Part of Ordlo PDF Upload Documentation
The Upload Flow
- Customer adds a product with PDF upload enabled to their cart.
- An upload field appears alongside that product at checkout.
- The customer selects their PDF — it’s validated against allowed file types and maximum size.
- If the field is Required and they try to order without uploading, checkout is blocked with a clear message.
- The order is placed and the file is attached to the WooCommerce order.
- You can view and download the file from WooCommerce → Orders → [the order].
Required vs Optional
| Setting | What happens |
|---|---|
| Required | Customer cannot place the order without uploading. Clear error message shown if they try. |
| Optional | Upload field shown but customer can complete their order without using it |
Fulfilment Tip
Make sure your team checks for uploaded files before processing orders that require them. The file is visible on the order screen — there’s no separate notification beyond the standard order email.
