Shop as Client for WooCommerce – Manual, Phone & vs Tailor Page Builder

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.
