Using the plugin
↑ Back to topThe Admin Order Modifier for WooCommerce plugin works primary within the Edit Order screen in your WooCommerce dashboard. The main purpose of the plugin is to allow you to optionally view and adjust the prices of order line items using tax inclusive amounts instead of the tax exclusive method which WooCommerce supports by default.
NB: Ensure you have tax line items in your order
When using the Admin Order Modifier for WooCommerce plugin for your orders, please ensure that either you have tax items enabled for your order or that the Enable for zero tax items setting is unticked.
In most cases your existing orders should already have tax line items but if you create a new order from the WooCommerce dashboard you will need to manually add a tax item.
When the plugin is enabled you will see additional columns in the order line item area which will display pricing inclusive of tax.
Editing line items
↑ Back to topClick on the pencil icon to edit line items just as you normally would when editing an order line item. You will now see additional input boxes which will display the calculated inclusive tax pricing. You can then edit this pricing and up Save the line items.
These boxes work on regular product line items, custom fees and shipping line items.
Issuing refunds
↑ Back to topIssuing refunds works in the same way as usual refunds except once again there are editable input boxes where you can either refund a portion of the line item’s cost using a tax inclusive amount or refund a quantity based amount, for example if a client ordered 2 of an item but 1 is refunded.
Product info popups
↑ Back to topNext to each product line item is an info icon that you can click which will display a small popup of information about that specific line item so that you can quickly view additional product info without leaving the edit order screen. The popup has two tabs, Info and Description. The Info tab shows basic price and stock information and the Description tab provides a short summary of the product. Click the X in the top right hand corner to close the popup.
Changing the sort order of order items
↑ Back to topIf the Enable order items sorting function is ticked, you will be able to change the order of the items in the order, which will affect the display order of order items in all areas including the order edit screen, order notifications and the customer order details screen. When you hover over an order item in the edit screen, you will see a drag drop handle appear which you can use to reorder the items.
This function works by creating hidden meta fields for the order items which will not be shown on the frontend or in any notifications:
NB: The admin order edit screen does allow for sorting of items within the screen via the table headers. This does NOT influence the setting of the order items using this plugin.
Show tax item required notice
↑ Back to topBy default a notice shows on the order edit screen explaining that the modifier only works when the order has at least one tax item present. This setting enables or disables this notice.
