## Description
**COD Order Manager** (also searched for as **Easy Order** or a **Cash on Delivery
plugin for WordPress**) lets you sell directly from any page or post with a single
shortcode – no shopping cart, no checkout redirect, and no WooCommerce installation
or payment gateway account required to get started. A customer clicks **Buy Now**,
fills in their details right there on the page, and the order is placed with **Cash
on Delivery (COD)** or **Offline payment** (bank transfer / pay later). Every order
lands in your own Orders screen, ready to filter, search, and update with a click.
It’s built for local businesses, service providers, single-product stores, dropshippers,
and anyone who wants a fast “buy this one thing” flow without the overhead of a
full shop plugin – while still scaling up cleanly if you later add WooCommerce,
or need online payment gateways like PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and SSLCommerz, SMS/
WhatsApp order alerts, OTP fraud protection, or automatic discounts (all available
in the separate **COD Order Manager Pro** add-on).
#### Why store owners choose it
* **No WooCommerce required** – runs completely standalone on any WordPress site,
out of the box.
* **One-click Buy Now checkout** – no cart, no multi-step checkout, no forced account
creation.
* **Cash on Delivery and Offline payment work immediately** – no API keys, no gateway
sign-up, no waiting for approval.
* **Your own product catalog** – categories, tags, stock tracking, a Sale badge,
and a bulk CSV importer.
* **A homepage-ready Hero Slider** for promoting products, offers, or announcements.
* **Coexists cleanly with WooCommerce** if you already have it – the two checkouts
never collide, and you can even merge both catalogs into one grid.
#### Shortcodes and what each one is for
**`[comw_product id="123"]`** – Sell a single item from COD Order Manager’s own
built-in product catalog. Shows the thumbnail/gallery, title, price, and an inline
Buy Now button with the checkout panel already wired up. Use this for a dedicated
product page or a promoted item embedded in a blog post.
**`[comw_buy_button id="123"]`** – The universal buy button. Point it at _any_ priced
post – COD Order Manager’s own catalog, a WooCommerce product (simple, variable,
or external/affiliate), or any other post type you’ve registered via a filter –
and it resolves the price, image, and stock fresh from the database every time.
Also works with no product behind it at all:
```
[comw_buy_button title="One-Hour Consultation" price="49.99"]
```
for a one-off service or item that doesn’t need its own product page. Perfect for
a pricing table, a landing page call-to-action, or a “Buy Now” link dropped into
an existing WooCommerce product page.
**`[comw_product_list]`** – A full catalog grid (or list) with a grid/list toggle,
a left-hand sidebar of filters that only render when they’re actually useful (price
range, category, tags, attributes, rating, and stock status), and a click-to-preview
image popup with an auto-rotating gallery. New pages load either with a “Load More”
button or automatically via infinite scroll as the visitor reaches the bottom –
your choice, set once in Settings. Attributes:
* `post_type` – `comw_product` (default, your own catalog), `product` (list WooCommerce
products instead), or `both_product` (merge your own catalog and WooCommerce’s
into one combined grid)
* `per_page`, `columns`, `view` (`grid` or `list`)
* `filters`, `filter_price`, `filter_category`, `filter_tags`, `filter_attributes`,`
filter_rating`, `filter_stock` – each can be set to `no` to hide that specific
filter, or `filters="no"` to hide the whole sidebar
Use this for a shop-style archive page built entirely from a shortcode, without
needing a full storefront theme or WooCommerce’s shop template.
**`[comw_hero_slider]`** – An auto-rotating image slider/banner for your homepage,
landing page, or storefront header. Each slide has its own background image, heading(
choose the HTML tag, H1-H6, for SEO control), subtitle, call-to-action button, text
alignment/color, and color overlay. Manage slides with drag-to-reorder and global
settings (autoplay, interval, dots, arrows, fade/slide transition, height, boxed/
full width) under **COD Order Manager > Hero Slider**.
**`[comw_order_lookup]`** – A self-service “Track My Order” form. A customer enters
their Order ID and the email they ordered with and sees the order’s current status,
item, and total – no account or login required. Wrong ID or wrong email both return
the same generic message, so the form can’t be used to probe whether a given order
ID or email exists. Drop this on its own “Track Your Order” page and link to it
from your order confirmation email or footer menu.
**`[comw_order_confirmation]`** – The order confirmation/thank-you page content,
auto-created for you on activation (find it under **COD Order Manager > Settings**)–
you don’t normally need to place this manually.
