Quick orders
The Quick Order feature reduces the order process to several clicks for customers who know the product name or SKU of the products they want to order. Orders with multiple SKUs can be entered manually, or imported into the Quick Order form. Quick order can be used by customers who are logged in to their accounts, and by guests. When enabled, the Quick Order link appears at the top of the page, next to the customer name.
