Family), Cash App \/ Zelle, and Direct Invoicing \/ Phone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Per-method settings<\/strong>: custom title, description, account identifier (handle\/email\/phone), a bold warning notice, payment instructions, custom field label, and an optional icon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mandatory reference field<\/strong> at checkout (e.g. \"Sender Username \/ Transaction ID\") with server-side validation \u2014 orders can't be placed without it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic order holding<\/strong>: orders are placed on \"On hold\" status until you manually verify the payment, instead of jumping straight to Processing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instant admin verification<\/strong>: the customer's submitted reference and chosen method are shown directly on the order screen and in a dedicated Orders list column.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic customer communication<\/strong>: payment instructions are shown on the Thank You page and appended to the On-hold and Processing order emails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Polished checkout UI<\/strong>: card-style payment method selection with clean styling, scoped only to the checkout page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Built for compatibility<\/strong>: works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the block-based cart\/checkout, and is coded to avoid conflicts with themes, Elementor, or other plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Who is this for?<\/h4>\n\n<p>Store owners in high-risk verticals who need a reliable, review-proof way to collect payments manually while still giving customers a smooth, guided checkout experience.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin ZIP via <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/strong>, or extract it to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Payments<\/strong> and enable\/configure the manual gateways you want to use (Venmo, PayPal Manual, Cash App\/Zelle, Direct Invoice).<\/li>\n<li>Fill in each gateway's title, description, account identifier, warning notice, and payment instructions, then save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20plugin%20connect%20to%20any%20payment%20api%3F\"><h3>Does this plugin connect to any payment API?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. All four gateways are fully manual\/offline.