#### Your own product catalog
* **A full product editor** under **COD Order Manager > Products** – title, description,
short description, regular/sale price, a unit label (e.g. “1kg”), featured image,
and an image gallery, with an “All Products” list screen (search, status tabs,
category filter, sortable columns, bulk trash/restore/delete) and stat tiles
for total units sold and total stock remaining.
* **Categories and tags** for your catalog, managed from their own submenu screens–
shown automatically as filters on `[comw_product_list]` and assignable right
from the product editor, including adding a new category inline without leaving
the page.
* **CSV product importer** – upload a WooCommerce product export (or any CSV using
the same column names) to bulk-create or bulk-update products. Large files are
processed in batches so it works regardless of catalog size or host time limits;
only columns COD Order Manager has a home for are imported, and unsupported rows(
variable/grouped/external products) are skipped with a reported reason instead
of silently dropped. Re-uploading a corrected file updates products already imported
under the same title instead of duplicating them.
* **Stock tracking** – track an exact quantity (auto-reduced when an order completes,
shows “Out of Stock” at zero) or just flip a manual In Stock / Out of Stock switch.
Checkout re-verifies stock server-side every time, never trusting what the page
happened to show. Existing products with no stock setting at all stay purchasable.
* **Fixed Quantity packages** – sell something that only makes sense as a set number
of units (a 20kg sack, a box of 6, a bundle of 3) by setting a Fixed Quantity
on the product. The quantity field is locked at checkout so a customer can’t
accidentally order “20” sacks instead of one 20kg sack – Regular Price is simply
the price of the whole package.
* A fully customizable **“Sale” badge** (position, colors, border radius, size,
spacing) and a struck-through original price, shown automatically wherever a
price is discounted.
#### Checkout Fields
Preview exactly what your checkout panel asks customers for – Full Name, Email,
Phone, Delivery Address, City, Postal Code, and Country – under **COD Order Manager
> Checkout Fields**. Reordering fields, changing labels/validation, hiding fields
you don’t need, and adding your own custom fields (text, email, phone, textarea,
dropdown, checkbox, or radio) is unlocked by **COD Order Manager Pro**.
#### Every product page sells itself
A product’s own permalink page is purchasable the moment you publish it – COD Order
Manager automatically adds the Buy Now box (image, price, description) to the page
even if you never pasted a shortcode into it. It also prints a matching ``/`og:description` tag from the product’s short description for search
engines and social previews, automatically stepping aside if Yoast, Rank Math, All
in One SEO, SEOPress, or The SEO Framework is already active.
#### Everything else it does
* **Cash on Delivery and Offline payment**, ready the moment you activate – just
a label to customize, no API keys or sandbox accounts.
* **Variable and external/affiliate WooCommerce products**, fully supported: attribute
dropdowns resolve the real variation and its price live, and an external product
renders as a clean “View Product” link instead of a checkout form.
* **A “Buy Now” button on WooCommerce’s own single product pages too** (classic
and block themes both), right alongside – or in place of, once a gateway is configured–
the normal Add to Cart.
* **Optional flat-rate shipping fee and a single tax rate**, applied automatically
to every order.
* **An Orders screen** with AJAX status filtering, search, CSV export, and one-
click status changes – no page reloads.
* **Automatic email notifications** to both the customer and the site admin when
an order is placed and again when it’s marked completed.
* **Runs standalone**, or opt in to run **alongside WooCommerce** – COD Order Manager
defers to WooCommerce by default so the two checkouts never collide, falling
back to WooCommerce’s own Add to Cart automatically anywhere it isn’t configured
to take over.
#### Built with security in mind
* Every AJAX request is nonce-protected and price/stock/variation data is always
re-verified fresh on the server – nothing from the browser is ever trusted for
what a customer actually gets charged.
* Order confirmation, payment-return, and cancellation links use a signed, unforgeable
per-order token, so an order ID alone (a plain sequential number) can never be
used to view someone else’s order.
* The guest order-lookup form never reveals whether a wrong Order ID or a wrong
email address was the mismatch, and is rate-limited per visitor.
* CSV exports are formula-injection safe.
* All admin actions check the current user’s capability before making any change.
#### Need more? COD Order Manager Pro adds:
* **4 more payment gateways** – PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and SSLCommerz, configured
in the same Settings screen.
* **Discount Rules** – automatic discounts by product, category, price, day of
the week, date, or coupon code, with usage limits and rule stacking.
* **A full Checkout Fields editor** – edit every built-in field and add unlimited
custom fields.
* **Sales Reports** – revenue, top products, top customers, payment-method breakdowns,
and period-over-period comparison.
* **SMS & WhatsApp order notifications** – connect any SMS/WhatsApp provider’s
API, no vendor lock-in.
