How Shop as Client for WooCommerce – Manual, Phone & Email Orders works
Show full descriptionShow less
Create manual orders in WooCommerce directly from the frontend checkout. Ideal for phone orders, email orders, POS or in-store purchases, sales representatives, and customer service teams placing orders on behalf of customers.
Manual, phone & email orders made easy
Do you take orders by phone, email, in-store, or through sales representatives visiting customers?
Do your staff need to place orders on behalf of customers?
Shop as Client for WooCommerce allows store administrators and shop managers to create manual orders directly from the frontend checkout, using the exact same purchasing experience customers use.
Perfect for:
Manual order creation
Phone orders
Email orders
In-store or POS purchases
Customer service assisted orders
B2B sales teams
Sales representatives creating orders for clients
Instead of using the limited WooCommerce admin order screen, your staff can simply shop normally and assign the order to the correct customer.
Why create manual orders from the frontend?
WooCommerce’s backend order editor does not always reproduce the real customer shopping experience.
With Shop as Client, your staff members can:
Add products to the cart normally
Use coupons and discounts
Apply shipping and payment methods
Trigger checkout integrations
Use plugins that only work on the frontend
This ensures orders behave exactly like customer-placed orders.
How it works
When an Administrator or Shop Manager reaches checkout:
All customer checkout fields become available, including custom fields
Staff can enter the customer’s email and details
The order is automatically assigned to an existing customer if matched by email address
Or a new customer account can be created
Or the order can remain as a guest order
The result is a clean, correct WooCommerce order created on behalf of the customer.
Free plugin features

PRO add-on features
The PRO add-on expands staff ordering workflows with powerful tools:
Live customer search with autocomplete results while typing
“Request payment by email” payment gateway to finalize orders and send payment links to customers
“Invoice or Purchase Order” payment gateway for orders to be invoiced later or already paid via PO — optional PO number field, and a “Payment already received” checkbox that automatically marks the order as paid when ticked
Search registered customers by email address, name, company, billing and shipping addresses, or any other profile field
Optionally search on previous orders to find customers faster or previous guest orders
Allow staff to adjust product prices for special deals or negotiated orders (compatible with WooPayments multi-currency)
Show the product’s Cost of Goods Sold (WooCommerce 9.5+) when adjusting its price, so staff can see the margin before granting a discount
Set guardrails on price changes: disallow free products, enforce a minimum markup above cost, or set a floor on the allowed discount
Advanced features for developers and power users
Developer filter to add custom fields to the automatically filled checkout details
User Switching integration, to benefit from the fact that the customer is logged in, and still use our plugin functionalities, like the payment request gateway and seller tracking
Start the order with a blank checkout form
Set default values for the “Shop as client” and “Create user” fields
Automatically update the customer details on their profile after checking out
