How to Change Order Status Programmatically in Magento 2

Hello Magento Devs,

All orders have an order status that is associated with a stage in the order processing workflow.

In this tutorial we are going to see how we can change order status programatically instead of doing it manually.

$orderId = 11111; //your order id here
$objManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$order = $objManager->create('\Magento\Sales\Model\Order') ->load($orderId);
$newState = Order::STATE_PROCESSING;
$order->setState($newState)->setStatus(Order::STATE_PROCESSING);
$order->save();

Here are some default magento 2 order states which you can use in set Order State and Order Status:

That’s it.

You can read more about order status and states in magento 2 documantation page at Order Status.
