How to set orders to automatically complete when payment is sucessful?

I have noticed that WooCommerce by default, sets the order status to “processing” when an order is placed. However, since I only sell downloadable products, I am concerned that my customers may be confused by receiving an email stating that their order is being processed, especially when the same email also includes their download link. Is there a way to automatically set these orders to “completed” as soon as the payment is received?

Best regards,
Trine

Dear @Woolwolf,

We hope this message finds you well.

To address your request, please try adding the following custom code to the functions.php file located in your child theme:
```
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'wpdesk_set_completed_for_paid_orders' );
function wpdesk_set_completed_for_paid_orders( $order_id ) {
    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    $order->update_status( 'completed' );
}
```
For further details and guidance, you may refer to this article: [WooCommerce Payment Complete Hook](https://wpdesk.net/blog/woocommerce_payment_complete-hook/).

Should you have any questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,
The 8Theme Team.
