WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway

The Payment Solution for Businesses Using Purchase Orders

The WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway is an essential plugin for businesses looking to streamline their payment methods and improve their WooCommerce purchasing processes, especially when working with enterprise or institutional clients.

This gateway allows customers to place orders using purchase orders, offering a more personalized and reliable payment option, which is ideal for businesses that require manual invoicing or credit payments.

What is WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway?

This plugin adds a specific payment option to WooCommerce, known as “Purchase Orders”. Unlike other methods, the WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway allows buyers to complete their orders using a purchase order code or number, instead of making instant payment with a credit card or other electronic methods.

This feature is invaluable for businesses and organizations that require internal authorizations or manage their finances through credit-based payment systems.

Benefits of WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway

1. Greater Payment Flexibility : By enabling payment via purchase orders, this gateway facilitates higher volume transactions and promotes a frictionless shopping experience for business customers.
2. Cash Flow Optimization : Businesses that need to process orders with manual billing and credit terms can rely on the WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway to manage deferred payments, maintaining a stable cash flow.
3. Facilitates Corporate and Institutional Sales : This payment method is ideal for WooCommerce stores that work with corporate or government entities, where purchase orders are the standard method for approving and invoicing purchases.
4. Administrative Simplification : By using this plugin, the store administrator can organize and manage pending payments, make effective follow-ups and record purchase orders in an orderly manner.
5. Compatible and Easy to Setup : Purchase Order Gateway integrates natively into WooCommerce, allowing for a quick and easy setup to enable this method at checkout without the need for additional development.

Features of WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway
