Woocommerce add order

[wellgroomeddk]

I have a shop manager role in my woocommerce multisite. From the backend i can as a super admin go into woocommerce > orders and press “add new order” from the backend of the system and add that new order to a user so they don’t have to. This feature is not enabled for shop managers, so they don’t see the button “add new” beside the Orders title on the orders page.

I have tried to add more and more capabilities to the shop manager user in User Role Editor Pro but that button does not show up – even when all capabilities is added to that user. I can only get that button to come when i give super admin priviliges to that user, which is not ideal cause i don’t want my shop managers sneaking around in the backend.

Is there a way to allow shop mangers to add orders from the backend like a super administrator can?

Re-check if all capabilities under ‘WooCommerce->Orders’ were granted to a role.

‘edit_shop_orders’ capability is enough in general to edit existing orders and create new orders.

If you have a turned ON the User Role Editor’s option “Activate “Create” capability for posts/pages/custom post types”, then ‘create_shop_orders’ capability is required. Add it if it does not exist for some reason.

If all mentioned above will not help, it would be a conflict with some plugin. Try to deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce and re-test. If it will help, reactivate plugins one by one to isolate a problem.

It worked to add the class ‘create_shop_orders’ and allow the user to ‘create posts’. First when i added it with the ‘create page’ it gave me an error but it seem to work fine now with only ‘create_shop_orders’ and ‘create posts’.

Thanks!

Hi again Vladimir,

I have the same problem with the coupon page – my shop manager can’t add coupons but can see them, I have tried to disable all plugins but it still dosen’t show – so the problem must be elsewhere. All capabilities for woocommerce is added for the role, so do you have an extra capability that i can add in the user role editor panel?

Hi Jonas,

Grant ‘create_shop_coupons’ capability to this role as the 1st point.

Capabilities required for work with coupons are located at User Role Editor under ‘WooComerce->Coupons’ group.

It works now, but i wonder – why don’t these capabilities show up on my user role capability screen? Is something wrong with my solution or is there simply some capabilities that you have to add manually?

[Vladimir]

It seems a subject for enhancement. You can see ‘create_shop_coupons’ capability under “Custom post types->Coupons”, but you don’t see it under “Custom capabilities->Woocommerce->Coupons”, right? I will update a list of capabilities related to WooCommerce.
