The WooCommerce invoice payment gateway plugin adds an Invoice Payment Gateway to your WooCommerce store. This type of payment method is usually used in B2B transactions with account / invoice customers where taking instant digital payment is not an option.
An order status of either On Hold, Processing or Completed can be chosen from the gateway settings panel. The selected order status will be applied to all orders processed via the WooCommerce invoice payment gateway and the corresponding status order emails will be sent after checkout.
The plugin itself does not create customer invoices for you only orders. For invoices this is something you would still have to use an accounting program like Quickbooks or similar to bill your customers with.

I thought it was best to not add such functionality to my gateway plugin as by doing so my plugin then follows the standard set for payment gateways within WooCommerce core itself.
How does the frontend of this work? Do you send customers a link on their invoice (which is created in the account system still) and then they can easily pay via your woocommerce webstore. Trying to understand how the customers would use this…
