admin order entry

[offnetrob]

I am wondering if there is an administration order entry contribution? I looked through the contribution database but did not see anything. Am I over-looking it?

Haven't seen one. You could create dummy accounts for the customer to run the order through the front end. Get the master password mod, so you can use the same password over again with the dummy accounts.

Great idea....Thank you!!

Another possibility: create accounts on behalf of your clients, then use master password to log in to them. That way, when they're ready for self-service (i.e. using the cart themselves), they'll be all set and will have their order history right there.

If you don't have an email for them, just use <theirname>@<yoursite.com> as a placeholder.

Good luck,
Scott

rereading this thread, I think what I wrote was what barco57 was suggesting in the first place. For some reason when I first read it I thought he was suggesting a single dummy account.

Re-reading my own post I realize I wasn't very clear here.
Should read-

You could create dummy accounts for you to run the customers order through the front-end yourself.
