Quick Order Form for WooCommerce

What it does

Quick Order Form for WooCommerce gives wholesale buyers one page where they can find products, type quantities and put the whole order in the cart with one click. The form lists your products with optional SKU and price columns, a live search by product name or SKU, and pagination for large catalogues.

The form only lists products the visitor is allowed to see, so it respects catalogue visibility and visibility rules from other plugins, such as Product Visibility by User Role. Prices are shown exactly as the customer would see them anywhere else, including role and sale prices.

Quick Order Form Pro for WooCommerce removes the typing. Buyers can paste a SKU list or upload a CSV and get a report of every line that could not be added, save their cart as a named list and reorder it later, and order variations straight from the grid.

Where to find it: WooCommerce → Quick Order Form

Requirements

• WordPress 5.6+ and PHP 7.4+ (Free and Pro)
• WooCommerce 4.0+, installed and active (Free and Pro)
• Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the block-based Cart and Checkout

Installation

1. Free: go to Plugins → Add New, search for “Quick Order Form for WooCommerce” by B2B Managers, then install and activate it. You can also upload the zip under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
2. On activation the plugin creates a page called Quick Order that holds the [wmqof_form] shortcode. If that page already exists, it is reused.
3. Pro: Pro is a full replacement for the free plugin and reads the same settings and order form page. When you activate it, Pro deactivates the free plugin for you and shows a notice: “The free version was deactivated automatically — your settings and order page carried over.”
4. Upload the Pro zip under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and activate it.
5. Go to WooCommerce → Quick Order Form, open the License tab, paste the licence key from your order email (it looks like WM-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) and click Activate License.

Publish your order form

1. Activate the plugin. A Quick Order page with the [wmqof_form] shortcode is created for you.
2. Go to WooCommerce → Quick Order Form. Set Products per page, choose the Columns to show and pick what happens After adding to cart. Click Save Settings.
3. Add the Quick Order page to your menu under Appearance → Menus or in the site editor, so buyers can find it.
4. Open the page, type in the search box to filter by name or SKU, enter quantities on the rows you want and click Add all to cart.
5. Pro: with your licence active, the Settings tab shows Pro features on the form. Leave the boxes ticked to show the Order by SKU list box, saved lists and one row per variation.

What the form shows

The form lists published products in alphabetical order, filtered to the ones the visitor can see. Use Previous and Next to page through them. Typing in the search box replaces the rows with products whose name or SKU matches, after a short pause.

Each simple product that is in stock and can be bought has a quantity box. Out-of-stock products show Out of stock. In the free version, variable and other product types show a Choose options button that links to the product page.

In Pro, with variation rows switched on, a variable product shows Options below and one indented row per variation, each with its own SKU, price and quantity box.

Adding to the cart

Add all to cart adds every row with a quantity of 1 or more. Before each product goes in the cart, the form runs the same add-to-cart checks as the product page, so stock, purchasability and per-product quantity rules (such as those from Min Max Order Rules) apply, and any problem shows as a notice on the form. Rules that check the whole cart still flag their problems on the cart page.

If at least one product was added and After adding to cart is set to the cart, the buyer goes to the cart. Otherwise they return to the form with a message such as “3 products added to your cart.” and a View cart → link.

Pro: order by SKU list

The Order by SKU list box sits above the product table. Buyers paste one product per line as SKU then quantity, or upload a CSV file of up to 2 MB, and click Add these to my cart.

The paste box accepts commas, semicolons, tabs or spaces between the SKU and the quantity, and the quantity can come first or last. A line with only a SKU adds one. A first line starting with SKU, Item, Code or Product is treated as a header and skipped. If the same SKU appears twice, the quantities are added together. A variation can be ordered by its own SKU.

The buyer sees how many lines and items were added, and an error notice for each line that was not. Valid lines still go in the cart.

• “no product with that SKU.”
• “that product is not available to you.”
• “out of stock.”
• The reason WooCommerce or another plugin gave, such as a minimum or maximum quantity message, shown next to the SKU. If no reason was given, the line says “could not be added.”
• Lines the parser cannot read, with a reason such as “Quantity must be 1 or more.”

Pro: saved lists

Logged-in buyers see a Saved lists panel on the order form. They fill their cart, type a name such as “Weekly restock” and click Save my current cart. Each buyer can keep up to 25 lists.

Lists are stored on the customer’s account by SKU, so products without a SKU are left out. Add to cart puts the whole list back through the same checks as a pasted list, at today’s prices and stock, and reports anything that could not be added. Delete removes the list.

Troubleshooting

Uninstalling

Deactivating either plugin removes nothing. Deactivating Pro also stops its scheduled licence check.

Deleting the free plugin removes its settings and the stored order form page ID. While Pro or the B2B Managers Suite is installed (active or not), it removes nothing, because they use the same settings. The Quick Order page itself is left in place.

Deleting Pro always removes your licence data and its scheduled licence check. It keeps every customer’s saved lists while the suite is installed, and the settings and page ID while the free plugin or the suite is installed. With neither installed, it removes them all.
