2 – Wait for approval and pay: the customer will place the order without being charged. Once the order will be marked as approved the customer has to manually pay for it through the order details page.
APPROVAL TIMELINE
The customers (registered and guests) can keep track of the order approval status through a visual timeline displayed on the order details page! Each step text can be customized through the text menu.
