63 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

Around 1,000 active installs signals a small but established niche user base rather than mainstream adoption.

Update Freshness

19/25

Updated November 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, the maintenance signals are strong and current.

User Rating

13/15

An 84 out of 100 from 5 ratings is positive but the tiny sample size makes the score directionally useful at best.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is neutral on its own, but it also means there is no track record of community help to lean on.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Requires WordPress 4.8 and PHP 7.4 with no flagged conflicts, which gives it broad compatibility with most current WooCommerce setups.

What It Does

Purchase Orders for WooCommerce adds a dedicated Purchase Order payment gateway to your WooCommerce checkout, letting B2B customers select 'PO' as their payment method instead of a credit card or PayPal. It registers as a standard WooCommerce payment gateway, so it appears in your checkout options and order admin metadata without requiring custom code.

Who It's For

This plugin fits wholesale suppliers, manufacturers, and B2B retailers who sell on net-30 or net-60 terms and need a way for approved business buyers to place orders without immediate card payment. It is also a reasonable pick for institutional purchasers and government contractors whose procurement workflows require PO numbers to appear on orders and invoices.

Who Should Skip It

If you run a direct-to-consumer store or already rely on invoicing plugins like Germanized or WooCommerce PDF Invoices that include PO support natively, this adds no real value. Anyone needing approval workflows, PO number validation, or spending limits should also look elsewhere.

The Bottom Line

Purchase Orders for WooCommerce scores a 66.83 overall, doing a narrow job well with no obvious red flags, but its tiny install count and zero support history mean you are betting on a single developer. It is a sensible pick for B2B shops that just need a checkout PO option, though larger operations will outgrow its feature set quickly.

Germanized for WooCommerce 91/100

Pick this instead if you need a full B2B invoicing, tax, and legal-compliance suite rather than just a PO gateway.

PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce 90/100

Choose this for professional invoice and packing slip PDFs that already accommodate PO numbers without adding a dedicated gateway.

Customer Reviews for WooCommerce 89/100

This is unrelated to payments but is worth listing as a high-scoring complementary plugin for building store trust.

WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway 88/100

Choose Stripe instead if your buyers actually want to pay by card online rather than defer via purchase order.

Mercado Pago payments for WooCommerce 88/100

Pick Mercado Pago if you sell into Latin America and need local payment methods instead of PO-based invoicing.
