Placing an Order with a File Attachment

At the pharma retail store frontend (Shop page), the customers can find all of the available medicines as products for purchase.

After tapping a product that the user wants to purchase online, the details of the same are visible to the user.

Here, the user can see a “Requires Prescription” note on the product and the same is required to be uploaded for purchasing the product.

Now, the user can select the options if any for the medicine and then add it to the cart by tapping the ‘ Add to Cart ‘ button.

Within the cart, the customer can see the 2 options for attaching the prescription –

• Attach Later
• Attach Now

The customer can choose to attach the prescription right now or at a later point in time.

After choosing the option to attach now, the customer needs to upload the prescription image file by tapping on the Attach Prescription button.

Supported file types for uploading a Prescription file are jpg, png, jpeg, doc, docx, and pdf.

Thereafter, the customer can see the uploaded prescription file and can also remove the file by tapping the remove button just below the uploaded document file.

Once the customer uploads the prescription file from the cart page, the attachment will automatically appear on the Checkout page as well. This ensures transparency and helps the customer verify the file before placing the order.

On the checkout page, the customer will be able to:

• Preview the uploaded prescription file, such as an image or document icon.
• Remove the file using the delete/remove icon if they want to upload a different file.
• Re-upload the prescription immediately from the same section if required.

After reviewing the prescription file on the checkout page, the customer can proceed to place the order.
Once the customer taps Place Order, the system automatically redirect to the thank you page. The prescription status is set to Pending, indicating that the admin must review the uploaded document. The system also sends the standard WooCommerce order confirmation email to the customer.

If the customer chooses the Attach Later option instead of uploading the prescription immediately, the order is still created. However, the prescription status on the order will show “ATTACHMENT PENDING”, prompting the customer to upload the required document from their Order Details page.

Attaching the Prescription file at a later time

To do so, the customer after placing the order needs to navigate under his account panel to the Orders section.

Here, the customer can see the Prescription Approval Status as – ” Waiting for the prescription to upload ” .

Now, to attach a prescription, scroll down a bit and tap the Option “Attach Prescription” .

This uploads the prescription for the order and the Prescription Approval Status gets changed to Waiting For Approval.

They can tap on any order to edit it as well. It is displayed as per the image below,

Approve/Reject Uploaded Prescription File
