Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Shop as Client for WooCommerce - Manual, Phone & Email Orders

Add this to your (child) theme functions.php file, or use the PRO add-on.

Administrators and Shop managers can use “Shop as client” on the checkout. Add this to your (child) theme functions.php file if you want to allow other user roles to use this functionality.

No. Yes. It’s complicated... The logged-in user is the Administrator or Shop Manager. It’s not possible to integrate with the vast amount of user or user role-based discount plugins when the logged-in user is not the customer himself, so any customer roled-based discounts will not be applied. However, our PRO add-on integrates with the User Switching plugin and sets the Administrator or Shop Manager who switched to the customer account as the order handler upon checkout, thus allowing them to benefit from the fact that the customer is logged in and still use our plugin functionalities, like the payment request gateway and seller tracking.

Yes, from version 2.1 onwards.

Yes, on the Free version from version 3.5 onwards and on the PRO add-on from version 3.6 onwards. Known limitations: Only core WooCommerce fields are saved to the customer user, and not custom or 3rd party fields, if the shop_as_client_update_customer_data filter is set to true; No warning about the lack of information on the “Order Received” / “Thank You” page on WooCommerce 7.8.1 and above; PRO add-on: The shop_as_client_pro_customer_data filter does not work; Report to us if you find more limitations, using the support forum;

Sure. Go to GlotPress and help us out.
