AAWEB Wholesale Delayed Payments

Description

AAWEB Wholesale Delayed Payments adds a delayed payment workflow for WooCommerce wholesale customers.

Instead of paying immediately during checkout, wholesale customers can:

• Submit their order without payment.
• Select a preferred payment method.
• Wait for order review and stock confirmation.
• Complete payment only after the administrator approves the order.

This workflow is ideal for:

• B2B stores
• Wholesale suppliers
• Distributors
• Manufacturers
• Custom quotation workflows

Features

• Wholesale-only checkout workflow.
• Separate payment preference selection.
• No immediate payment required.
• Automatic order placement in « On Hold ».
• Administrator reviews the order before payment.
• Supports WooCommerce Order Pay page.
• Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS.
• No external services required.
• Lightweight and fast.
• No tracking or data collection.

How It Works

1. A customer with the role wholesale_customer places an order.
2. During checkout they choose their preferred payment method:
   • Card Payment
   • Bank Transfer
   • Cash on Delivery
3. The order is created with status « On Hold ».
4. No payment is collected during checkout.
5. The administrator reviews stock and availability.
6. The administrator changes the order status to « Pending Payment ».
7. The customer can then access the payment page and complete payment using normal WooCommerce payment gateways.

Wholesale Role

The plugin works with the following user role:

wholesale_customer

You can create this role using:

• Wholesale Suite
• WooCommerce Wholesale Prices
• Any custom role management plugin
• Custom code

Payment Gateways

During wholesale checkout:

• Only the virtual « Wholesale Pending Payment » gateway is shown.

After administrator approval:

• All normal WooCommerce payment gateways become available.
• The virtual gateway is automatically hidden.

HPOS Compatibility

This plugin is compatible with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
