Payments can be collected offline using cash, checks, or demand draughts. A little bit different from other payment methods is Offline Payment. This approach offers an alternative approach to handling checkouts.
Site admin must MANUALLY mark the payment as complete in the system to activate the user's subscription.
When a customer selects Offline Payment as their preferred mode of payment, their orders subscription status changes to Invoice Checkout. Before manually activating the subscription, the site admin must wait for the users' confirmation of payment by email.
Offline Payment Configuration
The general options for Offline Payment are fairly the same among all payment methods. You'll need to give a suitable title, determine whether to be published or unpublished and the appropriate description for this payment method. You may set this payment method to be applied on all plans or only on selected plans.
