Automatically mark authorized orders as "complete"

Let me know if following code when added to functions.php of theme works i just checked and it turns virtual product to completed on payment

but i have a question how doest your code determines if its virtual then authorize and charge at same time ?

add_filter( 'woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status', 'virtual_order_payment_complete_order_status', 10, 2 );

function virtual_order_payment_complete_order_status( $order_status, $order_id ) {
  $order = new WC_Order( $order_id );

  if ( 'processing' == $order_status &&
       ( 'on-hold' == $order->status || 'pending' == $order->status || 'failed' == $order->status ) ) {

    $virtual_order = null;

    if ( count( $order->get_items() ) > 0 ) {

      foreach( $order->get_items() as $item ) {

        if ( 'line_item' == $item['type'] ) {

          $_product = $order->get_product_from_item( $item );

          if ( ! $_product->is_virtual() ) {
            // once we've found one non-virtual product we know we're done, break out of the loop
            $virtual_order = false;
            break;
          } else {
            $virtual_order = true;
          }
        }
      }
    }

    // virtual order, mark as completed
    if ( $virtual_order ) {
      return 'completed';
    }
  }

  // non-virtual order, return original status
  return $order_status;
}

It will be slightly fishy to manage as Stripe Gateway uses only one of either auth&capture same time or auth now capture later

so your developer might have to tweak the payment gateway to detect if order item is virtual do auth & capture immediately

but if its physical use auth now & capture later

The code pasted above just marks authorized & captured payments as Completed for **Virtual** products but keeps other physical etc in processing mode

NOW AS YOU SAID 🙂

you have process to capture completed orders later for physical goods that process will continue to work in that case you dont need to make any change to payment gateway

Please feel free to ask if still any thing is not clear as it will help anyone other reding this thread
