Order Approval for WooCommerce<\/strong> adds an order review step to your WooCommerce checkout flow.
\nInstead of processing payment immediately, orders are placed in a pending approval stage so the store admin can Approve<\/strong> or Reject<\/strong> them first.<\/p>\n\n

This helps you prevent fake\/spam orders, verify customer details, confirm stock, and approve only valid orders before collecting payment.<\/p>\n\n

Best for:<\/strong>\n* Stores selling custom-made products<\/strong>\n* Wholesale \/ B2B<\/strong> order verification\n* COD order verification<\/strong>\n* Stores that want to send a payment link only after approval<\/strong>\n* Businesses that need to review address, delivery, or product availability before payment<\/p>\n\n

How It Works (Order Approval Flow)<\/h3>\n\n

Sales process flow for new customer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Customer places an order (no payment is processed yet)<\/li>\n
  2. Admin reviews the order and Approves<\/strong> or Rejects<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Customer receives an email notification:\n\n
      \n
    • Approved:<\/strong> customer gets an email with a payment link<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Rejected:<\/strong> customer receives an order cancellation email<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      This creates a clean \u201corder approval before payment\u201d workflow for WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • Order Approved email<\/strong> (includes payment link)<\/li>\n
        • Order Rejected email<\/strong> (order cancelled)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n

        • Block checkout<\/strong> (stop orders from auto-processing when approval is required)<\/li>\n
        • Order Edit feature<\/strong> \u2013 modify order details easily before approval<\/li>\n
        • Enable\/Disable plugin functionality from settings<\/li>\n

            \n

            • Wrong address \/ invalid phone number<\/li>\n
