WooCommerce Order Approval plugin allows shop owners to approve or reject orders before payment is processed, giving complete control over the WooCommerce sales flow.
With this order approval system, customers can place an order without completing payment. The store owner or admin can manually review each order and decide whether to approve or reject it before payment.

Multivendor Support (Since 2.2.0)

Starting from version 2.2.0, multivendor support is included directly in the Order Approval for WooCommerce plugin. All existing features remain the same, with added support for Dokan and WCFM.Read more

To use multivendor functionality, select your preferred option (Dokan or WCFM) in the Order Approval settings and install the required plugin:

Note: Only one multivendor plugin should be used at a time. Do not enable both Dokan and WCFM on the same site.

Sales process flow for new customer

  1. The customer places an order, and no payment is processed initially.
  2. The shop owner or admin reviews and approves or rejects the order manually.
  3. The customer receives an email notification:
    • If the order is approved, the email includes a secure payment link to complete the payment.
    • If the order is rejected, a cancellation email is sent to the customer.
    • This plugin is ideal for Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, high-value purchases, custom orders, and stores that require manual order verification before payment.
