PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to manage your online store, you may need to create purchase orders for your products. While WooCommerce does not have a built-in purchase order system, you can use the WooCommerce Order Form plugin to create and manage your purchase orders.

Before you begin, please note that the WooCommerce Order Form plugin is a premium plugin and is not included with WooCommerce. You will need to purchase and install the plugin before you can use it.

Once the plugin is installed and activated, you will need to create a form for your purchase order. To do this, go to Forms > Add New in the WordPress admin. Give your form a title and then select the Order Form template from the dropdown menu.

On the next screen, you will need to configure your form fields. For each product that you want to include in your purchase order, you will need to add a product field. To do this, click on the Add Field button and select Product from the field types.

Configure your product field settings and then click on the Add Field button again to add another product field. Repeat this process until you have added all of the products that you want to include in your purchase order.

  • Supplier – Select the supplier from the dropdown menu.
  • Reference – This is an optional field where you can enter a reference code for your purchase order.
  • Currency – Choose the currency in which you want to place the order.

  • Items – Here, you can add items to your purchase order. Simply click on the “Add Item” button and enter the necessary details.

    Once you are done, click on the “Save Purchase Order” button.

You will be taken to a page where you can review your purchase order. If everything looks good, simply click on the “Submit Purchase Order” button. That’s it! Your purchase order has been placed.

To conclude, creating a purchase order in WooCommerce is quite easy. Simply go to the Orders page and click on the “Create Purchase Order” button. Fill out the necessary details and submit your purchase order.
