Best For

This functionality is useful for store administrators who need to create orders for customers who have completed offline transactions, received special pricing arrangements, or require manual order entry for other business reasons. It streamlines the process of recording sales that occur outside the standard online checkout workflow, allowing administrators to maintain accurate records within the Easy Digital Downloads system without requiring customers to process payments through the website.
