Order Management
This page covers common WooCommerce order management actions used by Scottsdale Mint Dealers staff.
Add Items to an Existing Order
Use this workflow when a customer needs products added to an order that already exists.
- Open the order in WP Admin → WooCommerce → Orders.
- In the order editor, click Add item(s).
- Click Add product(s).
- In the product search field, type the product name.
- Select the correct product from the dropdown search results.
- Set quantity as needed.
- Click Add to attach the product line item to the order.
- Verify the new line item appears in the order items table.
- Click Update on the order.
After update, WooCommerce should recalculate totals automatically because new items were added.
Verify Recalculation Worked
After clicking Update, confirm these values were recalculated and saved:
- Line item subtotal(s)
- Order subtotal
- Taxes (if applicable)
- Grand total
For Scottsdale Mint dealer orders, verify product-level pricing metadata also exists on the newly added item:
- Premium
- Spot Price
If Premium and/or Spot Price are missing on the new line item, the add-item operation did not complete correctly for dealer pricing data.
Troubleshooting Missing Premium or Spot Price
If the order updates but Premium/Spot Price are not present:
- Remove the newly added line item.
- Repeat the add flow: Add item(s) → Add product(s).
- Re-select the product from the dropdown (do not leave it as free text).
- Click Add, then Update again.
- Recheck Premium and Spot Price values on the line item.
If values are still missing after retry:
- Confirm the selected product has dealer pricing configured.
- Confirm the order is in a dealer context/account where pricing metadata is expected.
- Escalate to development if metadata is consistently missing on properly configured products.
