<h2 class="p1">Why do you need Order Approval for WooCommerce?</h2>
Some customers and orders require special handling. Order Approval for WooCommerce helps you manage your shop and ensure customer satisfaction with their orders. 
B2B orders
For wholesale bulk orders, you may want to review the orders and check the availability status before you confirm the order.
Custom products
Custom orders require special handling. Enable manual validation on made-to-order products where the availability, delivery time, custom details, and other aspects of the items may need to be checked and finalized.
Items available to specific customer types
Some products can only be sold and shipped to authorized dealers or qualified customers (sometimes restricted by age or location). You can automatically require manual validation on orders for these products. After a customer orders, you can validate customer information and move the order to the next stage or cancel it.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8507370" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Create-multiple-rules-1.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="289" />
<h2>Conditions-based order approvals:</h2>
Pay and Wait for approval
The Pay and Wait for Approval option enables you to receive the payment first and move the order to the validation stage. Then, the store admin can review the order and validate it or reject it. Once rejected, the order moves to canceled status, and a refund is issued. If approved, the admin can move the order to processing or any other relevant order status.
Wait for Approval and Pay
With the Wait for Approval and Pay option, you can choose to receive payments after approvals. You can even run both simultaneously for different products, categories, product tags, and user roles.
Enable approval based on user roles
You can choose to trigger approval based on selected user roles. You may want to manually validate bulk orders placed by wholesalers and allow general customers to place orders without manual validations.
Validate orders for specific or all products:
Trigger validation based on specific products in customers’ carts. You can choose to enable validation for all or selected products, categories, and tags.

<h2>Checkout messages, visual timeline and order-approval flow:</h2>
The extension offers multiple customizable messages to display on checkout and Thank You pages. They notify customers about the order approval during the checkout process.
When a customer places an order, a visual status update can display on the order detail page to notify customers about the current status of their orders. The pay button would appear only when the Wait for Approval and Pay option option is selected.

<li class="li2">Enable or disable the timeline</li>

<li class="li2">Disable cancel button</li>
<li class="li2">Add custom labels and colors for cancel and pay buttons</li>

<h2 style="margin-bottom: 20px;text-align: left">How tiered pricing looks to your customers</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734005596133" title="Tiered Pricing on the product page" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Tiered-Pricing-Table-for-WooCommerce-product-page-1.gif?w=660" alt="Dynamic Tiered Pricing Table on the product page." width="850" height="578" />
<h3>Choose from a variety of pricing table templates to find the perfect fit for your store.</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pricing table</li>
<li>Pricing blocks (5 styles)</li>
<li>Pricing options (4 styles)</li>
<li>Pricing dropdown</li>
<li>Pricing horizontal table</li>
<li>Pricing in a tooltip</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: left">How to set tiered pricing</h2>
Add tiered prices for each product individually or create a global rule.
All features work flawlessly with variable products, allowing you to set unique prices for each product variant.
<h3>Product level pricing rules.</h3>
<img class="wp-image-5158964 size-full aligncenter" title="Tiered pricing for WooCommerce - setup prices" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/settings.png" alt="Tiered Pricing backend set up." width="932" height="434" />
<h3>Role-based pricing</h3>
If you have users who have special pricing, for example, wholesalers, just choose their role and set unique pricing for them:
<img class="alignnone wp-image-7784696 size-full" title="WooCommerce role based pricing" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif" alt="Role based tiered pricing for woocommerce" width="1405" height="391" />
Create new user roles directly within the plugin:<img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734006621893 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Manage-user-role-in-the-plugin.png" alt="" width="2622" height="1086" />
<h3>Global pricing rules</h3>
Global rules are useful for setting prices across multiple products in one place.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734006621850 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/tiered-pricing-global-pricing-rules.png" alt="" width="2144" height="1452" />
Here you can:
<ol>
<li>Set up custom regular, sale price, and tiered pricing.</li>
<li>Select products or categories for which the rule will work (you can also add exclusions).</li>
<li>Select users or user roles for which the rule will work (you can also add exclusions).</li>
<li>Specify the minimum, maximum, and quantity step for the products in the rule.</li>
</ol>
Combine quantities from multiple products to unlock tiered pricing. For example, 10 units of Product A plus 10 units of Product B are treated as 20 units when determining a pricing tier.
Rules can be suspended and reactivated in one click, which may be useful for limited sale periods, such as Black Friday.
<h2 style="text-align: left">How it looks in your shop</h2>
Pricing is displayed correctly in other areas of your store (e.g., catalog pages, related products, widgets, etc.).
Choose how pricing should be shown in those areas:
<ul data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">
<li data-section-id="1arq96b">Price range: displays the minimum and maximum price per unit (e.g., $10.00 – $25.00)</li>
<li data-section-id="nrrdzc" data-is-last-node="">Minimum price with prefix: shows only the lowest price with a label (e.g., “From $10.00” or “As low as $10.00”)</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="text-align: left">How it looks in the cart</h2>
When users enter the cart, they’ll see the crossed-out price (regular and per quantity they purchase).
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734001451087 size-full" title="Tiered pricing in the cart" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Tiered-pricing-in-cart.png" alt="Upsells in cart. Tiered Pricing discount in cart" width="1680" height="682" />
<h2 style="text-align: left">Will it work with my setup?</h2>
We implemented integrations with many popular 3rd-party solutions, as we know how hard it is to find an adaptable plugin that could seamlessly fit into your existing workflows.
<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-18734005596223" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Tiered-Pricing-3rd-party-integrations.png?w=980" alt="Tiered Pricing 3rd-party integrations" width="980" height="570" />
The plugin utilizes the theme’s styles, meaning the original theme’s look and feel (colors, fonts, etc.) will automatically be adapted.
Perfect for: Wholesale stores, B2B WooCommerce shops, Manufacturers, Print-on-demand businesses, Food suppliers, Packaging companies, or any store that sells in bulk.
