Because this info is spread all over the forum I thought it would be handy to add this post.

This is how you can easily add an additional order status to you xcart shop.

1. In your admin go 'language' and add a textlabel describing your additional orderstatus. For instance: lbl_send_not_payed

2. Open skin/<yourskin>/main/order_status.tpl

after

  <option value="C"{if $status eq "C"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_complete}</option>

add on line 23

<option value="U"{if $status eq "U"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_send_not_payed}</option>

where "U" can be any other unused orderstatus identiefier.

after

{elseif $status eq "C"}
{$lng.lbl_complete}

add

{elseif $status eq "U"}
{$lng.lbl_send_not_payed}

Open include/func/func.order.php

somewhere around line 1685 you'll find

$allowed_order_status = 'IQPBDFCA';

add your status identiefier (in this case "U") so it looks like:

$allowed_order_status = 'IQPBDFCAU';

that's all.

Have fun.

You're opening a whole "can of worms". Get ready for questions on "how do I send emails using the new status?", "how do I decrement the quantity on hand with this new order status?", and other questions related to any new status type.