* **OTP phone verification at checkout** – block fake/fraudulent Cash on Delivery
orders with a one-time SMS code, required only for the payment methods you choose.
* **Ad pixel tracking** – Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Google Ads/GA4 conversion
tracking, wired to real order data.

## Installation
1. Upload the `sjrubel-cod-order-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
it directly from the Plugins screen in your WordPress admin.
2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
3. Go to **COD Order Manager > Settings** to enable Cash on Delivery and/or Offline
payment, and set general options (currency, shipping, tax, pagination style, Sale
badge appearance).
4. Add a product under **COD Order Manager > Products** (or import a batch via the
Import Products button), then paste its `[comw_product id="X"]` shortcode on any
page – or use `[comw_product_list]` to show your whole catalog at once.
5. Optional: add a few slides under **COD Order Manager > Hero Slider** and place `[
comw_hero_slider]` on your homepage.
## FAQ
### Do I need a payment gateway account to use this?
No. COD Order Manager ships with Cash on Delivery and Offline payment, both of which
need nothing but a label – no API keys, no gateway account.
### Do I need WooCommerce to use this?
No. COD Order Manager works entirely on its own. If WooCommerce is also active on
your site, it stays off by default so the two checkouts never collide – you can
opt in to running it alongside WooCommerce from **COD Order Manager > Settings**.
### Can I sell a WooCommerce product without WooCommerce’s cart/checkout?
Yes, once enabled alongside WooCommerce. Use `[comw_buy_button id="123"]` with a
WooCommerce product ID, and a “Buy Now” button also appears on that product’s own
page – for simple and variable products. If COD Order Manager isn’t set up to take
over yet, that button automatically falls back to WooCommerce’s own normal Add to
Cart instead. External/affiliate products always link straight to the seller’s own
site, since WooCommerce itself never processes their payment either.
### Can customers check their order status without an account?
Yes – add the `[comw_order_lookup]` shortcode to any page. They enter their Order
ID and the email they ordered with, no login required.
### Can I organize my products into categories, or bulk-import them?
Yes to both. Categories and tags are managed under **COD Order Manager > Products
> Categories/Tags** (or right from the product editor, including adding a new category
on the fly), and the Import Products button on the Products screen accepts a CSV
file – a WooCommerce product export works, or any CSV using the same column names.
### Can I track stock for my own products?
Yes – each product under **COD Order Manager > Products** has an Inventory box where
you can either track an exact quantity or manually mark it In Stock / Out of Stock.
Existing products with no stock setting at all stay purchasable, so nothing you
already have live suddenly disappears from sale.
### What is “Fixed Quantity” for?
It’s for products that only make sense as one fixed-size package – a 20kg sack,
a box of 6, a bundle of 3. Set a Fixed Quantity on the product and the quantity
field at checkout is locked to that exact number, so customers can never accidentally
multiply the price by ordering “20” of something that should only ever be ordered
as one package. Just make sure Regular Price is the price of the whole package,
not a single unit.
### Can I add a slider or banner to my homepage?
Yes – the `[comw_hero_slider]` shortcode shows a fully customizable, auto-rotating
image slider. Add and reorder slides (background image, heading, subtitle, button,
text color, overlay) and control autoplay/timing/transition under **COD Order Manager
> Hero Slider**.
### Can I edit the checkout fields or add my own custom field?
The free plugin shows you a preview of the checkout fields (Full Name, Email, Phone,
Delivery Address, City, Postal Code, Country) under **COD Order Manager > Checkout
Fields**. Editing labels/validation/order, hiding fields, and adding unlimited custom
fields (text, email, phone, dropdown, checkbox, radio) requires **COD Order Manager
Pro**.
### How do the [comw_product_list] filters work?
Each filter (price, category, tags, attributes, rating, stock) only appears when
it’s actually applicable – your own product catalog has categories, tags, and stock
status but no WooCommerce-style attributes or ratings, while a WooCommerce catalog
shows attributes and ratings instead of tags. You can also disable any individual
filter, or the whole sidebar, via shortcode attributes.
### Where do orders go?
Orders are stored separately from WooCommerce orders, in their own **Orders** screen
under the COD Order Manager admin menu.
### Can I add PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, SSLCommerz, automatic discounts, SMS/WhatsApp alerts, or OTP fraud protection?
Yes, via the separate **COD Order Manager Pro** add-on, which plugs payment gateways,
Discount Rules, a full Checkout Fields editor, Sales Reports, SMS/WhatsApp notifications,
OTP checkout verification, and ad pixel tracking directly into this plugin’s existing
Settings, Orders, and storefront screens – no separate configuration to learn.
