensure it behaves as expected when orders are validated.

By using the actionValidateOrder hook in your PrestaShop module, you can extend and customize the order processing flow, allowing you to integrate with external systems, handle additional order-related tasks, and enhance the functionality of your e-commerce store.
