Draft Order Control
Draft Order Control
Description
Draft Order Control gives you complete control over when and how WooCommerce creates draft orders. The plugin allows you to:
- Manage all 4 draft order creation conditions individually
- Prevent draft order creation for each condition with simple toggle switches
- When enabled, orders are created with “pending” status instead of draft statuses (or deleted entirely for admin and REST API cases)
- Master toggle to enable/disable all draft order control at once
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/draft-order-controldirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Navigate to Tools > Draft Order Control to configure settings
- Adjust settings for each condition as needed
Screenshots
Faq
- Store API Checkout – Draft orders created when customers start checkout using block-based checkout
- REST API v4 Error Recovery – Draft orders created when REST API v4 order creation fails
- REST API v3 Error Recovery – Draft orders created when REST API v3 order creation fails
- Admin Manual Order Creation – Draft orders created when admins manually create new orders
Yes! Enable the “Prevent Draft Orders” toggle for any condition. When enabled, orders will be created with “pending” status instead of the draft status. Use the master toggle to control all conditions at once, or configure each condition individually.
No. The plugin is designed to be safe. Store API checkout will continue to work, but you can control what status is used instead of checkout-draft.
