Phone/Mail Order

VPCART 8.00 includesthe new “Phone/Mail Order” feature that will allow a suitably authorized administrator to quickly enter phone/mail orders into the system. 

 

This will be useful for phone/mail orders allowing an administrator to reduce the time taken to enter lengthy orders since they do not have to search for each product through the front end.

With the Quick Admin Order Form:

1. You are able to login as order administrator to perform the quick order function.
2. You are able to search / add customer to quick order (only 1 customer allowed).

3. You are able to search / add products to quick order (no gift products are allowed).

4. You are able to make order through Phone/Mail OrderSystem.

To activate this feature,  go to : Modules>Modules Manager>phoneorder>Edit.

Set Enable? to Yes.

To start using the Phone/Mail Order system, you can access the form using the menu below:
Modules> Phone / Mail Order System




The Phone/Mail Order systemhas its own separate header and footer compared to the normal cart that identifies the checkout process as a phone/mail order.

The following Software Configuration options allow you to setup templates used in your Phone/Mail Order system:

XquickorderproductdisplaytemplateInvent

When an order administrator logs into the page, they will first be presented with a range of options:
- Search/Add Products
- Search/Add Customers
