The default payment status in WooCommerce is “Pending payment” . When a customer places an order but has not yet made the payment, the order status is set to “Pending payment” by default. This status indicates that the order has been received, but the payment has not yet been processed or confirmed. It is commonly used when customers choose to pay via bank transfer or other offline payment methods. Once the payment is confirmed, the order status can be changed to reflect the payment status, such as “Processing” or “Completed”
