Submit orders before payment

Place Order Without Payment for WooCommerce Pro lets customers complete an order before paying while keeping the standard WooCommerce order flow. It supports B2B and wholesale purchasing, quote requests, and manual or offline payment arrangements where the store handles payment after submission.

After an order arrives, the store can review its details, confirm pricing, issue an invoice, or arrange payment through another process. Orders are marked as “Processing” by default, and the status can be changed in the plugin settings.

Set rules for pay-later orders

Apply pay-later rules by product, category, or user role to control which entries or customers can submit an order without immediate payment. The extension can also remove the payment section from checkout. An optional direct checkout skips the cart for a focused order form.

Choose a quote or order flow

Pro supports custom “Request Quote” and “Place Order” experiences. Use the quote flow when customers need pricing confirmed before payment; the quote capability lets them submit an order as a quote request without payment. These settings can support bulk enquiries and wholesale purchasing while the store handles approval, pricing, or invoicing after submission.

Manage payment follow-up

• Send automatic reminders for pending payments.
• Customize email templates to match the store’s brand.
• Include direct “Pay for Order” links for later payment.
• Remove unnecessary checkout components for a cleaner order flow.

Install and configure

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Open its settings and adjust the order, checkout, and status options.
3. Configure the products, categories, or user roles that should use pay-later rules.
4. Choose the “Request Quote” or “Place Order” experience.
5. Set up payment reminders, branded email templates, and direct Pay for Order links as needed.

The plugin is tested with recent WooCommerce versions. If checkout displays a no-payment-method error, check that the checkout page contains the [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode and that at least one payment method, such as Cash on Delivery, is enabled.
