1. Overview
Actually, when searching for products online, your customers do not always end the deal after browsing around your corner and pay you within a minute. It’s frequently that they will contact you and make the purchase outside the commerce website. This real-life case pushes us to build a solution that helps the store admin assign a custom payment method that fit the desire of both the seller and customer. This admin payment method will not appear on the frontend checkout page and only shows up on the backend create new order page.
This extension will work the same way as other payment methods. In detail, when admin creates order in the backend, down to the step of choosing the payment method, there the admin payment method is, with other payment methods. Also, this extension allows automatic creating invoices and shipments.
