Create a manual order
Create an order manually from your NoCode.shop dashboard: phone sales, in-person deals, or migrating from another platform.
When to create a manual order
Manual orders come in handy in a few situations:
- Phone sales — customer orders over a call and you create it for them
- In-person sales — at an event, trade show, or face-to-face meeting
- Migration — importing customers from another platform and recreating their orders
- Free access — giving someone complimentary access to a product or service
How to create one
To create a manual order:
- Go to Orders from the main menu
- Click New order top right
- Pick an existing customer or create a new one
- Choose the product from your list
- Review and confirm
The order lands with Pending status. The customer gets an email with a payment link to finalize.
What happens next
A manual order works exactly like a regular one once payment is made. The customer gets the payment link by email and completes online.
If they don’t finalize, resend the link from the order detail via Actions → Send pending order link.
For subscriptions, renewals and billing kick in automatically after the first payment.
FAQ
Does the customer still need to pay online?
Yes. They get a payment link by email to finalize. Payment goes through Stripe or GoCardless, which saves the payment method for future renewals.
Can I create an order without emailing the customer?
No. The customer automatically gets an email with the payment link when you create the order. It’s needed to register the payment securely.
