Admin Cart

The Admin Cart lets store staff create orders manually on behalf of customers — useful for:

• Phone or in-person orders
• Wholesale or B2B order entry
• Correcting or re-creating a failed order
• Testing the checkout flow without a customer account

Navigate to yStore → Shopping Cart in the CP sidebar.

Feature availability

Admin Cart requires Sales → Admin Orders to be enabled in settings. Go to yStore → Settings → Sales → Orders and enable the Admin Orders toggle.

Creating an order

1. Go to yStore → Shopping Cart.
2. Search for or select a customer (or proceed as guest).
3. Add products using the product search — type a product name or SKU.
4. Adjust quantities as needed.
5. Apply a coupon code or gift card if applicable.
6. Select a shipping method from the available options.
7. Select a payment method.
8. Review the order summary and totals.
9. Click Place Order.

After placing

• The order is created with the selected status (configurable — defaults to "Pending").
• If the customer has an account, the order appears in their order history.
• Standard order emails are sent unless disabled.

Offline payment

For phone/manual orders, use an Offline payment method so no payment gateway is involved. Create one in yStore → Payment → Methods with type "Offline".

Editing an admin order

After placing, the order is treated like any other order. You can:

• Edit items, addresses, shipping, and payment method
• Change status
• Add an admin note
• Generate and download the invoice PDF

See Orders → General for the full edit workflow.
