Invoice Payment Option for WooCommerce GPL v1.4.3

Invoice Payment Option for WooCommerce GPL Overview:

The Invoice Payment Option for WooCommerce extension allows your customers to place orders without making an immediate payment by selecting an “Invoice Payment” method at checkout. This extension is particularly useful for businesses that need to offer flexible payment options, such as B2B (business-to-business) orders, bulk orders, or scenarios where customers prefer to pay later.

Once an order is placed using this payment method, the customer receives the standard WooCommerce order email. The admin can also attach a PDF invoice to the email. After confirming the order, the admin can send a direct payment link to the customer, allowing them to complete the payment through the WooCommerce checkout process. Alternatively, payments can be processed via other methods like bank transfers, checks, or cash on delivery.
