Default Order Status When No Payment

Hey,

Is there any way to set the default order status for orders which do not require payment?

Currently it is automatically set to 'Processing' and i would like to change this to 'Pending'.

Thanks.

Re: Default Order Status When No Payment

Since the "freecharger" module is the one that handles orders that require no payment, you could set that module's order-status to Pending.

Or, you could set the system default order-status to "pending" under Admin->Localization->Order Status

Re: Default Order Status When No Payment

OK great thanks.

I didn't have the Free Charge module enabled, and my default status is 'Pending', yet they come through as 'Processing'.

With the Free Charge module enabled, i'm able to select the default status as 'Pending'.

Thanks for your help.
