Effortlessly integrate the WooCommerce Order Approval Plugin into your WooCommerce system, giving you the authority to either approve or decline customer orders!
Upon activation and installation, the plugin empowers you to reject or approve orders through one of two selected processes (configured in the Settings menu):
1. Pay and wait for approval: Customers place orders as usual, resembling standard WooCommerce procedures. The site administrator has the discretion to approve or deny the order. In both scenarios, the customer receives a confirmation email.
2. Wait for approval and pay: Customers initiate the purchase without immediate charges. Once the order is approved, customers must manually complete the payment on the order details page.
WooCommerce Order Approval Features:
- Live Updated Timeline
- The order status timeline is live and updated! This means that the user does not need to manually update the page to have to know the current order approval status!
- Time Selector Option
- The WooCommerce Order Approval plugin gives the option to display a time selector in the Checkout form! This can be very useful for food delivery services!
- Approval Timeline
- The customers (registered and guests) can keep track of the order approval status through a visual timeline displayed on the order details page! Each step text can be customized through the text menu.
- Email Notifications
- Every time the order hits the Approved or Rejected status, the plugin will send a notification email to the customer. Notification messages text can be customized through the Text menu.
- Approval/rejection Links Embedded on the Admin New Order Email
- The WooCommerce Order Approval plugin embeds in the new order email sent to the admin the links to directly approve or reject the just placed order!
- Order Cancellation by Customer
- Through the Options menu, you can enable the option to allow the customer to cancel the order once it has been approved. The cancellation can be performed in X minutes, where X can be configured through the option.
- Order Automatic Cancellation if Not Paid
- The order can be optionally canceled by the system if, once approved and if it needs to be paid, the user doesn’t perform the payment in X minutes, where X can be configured in the options menu.
- New Order Statuses
- To easily keep track of the order approval statuses, will add three new statuses: Waiting for approval, Rejected, and Approved statuses.
- Template
