woocommerce_order_status_completed not triggered

Question

I want to write a custom plugin that does some action after woocommerce order is completed, but I can\'t get this hook to work. I can see this question asked many times.

Answer 1

woocommerce_order_status_changed and woocommerce_order_status_completed actually work for me. After struggling for 2 days i realized that you just can't var_dump or var_export or print_r or whatever in the admin panel, it just won't work.

So if you are a newbie like me and thought those actions weren't working, just try triggering another action like sending a mail for example.

This code works:

function your_function( $order_id ){
   $order = new WC_Order( $order_id );
    $to_email = 'testing_mail@sample.com';
    $payment = $order->get_payment_method_title();
    $headers = 'From: Your Name ' . "\r\n";
    wp_mail($to_email, 'subject', $payment, $headers );
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'your_function');
