Is it possible to add a order manually? For example when somebody orders something by telephone? is that possible?
No, this is not part of Super Orders. But this is how I handle this situation:
-
A customer calls in on the phone. If they are a new customer, I create an account for them online through the "Add Customers" mod that I installed. This mod creates account and a secret password (even admin does not know what it is) is generated and emailed to the customer for their future reference.
-
I then login to this new account. But since I do not know their password, I use the master password that I setup using the Master Password mod.
-
Now that I am in their account, I enter the order as they give me the info over the phone. So basically, I am now acting as their underpaid secretary, i.e. typing in the info on their behalf.
That's it. It may sound complicated and slow, but once your telephone people get used to it, it is very quick and easy.
A few customers do not have an email address (or mostly they just don't want to reveal it to us...Spam paranoia!), so we have a standard rule that we create a fake email address for them (using their full name @ ourwebsiteurl.com). It allows us to enter the order in the system, but of course, since it is a fake address, the customer never receives any notification emails. Sometimes customers call in later and ask us to enter their correct email address for them so that they can access their account themselves in the future.
Hope that helps...I am trying to balance out my good karma account from all the help I have received from the experts in this forum. :smile:
