User Switching for WooCommerce

The User Switching for WooCommerce plugin allows you as an admin or a store manager to quickly switch between user accounts and act as the customer in your store.

• Switch user roles – act as the customer in your store.
• Front-end based – simple and easy to use.
• Secure – users can only switch to other users with the same or lower capabilities.

With the front-end based user switching tool you are able to add a product to cart and create an order for your customer. This can be very useful if you offer phone orders and invoice the customer manually via a separate invoicing system.

Security

• Only users with the ability to edit other users can switch between accounts.
• Users can only switch to other users with the same or lower capabilities.
• Uses the WordPress cookie authentication system when switching between accounts.
• Uses the WordPress nonce security system which means that only users that intends to switch user accounts can execute the user switching functions in the plugin.
