HOW IT WORKS: APPROVAL WORKFLOW
Once installed and activated, the plugin allows you to reject or approve the orders placed by the customers according to one of those two workflows (that you have to select through the Settings menu):
- Pay and wait for approval: the customer will normally place the order as it happens for any WooCommerce order. The site admin can lately approve or reject the order. For both cases, the customer will receive a notification email.
- Wait for approval and pay: the customer will place the order without being charged. Once the order will be marked as approved the customer has to manually pay for it through the order details page.
The customers (registered and guests) can keep track of the order approval status through a visual timeline displayed in the order details page! Each step text can be customized through the text menu.
TIME SELECTOR OPTION
The plugin gives the option to display a time selector in the Checkout form! This can be very useful for food delivery services!
