Magento 2 New Order Status remains "Processing" instead of "Pending" in custom payment method

Question

I have created a custom payment method module.

System configuration has a field for selecting New order status.

Even if I set it as "Pending", new order status is showing as "processing".

Please help..

<system>
        <section id="payment">
            <group id="zipcodpayment" translate="label" sortOrder="2" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">

Answer 1

In your payment method model you can add

protected $_isInitializeNeeded = true;

In Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Payment, you will see :

public function place()
{
    ....

    if ($methodInstance->isInitializeNeeded()) {
        $stateObject = new \Magento\Framework\DataObject();
        // For method initialization we have to use original config value for payment action
        $methodInstance->initialize($methodInstance->getConfigData('payment_action'), $stateObject);
        $orderState = $stateObject->getData('state') ?: $orderState;
        $orderStatus = $stateObject->getData('status') ?: $orderStatus;
        $isCustomerNotified = $stateObject->hasData('is_notified')
                    ? $stateObject->getData('is_notified')
                    : $isCustomerNotified;
    } else {
        $orderState = Order::STATE_PROCESSING;
        $this->processAction($action, $order);
        $orderState = $order->getState() ? $order->getState() : $orderState;
        $orderStatus = $order->getStatus() ? $order->getStatus() : $orderStatus;
    }

    ....
}

so if $methodInstance->isInitializeNeeded() is false , the orderstate will be Order::STATE_PROCESSING;instead of what you configured in the system backend .

Answer 2

I had a similar problem & I solved it by adding this method to my payment-method model:

/**
 * Get config payment action, do nothing if status is pending
 *
 * @return string|null
 */
public function getConfigPaymentAction()
{
    return ($this->getConfigData('order_status') == 'pending')? null : parent::getConfigPaymentAction();
}

Your store->order status pending and processing State Code And Title is something like this.
