The Problem
- ✖ Magento prevents admins from placing orders for out-of-stock products, limiting flexibility for backorders and special requests
- ✖ Support teams may lose sales when customers need urgent orders for temporarily unavailable products
- ✖ Managing pre-orders or manual backorders often requires workarounds that disrupt inventory workflows
- ✖ Default Magento does not offer an admin-only way to bypass stock checks while keeping storefront availability accurate
The Solution
- ✔ Allow admins to create orders for out-of-stock products directly from Magento Admin
- ✔ Support backorders, pre-orders, and special order scenarios without changing storefront stock behavior
- ✔ Maintain inventory integrity while enabling admin-only stock bypass controls
- ✔ Improve order flexibility and capture revenue that might otherwise be lost due to temporary stock shortages
