Order for Customers is very easy to use. You just have to pick the desired customer in a selectbox in the booking form.
Similarly, with WooCommerce, you just have to make a normal order on the frontend and select the desired customer at checkout.
- Log in as Operator or Administrator
- Tip: not only Operators can order for customers, you just need to grant the order_for_customers capability to the desired user. To do so use an appropriated plugin such as User Role Editor.
With a booking form
- Go on the booking form page
- Here you can choose a customer to order for. Just pick his name in the selectbox. If it is a new customer,
- Select New Customer in this selectbox
- Choose between “Create an account” or “Book without account”
- Fill the user required fields (the user info)
- Click on the “Book” button
With WooCommerce
1. Add the booking to cart
- Add some products to your cart
- Go to cart and click on Proceed to checkout button
- Here you can order for someone else
2. Checkout
Go to the checkout page.
Order for an existing customer:
- Start typing the customer email address, suggestions will apear.
- Pick the desired customer from the suggestions, the fields will be automatically filled in but you can modify them as you wish.
Order for a new customer, or do not assign the order to any customer:
- With the Checkout Block
- Select “New Customer” or “Guest customer” in the “Order for” selectbox
- Fill the fields with the customer info
- With the Classic Checkout (page with the
[woocommerce_checkout]shortcode)- Select “New Customer” in the “Order for” selectbox
- Fill the fields with the customer info
- Check one of these box: “Create an account” or “Order without creating account”
3. Place the order
- Then you can choose your payment gateway and click on the Place order button
- Tip: The “Pay later” gateway was specifically created to let your customer pay later on the website
After the payment, your customer will receive a confirmation email and you will be redirected to a confirmation page.
You also have the possibility to make bookings from the backend.
