Friendly Manual Order Processing for WP E-Commerce

Hi naweedsham,

Thanks very much for the comment and also thanks for the link, too – really appreciate it. Hopefully folks here can find a use for this – tried to make it as easy as possible! Again, thanks.

Your very welcome!

And it certainly looks easy just by looking at the backend admin screenshots.

Great stuff

Thanks WPExplorer! Tried to make it so that the UI felt ‘part’ of WordPress and that it was easy to use. Hopefully some folks can find a use for it for them or their clients – makes an order take literally 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes (no need to wait for payment gateway emails and the like).

Again, thanks for the nice comment.

Hi Drew,

Thanks for the question. This plugin basically creates an order from the back-end of the system. i.e. someone doesn’t have to go through the cart/checkout procedure. (i.e. no payment details to enter). It doesn’t do precisely what you want, but as far as I know, there isn’t a pre-order plugin for WP E -Commerce, so this is probably about as close as there is to it at the moment.

It has to be an administrator that creates the order, NOT a casual visitor to the site, as they have to be logged in to the back end and have privileges to create orders.

When you create the order, an e-mail is generated and the stock (if you have limited amounts) is taken out of the system.

Again, thanks for the question.

Best regards,

Hi Mike,

I’ve responded to you directly via e-mail. Thanks again.

Hi BrettAU,

As far as I understand it, WP E -Commerce doesn’t actually support full-on user tracking at the moment so it is not possible to link orders to users, hence why my plugin doesn’t support it – because the plugin it’s based on doesn’t actually offer that functionality.

It would probably be possible for me to add a rudimentary order tracking system on top of this, but it would require quite a lot of extra development time and the need for this doesn’t seem to be that strong at the moment. So sadly, this feature isn’t part of the development plan for this plugin at the moment.

If you do find something which actually offers this, then please do let me know and I’ll take a look into how they do it and see if I can add this for you.

Best regards

Hi jayquizzel,

Thanks for the question. This plugin isn’t for casual visitors to your site to use, it is for the site admin. So if I understand you correctly, this plugin doesn’t quite tick the right boxes for your needs, I’m afraid. With the update of wp e-commerce coming very soon – which is a major overhaul to the way the plugin works, I will be updating this plugin and hopefully adding some requested features such as for users to be able to track their purchases that are manually created.

However, I don’t really see the value in allowing casual visitors to be able to place a manual order. A plugin for WP E -Commerce requires that the user be able to see the top-level menu item for Products (in the new version) and so they will always need access rights above just a ‘subscriber’ to be able to see it. It would possibly be an option to create a completely standalone plugin which would do what you want – if you’re interested in that then certainly give me an e-mail (through my profile page here on CodeCanyon) – but as a plugin for a plugin (which this item is) there simply isn’t a way for it to work for you if I understand your needs correctly.

Best regards from a snowy and chilly Manchester, England.

Hi Snacktreat,

When WP E -commerce 3.8 final is released, I shall update this plugin. The entire architecture of WP E -commerce has changed from 3.7 to 3.8 so it will almost certainly be a rewrite. I should be also adding features such as tracking orders for logged in users, too.

This plugin has now been updated for WP E -Commerce 3.8. Just thought I’d let you know

Whoops – made a new comment rather than responded to yours…please see comment below

Kaixer, thanks for the question. I’m not sure I understand it though as it seems to be the same question you asked previously?

All manual orders are stored in the exact same way as orders placed through the front end of the website – so they appear in the purchase log. (If that’s what you’re asking?). i.e. anyone with privileges to log into the back end of WordPress and see the Products menu can see the order logs – including the manual orders.

Thanks again

Hi mAqq, firstly, thank you for the purchase. I really appreciate it.

Your suggestions are excellent. I’ll see if I can work out a way to do this via the plugin, however, it would be very difficult to do without making changes to the theme. If other people start requesting something like this then I’ll look into it further, but as I understand it at the moment, it’s not a quick, easy or even possible job.

Again, though, thanks very much.

@iamfriendly

ok. no problem. but the cookies for the backend should not be that hard to make. just for the other buyers. the frontend i will do myself, or you could distribute the plug in with the modified wpsc_products-page.php

Hi manamedia,

The plugin works from the back-end of the site only – i.e. only from the WordPress dashboard and is intended for admins of the site to use, rather that customers.

So, to answer your question: You are correct

Thanks for the message.

Hi Locoblade, not currently, no.

Thanks for the question.

Hi,

Thanks for buying the plugin. It’s not actually “the-plugin” folder you need to copy, it’s the folder INSIDE there. After that you may need to adjust the permissions of the folder so that WordPress can see it.

If you’re unsure on that, try http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

I assume you’ve also installed WPEC beforehand, too? (Sorry if that’s patronising, I just need to check )

Thanks again!

prilhacer,

Thanks for buying it. Envato insists that you package your files up with help documentation and other stuff (including licenses etc.) There’s literally nothing we can do about it.

You can still upload it via the WordPress uploader, there’s nothing stopping you, but as I said, I can’t just provide the zip file as it wouldn’t be approved by the CodeCanyon mods wouldn’t approve it. My hands are tied.

Also… some people aren’t quite so experienced as you seem to be, so they need the help documentation. (Which is why Envato insist on it in the first place).

Hope that clears that up.

Hi DigitalDigg,

This is for WP-E-Commerce.

Thanks!
