How to flag high-value orders for extra checks in WooCommerce

Flag WooCommerce orders over a value threshold for review

Automatically badges orders whose total exceeds a configurable threshold so your team can prioritise high-value fulfilment or apply extra checks before dispatch.

The problem

High-value orders often need extra attention - a second check on stock, a confirmation of payment, or priority packing. Without a visual flag, they can slip through the normal queue unnoticed.

The solution

OrderBadger can automatically flag orders above any value threshold you set.

Who this is for

Any WooCommerce store that ships physical products and wants to treat orders above a certain value differently - especially electronics, luxury goods, and wholesale stores.

How it works

Adds a visible badge to every order whose total exceeds your chosen amount. The badge appears instantly on the WooCommerce orders list and the individual order view, so your team can spot high-value orders at a glance.

Review payment confirmation and stock availability before packing. Consider prioritising dispatch for high-value customers.

Rule template

Plain English rule Order total is over £100

Write this (or something similar) in the OrderBadger rule builder. The AI compiler turns it into executable logic automatically.

Make it yours

Adjust thresholds
  • Raise '£100' to '£250' if your average order value is high and you only want to flag orders that are genuinely above normal.
  • Lower '£100' to '£50' for stores with a lower price point where even a £50 order deserves extra attention.
Add or remove conditions
  • Add 'and customer has 0 previous paid orders' to focus on high-value first orders, which are both an opportunity and a risk signal. Order total is over £100 and customer has 0 previous paid orders
  • Add 'and payment method is cod' to specifically flag high-value cash-on-delivery orders that carry more refusal risk. Order total is over £100 and payment method is cod

Default: High Value

When this rule matches

Order 150
Order total: £150.00
Order total of £150 exceeds the £100 threshold.
Order 100 01 Boundary
Order total: £100.01
Order total of £100.01 is just above the threshold.

When this rule does not match

Order 80 Below Threshold
Order total: £80.00
Order total of £80 is below the £100 threshold.
Order 100 Exact Boundary
Order total: £100.00
Order total of exactly £100 does not exceed the threshold (rule says 'over', not 'at least').

Good to know

  • The threshold is fixed in the rule text. To change it, edit the rule and recompile.
  • This checks the order grand total including tax and shipping. Use a subtotal rule if you need to exclude those.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does the £100 threshold include tax and shipping?
    Yes. The rule checks the order grand total, which includes tax and shipping. If you want to compare against the subtotal only, create a separate rule that checks the subtotal field.
  • An order totalling exactly £100 - does it get flagged?
    No. The rule triggers on orders 'over £100', meaning the total must exceed £100. An order at exactly £100.00 will not receive the badge.
  • Can I use a different currency or threshold amount?
    Yes. Edit the rule text to specify your preferred amount and currency, then recompile. The threshold is written directly in the natural-language rule definition.
