No, you see I am trying to do it before the purchase and also before the checkout page. The digital product can be bought as is (in which case it all works perfectly right now, the order is completed as soon as the customer pays and he/she gets the download link). 
OR on the product page, the customer can choose a particular add-on service, in which case I need to manually prepare the files before sending them out to the customer and marking the order as "completed" - hence why it needs to stay in a "processing" status. The checkout page is too late to be asking about the add-ons, the option needs to be visible and prominent from the very beginning, because it's a feature that sort of changes the dynamics of how the product will be used later. 

If you're interested in details I can share them via a DM - it's actually a really simple idea, but I'm not yet fully comfortable putting it all out in the public - little, but critical hiccups like this one are a big part of it. 😄

The PS part is probably very true though... damnit. Might need to start seriously looking into hiring a dev. 

What do you use for the automation and stuff you usually do with AI though? ChatGPT? Or I remember something about you building your own rig for it and training your own model? I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times from you, I haven't been following AI Unchained super closely TBF 😄
