+Draft Orders are used when an Administrator would like to manually create an order via the Admin UI. For example, this can be useful when:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- A customer phones up to place an order
|
|
|
+- A customer wants to place an order in person
|
|
|
+- You want to create an order on behalf of a customer, e.g. for a quote.
|
|
|
+- When testing Promotions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To create a Draft Order, click the **"Create draft order"** button from the Order List view.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+From there you can:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Add ProductVariants to the Order using the search input marked "Add item to order"
|
|
|
+- Optionally activate coupon codes to trigger Promotions
|
|
|
+- Set the customer, shipping and billing addresses
|
|
|
+- Select the shipping method
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once ready, click the **"Complete draft"** button to convert this Order from a Draft into a regular Order. At this stage the order can be paid for, and you can manually record the payment details.

|
|
+{{% alert "primary" %}}
|
|
|
+Note: Draft Orders do not appear in a Customer's order history in the storefront (Shop API) while still
|
|
|
+in the "Draft" state.
