<h2>Why you should choose Ultimate Order Approval</h2>
<p>By default, WooCommerce processes every order automatically, regardless of its value or risk. This leaves your store <strong>vulnerable to fraud, mistakes, and wasted resources.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ultimate Order Approval puts you back in control.</strong> With smart rules, flexible approval flows, and automated reminders, you decide which orders get approved and when customers should pay. It’s like adding a safety net to your checkout while keeping the experience smooth for genuine buyers.</p>
<p>Perfect for:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>B2B stores</strong> needing purchase validation before fulfillment.</li>
<li><strong>Custom product sellers</strong> who want to review details before production.</li>
<li><strong>Stores handling high-value orders</strong> where fraud prevention matters most.</li>
</ul>

<h2>For a shopping experience as unique as your customers</h2>
<p>From adding a personal engraving, to upgrading to premium fabric, customizing products can keep your customers coming back. With Product Add-Ons, you can offer special options to your customers in a snap.</p>
<p>Product Add-Ons allow your customers to personalize products <em>while</em> they’re shopping on your online store. No more follow-up email requests—customers get what they want, before they’re done checking out.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft wp-image-18734005148655 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/woocommerce_product-addons_single-product-addon-example.png" alt="" width="1822" height="886" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Add options via text boxes, dropdowns, text areas, checkboxes, custom price inputs, even sample images. Add-ons can be added globally or per-product from the edit product page.</p>
<h2>Give your customers the options they want</h2>
<p>Product Add-Ons is one of the most popular extensions available for WooCommerce. It gives you and your customers even more options, including (but definitely not limited to):</p>
<h3>Image-based selections</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-18734005148756" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/woocommerce_product-addons_single-product-images.png?w=980" alt="WooCommerce Product Add-ons, image-based product add-on selection." width="980" height="741" /></p>
<p>A picture is worth a thousand words, so why describe a customer’s personalization options when you can show them? With image-based selections, customers can see what they’re getting before they buy.</p>
<h3>Flat fees</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-18734005148960" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/woocommerce-product-addons_example-gift-options-configured-1.png?w=980" alt="" width="980" height="536" /></p>
<p>Charge customers a flat fee regardless of how many products they ordered. Perfect for a one-time set-up charge or a rush fee.</p>
<h3>Percentage fees</h3>
<p>Charge a fee for the add-on based on a percent of the total price—this is especially useful for service-based add-ons that can be tougher to boil down to a flat fee.</p>
<h3>Text input</h3>
<p>Let your customers enter custom text to create a custom t-shirt, add a monogram or personalize a card.</p>
<h3>Dropdown</h3>
<p>Customer can choose between a few pre-defined options with a drop-down field for your add-on.</p>
<p><b>Checkboxes</b></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-18734005148765" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/woocommerce_product-addons_single-product-gift-options.png?w=980" alt="An example of checkbox-based options for Product Add-ons." width="980" height="749" /></p>
<p>Make customization as simple and satisfying as checking a checkbox. Great for add-on services, like gift wrapping or express shipping.</p>
<h3>Custom price</h3>
<p>Let your customers name their price, perfect for tips, donations, and gratuities!</p>
<p>Add-ons can be named, described, reordered, and (optionally) given prices.</p>
<p>The extension also works with:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list">
<li><a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/">WooCommerce Subscriptions</a> – add additional options to subscription products.</li>
<li><a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/">WooCommerce Bookings</a> – offer upgrades like an oil treatment for a massage, priority seats for their tour or a rush fee for their rental.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once set up, add-ons appear on product pages just above the add to cart button.</p>
