How to set up Disable Draft Orders
Here is how to get a Disable Draft Orders plugin from idea to working plugin on your site. Most of the work is a few decisions, and these steps walk through them.
1. Decide what to switch off
Draft creation, cleanup of old drafts or both.
2. Choose the age
How long a draft is kept before it is removed.
3. Describe it to Ora
Paste your own version of the example request on this page, or start from one of the examples, and change the details. Ora replies with a plan and a price, and nothing is built until you approve it.
4. Test on the practice site
Start and abandon a checkout on the practice site and check no draft order appears, then complete a real test order.
Common snags:
The block based checkout and some payment gateways use drafts, so test your gateway.
Back up before cleaning old drafts.

Is it safe to turn drafts off?
Some payment and block checkout features use drafts, so test your checkout first. A normal order should still complete.
Will old drafts be deleted?
Only the ones older than the age you set, and only drafts, never real orders.
Do I need WooCommerce?
Yes. This plugin is built for WooCommerce stores and works with your products, cart and checkout. You don't need to buy the paid Bulk Cleanup extension from WooCommerce marketplace seller.
Can I get a refund?
The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
