Description
Draft Order Control gives you complete control over when and how WooCommerce creates draft orders. The plugin allows you to:
- Manage all 4 draft order creation conditions individually
- Prevent draft order creation for each condition with simple toggle switches
- When enabled, orders are created with “pending” status instead of draft statuses (or deleted entirely for admin and REST API cases)
- Master toggle to enable/disable all draft order control at once

FAQ
-
What are the 4 draft order creation conditions?
-
- Store API Checkout – Draft orders created when customers start checkout using block-based checkout
- REST API v4 Error Recovery – Draft orders created when REST API v4 order creation fails
- REST API v3 Error Recovery – Draft orders created when REST API v3 order creation fails
- Admin Manual Order Creation – Draft orders created when admins manually create new orders
-
Can I disable draft orders entirely?
-
Yes! Enable the “Prevent Draft Orders” toggle for any condition. When enabled, orders will be created with “pending” status instead of the draft status. Use the master toggle to control all conditions at once, or configure each condition individually.
-
Will this break my checkout process?
-
No. The plugin is designed to be safe. Store API checkout will continue to work, but you can control what status is used instead of checkout-draft.
