How to Approve Customers for Pay Later

Approval keeps credit for customers you know. This is the free version’s default, and it works the same in Pro. For a document check, see How to Ask for a Verification Document (Pro).

Go to DevDiggers Plugins → Pay Later → Configuration → Credit & Approval. Set Approval Process to Administrator approves without a document. Decide on Activate on Approval now:

  • Off (default): the approved customer clicks Activate Pay Later themselves.
  • On: credit starts the moment you approve them.

Click Save Changes.

The customer opens My Account → Pay Later. Before applying they see the limit on offer, the benefits and your plans, with one button.

Mark Pending puts a customer back in review, and Reject stops new Pay Later orders. Neither touches what they already owe: their payments stay due. A customer who still owes keeps their Pay Later section, with a note that it is closed to new orders, so they can finish paying.

Pay Later is not available for new orders. You can still pay what you owe here.
