SG Order Approval For WooCommerce Pro

Overview

The Order Approval WooCommerce plugin helps you efficiently manage order approvals, enhancing the shopping experience for customers. This plugin enables easy implementation of preorder approval for all orders, giving you better control over the pre-order process.

Customers can place orders without immediate payment, triggering an email notification to the shop owner or admin for efficient order management. If the order is approved, a payment link for WooCommerce payment after confirmation is swiftly delivered via email, ensuring a consistent and secure transaction.

On the other hand, if the order gets declined, a cancellation email is promptly dispatched to the customer, ensuring transparency at every stage. Admins can tailor preorder settings for all products universally, per product, and also categorically or by tags. Furthermore, it’s feasible to configure preorder options based on both categories and tags concurrently. This facilitates streamlined and personalized handling of preorders within the WooCommerce ecosystem. Importantly, the Pro version of the Order Approval Plugin for WooCommerce can be swiftly downloaded, installed, and activated in 2 minutes.
