How does the order approval woocommerce plugin work?

The WooCommerce Order Approval plugin, also known as the Order Approval Plugin for WooCommerce, simplifies the order process brilliantly for your WooCommerce store. Once activated, it allows your customers to place orders without the immediate need for payment . This plugin is also known as the woocommerce payment after confirmation plugin. Here’s how it all works: When a customer purchases a Woocommerce Order Approval Plugin, a notification email is sent directly to the Shop owner or Admin, requesting their approval. This notification serves as an alert, allowing the admin to assess the order based on factors like stock availability.

when the admin reviews the order and approves it, the customer automatically receives an email with a secure payment after the confirmation email link for WooCommerce. This makes it effortless for them to finalize the purchase, ensuring a smooth and convenient transaction process. Conversely, if the admin decides to reject the order for any reason, a cancellation email for WooCommerce is swiftly sent to the customer, maintaining transparency and providing clear communication.

The WooCommerce Order Approval plugin provides administrators with four customizable options for configuring preorder settings for products: for all products, on a per-product basis, and according to categories or tags. Furthermore, administrators have the flexibility to establish preorder preferences based on both categories and tags simultaneously.

      This plugin allows shop owner can be accept/reject the order which created by customer. In your case you need to find or create a custom plugin.

  6. Michael (verified owner) –

    This is the best plugin I have ever used. I create and sell custom products and there is a lot of back and forth between myself and my customers before a final design is settled. This plugin allows me to take an order and adjust the payment once we’ve reached a final design. Before I had this plugin, I was forced to refund orders because customers do not always know exactly what they want. I would lose the credit card processing fees. This plugin has already paid for itself the first week I used it. I’ve never had any problems using it.
