What It Does

This plugin adds an Invoice Payment Gateway to the WooCommerce plugin. This type of payment method is usually used in B2B transactions with account or invoice customers where taking instant digital payment is not an option.

Default and custom WooCommerce order statuses like On Hold, Pending Payment, Processing, or Completed can be chosen from the gateway settings panel. The selected order status will be applied to all orders processed via the WooCommerce invoice payment gateway, and the corresponding status order emails will be sent after checkout.

You can also choose to restrict the gateway to only be enabled for specific WordPress user roles.

The plugin itself does not create customer invoices for you; it only handles orders. For invoices, you would still need to use an accounting program like Quickbooks or similar to bill your customers.

This plugin supports the WooCommerce block-based checkout and HPOS.

For this extension to function, WooCommerce must be installed and activated on your WordPress site.
