Change order status

[asterisco]

Hi.

I'm trying to make a module that select the status of the order depending on the payment AND the carrier. I really don't know which hook should I use. Any idea?

Thanks in advance

For what action you want to update the order status

Hello:

If you want to do it when order is created should be hookPaymentReturn or if you want to do it after the first change of status it could be hookActionOrderStatusUpdate. Depends of whenn you need to make your change.

Hi.

The main idea of my module would be: I need the customer to receive an order confirmation email with instructions regarding payment AND carrier. Do you happen to know how could I achieve something like that?

Thanks in advance,

You could use hookactionOrderStatusPostUpdate(Called after the Order Status is Updated) Or hookactionOrderStatusUpdate(Called before the Order Status is Updated). You could use these action hooks to send the mail to the customer on order confirmation.

By default prestashop sends mail on order confirmation to edit that you would need to override PaymentModuleCore in classes/PaymentModule.php. (But I wouldn't recommend doing this)
