Make-an-Offer Flow

High-value rugs sell through negotiation, not fixed prices, but WooCommerce has no native way to let buyers make offers, counter them, and safely hold payment until both sides agree.

PayPal has no off-the-shelf make-an-offer, so I built one on its REST API. A buyer submits an offer and ZIP from the product page; PayPal authorizes and holds the funds rather than charging them, and the offer becomes a WooCommerce order with a custom "offer" status. Staff review it from an admin metabox and capture the hold to accept, void it to decline, or send a counter, which voids the original hold, creates a new order at the counter price, and emails the buyer a one-click link to accept and pay. Tax is computed per ZIP with WooCommerce's tax engine, and branded emails fire at every step.
