Can an order be created manually in Vareons?
Last verified: 2026-09-18
The orders area in Vareons is not limited to storefront orders, since the merchant can create an order manually from the dashboard for cases such as phone, chat, and direct sales. On creation the order receives a distinct number and its source is marked as the dashboard, then it appears in the list with other orders under the same status cycle from pending through delivery or cancellation. This unification keeps reports and inventory reflecting all sales regardless of the sales channel.
Steps for creating a manual order
- Open the orders area in the dashboard and choose to create a new order.
- Select the customer or enter their basic details, then add the requested products and quantities.
- Review totals, payment method, and the initial order status before confirming.
- Confirm creation so the order receives its number and appears in the list marked as a dashboard source.
- Follow the order afterwards from the same board through updates, status changes, printing, and export.
Record the customer contact details accurately during manual creation so updates reach them and purchase records accumulate in their profile. It also helps to check stock for the requested items before confirming to avoid creating an order against unavailable quantities.
