WooCommerce Marketplace Order Approval ‬

WooCommerce Marketplace Order Approval helps sellers manage customer orders more easily.

When a customer places an order, it isn’t confirmed right away. Instead, the seller reviews it and decides to approve or reject it.

The admin sets a time limit for this decision. If the seller approves the order, it goes ahead. If the seller rejects it or doesn’t respond in time, the system cancels the order automatically.

This feature helps avoid unwanted orders and makes managing them easier. It gives sellers more control over their marketplace.

NOTES:

This plugin is now compatible with WooCommerce’s latest High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Cart and checkout block.
