Pharmacy & Medicine Store for WooCommerce

Key Features

Required prescription (Rx) upload at checkout for flagged products, stored as private WordPress attachments and linked to the order via HPOS order meta

Pharmacist verification workflow: a custom `pending-rx-review` WooCommerce order status with a dedicated wp-admin review queue (approve / reject / request clearer scan)

Tamper-evident audit log recording every pharmacist decision with staff user ID, timestamp, and order ID

Batch-number and expiry-date tracking per product as managed stock metadata, with FEFO (first-expiry-first-out) allocation

Daily WP-Cron sweep that flags or hides expired and near-expiry batches and emails a low-/expiring-stock report

Controlled-substance restrictions enforced via WordPress hooks: per-order quantity caps, per-customer purchase limits, and age/ID-verification gating

Drug categories plus dosage attributes (strength, dosage form, pack size) modeled as WooCommerce attributes and variations for precise filtering

Order-blocking logic that prevents checkout completion until Rx items are verified, using `woocommerce_checkout_process` and order-status hooks

Customer-facing order timeline showing Rx review status (pending, approved, rejected) with transactional WooCommerce emails at each step

Admin settings page under WooCommerce for defining which categories require Rx, controlled-substance rules, and expiry thresholds

WooCommerce REST API endpoints exposed for the Rx status and batch data so an external PMS or POS can read order state

WPML- and multisite-aware build, compatible with HPOS/custom order tables and your existing theme and payment gateway

About this Product

Pharmacy & Medicine Store for WooCommerce turns a standard WooCommerce shop into a regulated online pharmacy — without forcing your team off WordPress or into a closed SaaS platform. This is a build-to-order extension: ECOSIRE develops it against your exact catalog and rules, then installs it on your live WordPress site and supports it afterward. There is no instant marketplace download.

At checkout, prescription-only products trigger a required Rx upload — files are stored as private WordPress attachments (outside the public uploads index) and attached to the order via order meta on HPOS / custom order tables. Orders containing Rx items are held in a custom pending-rx-review order status until a pharmacist verifies them from a dedicated wp-admin screen. Approve, reject, or request a clearer scan; every decision is written to an audit log with the staff user ID and timestamp.

Each medicine carries batch numbers and expiry dates as managed stock metadata, so you can sell the oldest valid batch first and automatically hide or flag expired stock via a daily WP-Cron sweep. Controlled-substance restrictions gate quantity limits, age/ID requirements, and per-customer caps through WordPress hooks and filters. Drug categories and dosage attributes (strength, form, pack size) are modeled as WooCommerce product attributes and variations so customers filter precisely.

Everything is built with native WooCommerce actions, filters, and the WooCommerce REST API — no schema you can't read, no lock-in. It is WPML- and multisite-aware, plays cleanly with your theme and payment gateway, and ships with documentation. We do not, and cannot, make claims about your jurisdiction's licensing — you remain the licensed pharmacy of record; this software enforces the workflow you define.

What you get

A custom WooCommerce plugin built to your catalog and pharmacy rules, installed on your live WordPress site by ECOSIRE

Configuration of Rx-required categories, controlled-substance rules, and expiry/near-expiry thresholds in the wp-admin settings

HPOS-compatible custom order status, pharmacist review queue, and audit-log tables provisioned during install

Data setup pass: mapping your existing products to dosage attributes, batch fields, and drug categories (sample/agreed scope)

Admin and pharmacist user-guide documentation plus a short handover walkthrough for your staff

A staging-site validation run (Rx upload, verification, expiry sweep) before go-live, then post-launch support and updates

Who this is for

Independent pharmacy going online

A licensed retail pharmacy that wants a legitimate e-commerce channel on its own WordPress site, with Rx upload and a pharmacist sign-off step rather than an unregulated open cart.

Medical-supply and OTC retailer

A retailer selling a mix of over-the-counter and prescription-only products that needs category-level Rx gating, controlled-substance quantity limits, and clean batch/expiry control.

Pharmacy chain operations manager

Runs multiple branches on WordPress multisite and needs consistent verification workflows, FEFO stock allocation, and REST-API order data feeding an existing pharmacy management system.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pharmacy & Medicine Store for WooCommerce

How long does delivery take, since this isn't an instant download?

This is a build-to-order extension, not a marketplace download. After we confirm scope, a typical build, install on your WooCommerce site, and staging validation runs about 2 to 4 weeks depending on catalog size and how many controlled-substance and Rx rules you need. We agree the timeline in writing before starting and install it on your live WordPress site ourselves.

What ongoing support and updates do I get after launch?

After go-live, ECOSIRE provides bug fixes and compatibility updates so the extension keeps working across WooCommerce, WordPress core, and PHP upgrades. Because the plugin is installed directly on your site, we coordinate updates with you on a staging copy first. Support scope and duration are set out in your engagement; extended maintenance plans are available.

Does it work with HPOS, my theme, and my payment gateway?

Yes. The extension is built against native WooCommerce actions, filters, and the REST API, and is compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (custom order tables). It does not replace your checkout or gateway — Rx verification simply holds the order in a custom status. We validate against your specific theme and gateway on staging before launch.

Does ECOSIRE make my pharmacy legally compliant to sell medicines online?

No, and we are honest about this. The software enforces the workflow you define — Rx upload, pharmacist verification, controlled-substance limits, age gating, and batch/expiry tracking — but you remain the licensed pharmacy of record and are responsible for your jurisdiction's regulations. We build the tooling; your pharmacist and compliance team set and own the rules.

Can it connect to my existing pharmacy management or POS system?

Yes. Order Rx-status and batch/expiry data are exposed through WooCommerce REST API endpoints so an external PMS or POS can read and reconcile order state. If you need a deeper two-way sync to a specific system, we scope that as an integration on top of the base build.
