What is a purchase order gateway and when is it used?

A purchase order (PO) gateway allows business customers to place orders by providing a PO number instead of immediate payment. The order is fulfilled, and payment is collected later through invoicing, following standard B2B payment practices like net-30 or net-60 terms.

Can I restrict PO payments to specific customer types?

Yes, you can limit the purchase order payment option to specific user roles such as wholesale customers or approved business accounts. Regular retail customers will not see the PO option at checkout.

How do I collect payment after a PO order is placed?

Payment collection for PO orders happens outside WooCommerce through your standard invoicing process. The PO number is stored with the order for reference when you send an invoice and receive payment.

What order status does a purchase order get?

PO orders are typically set to a processing or on-hold status since payment has not been received yet. The status can be updated manually when payment is collected against the purchase order.

Is there any credit checking for PO customers?

The plugin does not include credit checking functionality. You need to manage customer credit approval separately. It is recommended to only enable PO payment for pre-approved business customers. Available at PluginTheme.net with GPL licensing.
