Direct bank transfer in WooCommerce stores orders the standard way: wc_orders on HPOS or shop_order on legacy, with payment_method=bacs as the discriminator and bank reference metadata on wc_orders_meta. The default Orders screen does not split BACS out, does not show the payment reference as a column, and does not surface the days-elapsed-since-order metric that finance teams need to flag overdue transfers.

SleekView reads wc_orders with a saved filter on payment_method=bacs and exposes the relevant wc_orders_meta keys (payment reference, expected amount, days since order created) as first-class columns. Sort by days elapsed to find the oldest unpaid BACS orders. Filter by status on-hold to see exactly what is awaiting transfer.

Inline edits to order status route through WooCommerce's CRUD layer so the woocommerce_order_status_changed hook fires. Mark a batch of orders as paid after matching them against the morning bank statement, in one pass, with order-status emails firing as if a human had clicked through.

Direct bank transfer is unfashionable in card-heavy markets but mainstream in Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and parts of Asia where BACS-style local rails are cheaper for both merchant and customer. The catch is reconciliation: every paid order has to be matched against a bank-statement line by reference and amount, and the default WooCommerce admin treats this as a per-order operation. Orders sit in wc_orders with payment_method=bacs, status on-hold, with the reference buried in wc_orders_meta and the age of the order calculable only by squinting at the date column.

Finance teams running daily reconciliation end up opening each order to grab the reference, or exporting CSVs and joining them in spreadsheets. Stale unpaid orders linger because nobody has a clean "over X days" queue. SleekView turns the same database into a reconciliation workspace: filter by payment_method, surface the reference, compute age, bulk-complete matched orders.

Same hooks, same emails, same audit trail, dramatically less clicking.
