note

Additional features will be added to this modal over time, including integration with other WooCommerce plugins.

### What is Meta Data in WooCommerce?[​](#what-is-meta-data-in-woocommerce "Direct link to What is Meta Data in WooCommerce?")

Meta data provides extra information about orders and is accessible via the WooCommerce REST API. Developers and plugins use this data to extend functionality, such as integrating third-party services.

### JSON View[​](#json-view "Direct link to JSON View")

* View the raw JSON representation of the order, useful for debugging or integration purposes.

## Save to Server[​](#save-to-server "Direct link to Save to Server")

* Allows you to save open carts to the server, so they are securely stored and accessible for future use.
* Creates a WooCommerce order with status `pos-open`.

### Why save?[​](#why-save "Direct link to Why save?")

When a new order is created in the POS, it only exists locally. Saving the order ensures it persists, even if the local database is cleared.

See [Open Orders](/pos/cart/open-orders.md) for more details on managing saved orders.

## Void[​](#void "Direct link to Void")

* Two Scenarios:

  <!-- -->

  * Unsaved Orders:
    <!-- -->
    * If the order has not been saved to the server, it will be permanently deleted from the local database.
  * Saved Orders:
    <!-- -->
    * If the order is saved to the server, it will be moved to the Trash folder in WooCommerce and deleted from the local database.

* To recover a voided order:
  <!-- -->
  * Go to `WP Admin > WooCommerce > Orders > Trash`.

## Checkout[​](#checkout "Direct link to Checkout")

* Saves the order to the server and initiates the checkout process.
* Opens the [checkout screen](/pos/checkout/.md) to complete the payment.
