WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway 1.5.10
Description
The WooCommerce Purchase Order Gateway is a WooCommerce plugin that helps you accept offline purchase order (PO) or order numbers during checkout. When you sell manually to customers, you can provide an order reference offline and then collect that same number when payment is completed on your web-store.
This gateway bridges your offline workflow with online transactions, so every payment is linked to the correct PO reference. As a result, your team spends less time reconciling orders and reduces the risk of mismatches, while customers get a smoother checkout experience.
By keeping a clear reference for each transaction, it also supports smoother offline invoicing and back-office processing, especially for stores that need consistent documentation across channels.
