Description
Adds a Purchase Order payment method to WooCommerce.
Select if the order is to be Pending, On Hold or Processing after checkout. The gateway will ask for the purchase order number – select whether to also display text boxes for name and address of the company to be invoiced, and whether any of those are required fields. Don’t forget to mark a field as not required if it’s not to be displayed or your customer will not be able to check out!
The purchase order details will be displayed in the admin order screen, the customer order received screen and both admin and customer order emails.
WooCommerce compatibility
This plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x and 7.x versions.
Compatibility with other plugins
Some invoicing plugins require the meta keys of purchase order data to display this data on invoices. The meta keys used in this plugin are listed below:
_purchase_order_number
_purchase_order_company_name
_purchase_order_address1
_purchase_order_address2
_purchase_order_address3
_purchase_order_town
_purchase_order_county
_purchase_order_postcode
_purchase_order_email
Order status
By popular demand, the Pending order status has been added to On Hold and Processing. Be aware that if you set the status to Pending, neither you nor the customer will receive an order email after checkout – this is standard WooCommerce functionality. Order emails will be sent when a status is changed from Pending to On Hold or Processing.
GDPR information
This plugin will gather and store a company’s name, address and/or email address. This could also be construed as an individual’s personal data. However, as the user has opted to pay by this method, it is suggested that the lawful basis for processing this data is contractual necessity. Processing is necessary in order to send the invoice to the user or user’s representative. This data is stored as standard postmeta data and will be retained until the order is permanently deleted (not trashed).
