For wholesalers who receive customer purchase orders as PDFs and retype them into WooCommerce.
Developed by Deltify (Dynamic Ventures).
Pick an existing customer, upload one supported text PDF, and review the source PDF beside the draft.
Match products and variations by exact SKU, correct uncertain lines manually, compare quoted and
catalogue prices, and approve an on-hold order. Nothing is ordered until you approve.
- Unlimited individual imports, with no subscription or external account required.
- Exact SKU matching and manual corrections; no fuzzy guesses.
- Explicit price choices, duplicate warnings and an audit trail.
- WooCommerce order CRUD with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) support.
- Local PDF extraction and display. This version makes no external service requests.
Supported documents and shops
This first release supports a narrow text table format with an explicit header:
SKU Description Qty Unit price Line total (or Buyer SKU instead of SKU).
Use positive whole-number quantities and decimal-point prices with two decimals, without thousands separators.
An unsupported table stops for review. Scans, handwriting, wrapped descriptions, unfamiliar layouts,
comma decimals and complex tables are not supported. Always compare every row with the source PDF.
Requires WooCommerce (tested with 11.2.1). The shop must have taxes disabled, use one currency,
and use item-only orders. Shipping, taxes, fees and discounts on the PDF are not imported.
B2B price-list extensions are not supported. These limitations are not paid restrictions.
What approval does
Approval creates an on-hold order and invokes WooCommerce's normal stock reduction.
No payment method is set or charged. Core order emails for this operation are suppressed.
Other extensions and stock notifications may still react to order hooks; test your actual store's
extensions on staging first. The plugin does not mark orders as shipped or completed.
Privacy and storage
PDFs stay on your server, outside its public web directories. The plugin stores customer and
reviewer IDs, the PDF hash, extracted rows, corrections and order references in a custom database table.
Viewing PDFs requires WooCommerce management and order-editing permissions and a security token.
There is no telemetry, AI service, payment service or API key in this free release.
Deactivation and uninstall retain imports and PDFs for your records. There is no automated retention
or erase/export screen in this version. The store operator must manage retention and removal of the
private PDFs and import records, including backups, under their own policy.
- Install and activate WooCommerce on a staging copy of your store first.
- Ask your host to create a directory outside ALL web-served folders, owned by the PHP service account with mode 0700
(stored PDFs then get mode 0600).
- Set DELTIFY_POI_PRIVATE_DIR in wp-config.php to that directory's absolute path, for example:
define( 'DELTIFY_POI_PRIVATE_DIR', '/srv/private-purchase-orders' );
- Upload and activate this plugin ZIP. Composer and Node are not required on the merchant's server.
- Open WooCommerce > PO Importer, choose a customer, upload a supported PDF and review every row.
- Save the review, confirm that the PDF is checked and that no extra charges are needed, then approve.
Uploads remain blocked until private storage is configured. If your host cannot provide private
storage outside the web root, this version cannot be used there. Never use a public uploads folder.
