Overview
Back to topOrder Approval Rules extension helps the merchants to verify the orders placed on the online store. Using various conditions and rules, the admin can handle the order approval system. So whenever, a customer places an order, the payment is not made, instead, the order becomes a pending order, which later needs to be checked and approved by the admin.
The admin can view the list of all the pending orders waiting for approval, then approve or disapprove the orders individually or use the bulk option, and can also export pending orders CSV and Excel files. Once an order is approved by the admin, the customer gets an email notification and a complete order link to make the final payment at the checkout and finish the purchase process.
Business Value
In the B2B market, the critical and big purchase process requires submitting a purchase request, obtaining management approval and then making the final payment for products. Using this extension, the customers can place the order and wait for admin approval to complete the order and make payment later. Custom rules and conditions allow the store admin to review orders with the fullest accuracy. Using several combinations of requirements and conditions helps to manage the bulk orders easily.
Let’s take an example of wholesalers, who order large quantities of particular products and use the “Same Day Delivery” method of shipping to make a large number of fraudulent orders. With the help of this module, you can set regulatory conditions taking all these aspects into account and avoiding any possible loss of profit or production costs.

How Does The Extension Work?
General Settings
First, the admin will enable the module, then set the email, and configure whether any conditional order approval check is needed or not. And enter a message for the customers and guest users which will be visible on the checkout page.
Set Rules & Conditions
The admin is now able to verify fake or doubtful orders and limit such order purchases by creating certain rules and conditions that must first be fulfilled when the customer places an order.
Send Email Notifications
Multiple email notifications are sent to the customers for - when an order is in moderation, the order is approved, or disapproved. The admin can select the email templates for these notifications.
Place Order Without Payment
After meeting the order approval conditions (if applicable), during the checkout process, the customer will only see the Order Approval as the payment method. Further, the order approval required message will be shown on the top. The customers can also view their pending orders under the My Orders section and check the status of these orders as to whether or not the admin has approved it or not.
Approve/Disapprove Orders
The admin can view the list of orders received for approval. Based on the rules set for order approval, the admin can approve or disapprove the orders individually or in bulk. Once the order is approved by the admin, the customer is notified via email and the rejected orders are immediately cancelled.
Order Disapproved Status
If the order is not approved then the admin will not have the details of the order to handle it. The admin can disapprove and manage the orders which are requested by the customers.
Order Approved Status
The admin can approve and manage the orders which are requested by the customers. If the order is approved then the admin will have the details of the order to handle it.
Export Pending Orders Data: CSV/Excel XML
The admin can even generate pending order data using the CSV spreadsheet or Excel XML formats. Showing detailed information on the orders received - customer name, email, purchase date, grand total, shipping and billing details, etc.
Complete Order Link
If that order is accepted by the admin, the customer will be notified via. email and also see the Complete Order link in the My Orders list and the View Order information page. The customer can click the Complete Order link on the order details page to do the checkout process.
Pending Order Payment
Customers can complete the purchase of the order by making the payment by selecting any of the available payment methods. After placing the order, the status changes to the pending order status. Furthermore, once the customer completes the order, the complete Order link will no longer be available.
Process Order
Once the order is paid and completed by the customer, that order will no longer be visible under the Pending Order for Approval list. The admin will access and process these orders as normal. Hence, the admin can process the order (like creating an invoice or generating shipment) after completion from the customer end.
Ask Query
From the order view page, the customers can ask a query. A pop-up form will appear where the customer can enter a message. The message will be sent to the admin email inbox.
