If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might need to manually order products from time to time. Maybe you’re just getting started and need to populate your store with products, or maybe you’re adding products that aren’t available for purchase yet. Whatever the reason, here’s how to do it.
In your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Orders. Then, click the Add Order button. You’ll be taken to a new page where you can fill out the order details.
Start by entering the customer information. If the customer already exists in your WooCommerce store, you can search for them by their email address. Otherwise, you can add a new customer by clicking the Add New button.
Once you’ve added the customer information, it’s time to add products to the order. To do this, click the Add Products button. A popup window will appear where you can search for products and add them to the order.
When you’ve added all of the products you want to include in the order, click the Update button in the bottom right corner of the popup window. This will add the products to the order and take you back to the main order screen.
On this screen, you’ll see a section for Order Notes. Here, you can add any notes about the order that might be helpful for yourself or your team. For example, if this is a pre-order for a product that isn’t available yet, you could note that here.
Once you’ve added any necessary notes, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Place Order button. This will finalize the order and take you to the orders list page.
