What It Does

Add a WooCommerce invoice gateway option for your customers on the checkout. The invoice payment gateway lets your customers checkout without paying and you can invoice separately via your Xero, Quickbooks, MYOB, Reckon Online, or other accounting package.

There is no integration required, you just invoice as you normally would, the plugin lets you record the invoice number which gets added to the customer's WooCommerce invoice email.

Orders get created in Processing status and from there you can generate a separate invoice from your accounting system to have your customer pay outside of WooCommerce.

Once you have been paid just add the invoice number to the order then change the Order status to Completed.

It is perfect for situations like wholesale selling where customers are often reluctant to pay large orders online. It is very similar to a WooCommerce quote at this stage and many people do use it as a quotes gateway.

This plugin is also fully compatible with Wholesale Suite's WooCommerce Wholesale Prices plugin which is the #1 solution for wholesale sales in WooCommerce.
