Hello,
How does this work out on the merchant side? Once the customer has completed the payment process with the bank would the order then get marked as ‘Processing’ in the woo admin?
If yes is there still the possibility that the customer could cancel the payment?
Our current back office system doesn’t have the function to ring fence orders using a particular payment method so they would all get processed and despatched if the status is ‘Processing’.
thanks

Hi Martin,
Greetings from WebToffee!
WooCommerce orders will be marked as processing only after the Sofort payment status is succeeded. Once it succeeded, there is no option in the plugin or woocommerce to cancel the payment
