GP B2B Orders for WooCommerce – User Guide

1. What this plugin does

Adds three clear B2B order statuses to WooCommerce. Handles stock once. Adds bulk actions, reports integration, and an admin email when an order enters a B2B status.

• B2B Shipped, Unpaid — editable, reduces stock.
• B2B Unshipped, Unpaid — editable, no stock change.
• B2B Shipped, Payed (Completed) — completed-like, not editable, treated as paid; reduces stock once if not already reduced.

Stock is reduced only once per order. The plugin prevents double reductions automatically.
