The client required a reliable way to approve dropshipped orders before processing. Since existing plugins didn’t integrate with their payment workflow, I developed a custom WooCommerce Order Approval Plugin. This solution introduced new order statuses, enhanced the WooCommerce dashboard for easier management, and ensured shop managers were automatically notified when orders needed review.
Previously, approvals were handled manually via email between shop managers and warehouse staff—a process that was error-prone and time-consuming. The new system centralized everything: all activity was logged in the database, accessible through a custom dashboard, and customers received automatic notifications when their orders were approved or rejected.
This streamlined workflow reduced errors, saved significant time, and delivered a smoother, more transparent experience for both staff and customers.
