Create a Special Order

  • Special orders can be created during a sale.
  • Once an item has been added to a sale, find and select the "Special order" box. Products that are not currently available in store will have this box selected by default.

Items must be marked as special order before the sale is completed. 

  • If you'd like to add a comment about the special order, click "Add comment" next to Special order, input your comment (500 character max), and click "Add". 

  • Comments can be viewed and edited within a sale, and appear in the Special Orders list once the order is complete.

View Special Orders

  • To view a list of all special orders, navigate in Admin to Inventory > Special orders.
