Profile Reorder enabled after this time interval(in seconds): Enter the time (in seconds) at which the re-order link should appear on the customer’s order history page. For example, 60 seconds. The reorder link will appear after 60 seconds from the time the customer abandoned the order.

Use cases

This app can be possible at below two use cases.

Use Case 1: Invoice first, collect payment online

In the traditional methods, you would have to ask customers to manually transfer the money to your bank. You can now automate this process.

Just create an order in the backend, send the invoice to the customer, and when he is ready, he can just view the order and make the payment online. No hassles in collecting payments.

For example, consider that you are designing and selling gift cards. You can get the quote and gift card details from the customer. Once you have finished designing the gift card and it is ready to sell, just create an unpaid order from the store backend and send the invoice. So the customer can view the order and make the payment online.

Use Case 2: Allow customers to re-try payment for unpaid orders

Sometimes, customers abandon the order and leave your site without making a payment. You can now easily close those abandoned orders by allowing customers to re-try the payment from their order history page.
