Changing default EMAIL Order Status message on Checkout

[sharkey]

Hi, 
For one of my modules for payment, Cash on Delivery, Presta does not send out the email and sets the order to the wrong status. 

How can I change it? I have created the email template and it exist and have set it to be the order status but it is not working. How can I change status and email template for each type of payment? 

Thank you

Go to order->statuses in BO.

Yes I know but I mean when an order is placed certain statuses are automatically designated. How to change the status?

I have the same issue.  I have searched high and low, but can't seem to find a way to configure PS (v 1.6.0.14) to set a different order status upon successful execution of an order.  In my particular case, it continues to default to "Awaiting Bank Wire Payment".  I have even completely uninstalled the "Bank Wire" and "Payment by Check" modules (which I believe are the 2 default payment modules w/ PS 1.6), but it continues to happen.  I have actually uninstalled all payment modules except for Stripe (3rd party, by Bellini Services), and it still happens.  The order statuses that I configure through Stripe aren't showing up, and based on that, the customer emails aren't being sent as expected.

 

Once I get through this, need to figure out why the merchant notifications emails are not being sent...even after I change the order status to "Payment Accepted" in the back office.
