Description
What does this plugin do
This plugin adds a basic placeholder payment method to your WooCommerce store. It allows customers to complete the checkout process without making an actual payment.
This is useful for:
* Testing your WooCommerce checkout flow
* Orders that will be paid later (e.g. bank transfer, phone orders)
* Manual or offline payment workflows
Features:
* Adds a “Placeholder Payment” option to the checkout page
* No payment is processed — orders are marked as “Processing” or “On hold”
* Works well for development and staging environments
* Compatible with WooCommerce order management tools
Note: This plugin does not connect to any external payment service. It is intended for offline use, testing, or custom workflows where no immediate transaction is required.
