Answer 1

Here is an example for creating a custom order action working with latest WooCommerce (7.5.1 as of writing)

add_filter('woocommerce_order_actions', 'my_custom_woocommerce_order_actions', 10, 2);
add_action('woocommerce_process_shop_order_meta', 'my_custom_woocommerce_order_action_execute', 50, 2);

/**
 * Filter: woocommerce_order_actions
 * Allows filtering of the available order actions for an order.
 *
 * @param array $actions The available order actions for the order.
 * @param WC_Order|null $order The order object or null if no order is available.
 * @since 2.1.0 Filter was added.
 * @since 5.8.0 The $order param was added.
 */
function my_custom_woocommerce_order_actions($actions, $order)
{
    $actions['my-custom-order-action'] = __('Execute my custom order action', 'my-custom-order-action');
    return $actions;
}

/**
 * Save meta box data.
 *
 * @param int $post_id Post ID.
 * @param WP_Post $post Post Object.
 */
function my_custom_woocommerce_order_action_execute(int $post_id, WP_Post $post)
{
    if (filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'wc_order_action') !== 'my-custom-order-action') {
        return;
    }

    $order = wc_get_order($post_id);
    $order->add_order_note(__('My Custom Order Action was executed', 'my-custom-order-action'));
}

There are two parts to solve with this objective.

The first part is to get a custom Order Action in the metabox of the individual Orders Page. I was trying to accomplish the same thing, but didn't find anything definitive on it, so I created a tutorial here:

http://neversettle.it/add-custom-order-action-woocommerce/

The second part is to add a custom order action in the Bulk Actions drop-down of the main Orders page. Skyverge has an excellent tutorial on that here:

http://www.skyverge.com/blog/add-custom-bulk-action/

The only specific thing you will need to take note of is to use the correct post_type. For WooCommerce orders you will need to use this in place of the first example on that tutorial:

add_action('admin_footer-edit.php', 'custom_bulk_admin_footer');

function custom_bulk_admin_footer() {

    global $post_type;

    if($post_type == 'shop_order') {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            jQuery('<option>').val('export').text('<?php _e('Export')?>').appendTo("select[name='action']");
            jQuery('<option>').val('export').text('<?php _e('Export')?>').appendTo("select[name='action2']");
        });
    </script>
    <?php
    }
}

Notice the shop_order replaces the post for the condition checking which post_type to add the bulk actions to.

But fundamentally, @brasofilo is correct - for the most part WooCommerce uses standard WordPress structures, post_type mechanisms, and taxonomies. The process is the same for adding a bulk action to the Orders page as it is to the Posts page.

However, you are correct about the custom Order Actions on the individual Orders page - that is WooCommerce only and you'll need to reference the first tutorial on how to solve that part.

It seems that it will use built in action to export, but what if i want to append other actions? How Refund and On-Hold status emails will be triggered once a bulk action is applied? – Fontainebleau

This method still works, but is slightly outdated - Order props should be accessed using getter methods, such as $order->get_id(); – Fancyfree
