What is the action hook for an order that fails on frontend checkout in WooCommerce?

by

I am working on a plugin that handles logic for when a user tries to checkout on the frontend and the order fails (e.g., person is using a credit card but it does not have enough balance to meet the cart totals, etc). I can see the order is in fact set as “FAILED” in WooCommerce, because I get the automated email from WC alerting admin of a failed order. I’m spending a lot of time testing out various actions and filters, and hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

You can catch specific status change by using this action hook ‘woocommerce_order_status_{status}’. It is defined in the WC_Order class.

This is how you define it:

/**
 * Executed when the status is changed to failed.
 * @param int $order_id
 * @param \WC_Order $order
 */
function wpdg_9291_woocommerce_order_status_failed( $order_id, $order ) {
    // Do something here
}
add_action('woocommerce_order_status_failed', 'wpdg_9291_woocommerce_order_status_failed', 15, 2);
