23 ratingsWooCommerce 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:
- Use Dokan by installing the Dokan plugin
- Use WCFM by installing WCFM Frontend Manager and WCFM Marketplace
Note: Only one multivendor plugin should be used at a time. Do not enable both Dokan and WCFM on the same site.
