Disable order received emails for virtual products-CodePudding

I am currently using the code below to automatically complete virtual and downloadable products.

add_action('woocommerce_thankyou', 'wpd_autocomplete_virtual_orders', 10, 1 );
function wpd_autocomplete_virtual_orders( $order_id ) {
 

        if( ! $order_id ) return;
     
        // Get order
        $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
     
        // get order items = each product in the order
        $items = $order->get_items();
     
        // Set variable
        $only_virtual = true;
     
        foreach ( $items as $item ) {
             
            // Get product id
            $product = wc_get_product( $item['product_id'] );
     
            // Is virtual
            $is_virtual = $product->is_virtual();
     
            // Is_downloadable
            $is_downloadable = $product->is_downloadable();
     
            if ( ! $is_virtual && ! $is_downloadable  ) {
     
                $only_virtual = false;
     
            }
     
        }
     
        // true
        if ( $only_virtual ) {
     
            $order->update_status( 'completed' );
     
        }
    }

The issue I am facing is that woocommerce sends out two emails in this scenario to the customer. Order Received Order Completed. I am wondering if there is anyway to stop the order received email from going through to the customer and only have the order completed email sent.

Thank You

CodePudding user response：

To prevent the "Order Received" email from being sent to the customer, you can use the woocommerce_email_enabled_customer_processing_order filter hook to disable the email.

Please try to add the following code inside your if ( $only_virtual )

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_enabled_customer_processing_order', '__return_false' );

CodePudding user response：

The easiest way to achieve this would be to bypass the WooCommerce update_status function as the email sending is built-in to the function.

Instead just update the order in wp_posts:

Replace: $order->update_status( 'completed' );

With:

wp_update_post(['ID' => $order_id, 'post_status' => 'wc-completed']);

You will then only receive the Order Received email!
