Mod to take offline custom orders and request payment?

[JE2009]

I looked everywhere, I can't believe there isn't a mod to take offline orders?

My customer will sell some custom made-to-order products, they want to be able to create manual orders at the backend admin and request or process payments.

Any ideas?

You dont need a mod for this to happen. Just create an extra account for offline orders and check them out. I have a account Mr. Offline Orders that can have a special a group discount. All offline orders are tracked with this account. The only problem is that the product must be in the catalog in order to track all orders.

It seems cumbersome to have all offline customers under one account, how do you track who order what?

I'm open to the idea if you could tell me how the whole process works!

Login as customer contribution

Or

Use the master password contribution and create an account for customers who want to purchase offline.

Thanks Clyde!

The loginascustomer mod will work for now....still can't figure out how to handle custom non-stock orders though. Only solution I see is to add the custom product to the store with quantity=1 and tell your customer or login as customer to order it. Then disable the product in the admin. Oh well, long way, but I can live with that for now.

Or create a product worth $1.00 and let the customer enter the price in the quantity field, and pay for it.
