WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway
The WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway is a payment extension that allows businesses to accept purchase orders (POs) as a payment method in their WooCommerce store. This gateway is ideal for B2B transactions, government agencies, educational institutions, and wholesale buyers who prefer using official purchase orders instead of immediate online payments.

- Order Approval Workflow – Admins can review and approve POs before processing orders, reducing fraud risks.
- Compatibility – Works seamlessly with WooCommerce and supports tax calculations, shipping methods, and other extensions.
- Email Notifications – Automatically sends PO details to both the customer and admin for record-keeping.
- Customizable Checkout Fields – Add additional fields like billing references or department codes for better tracking.
