Create a new order

Buyers can place orders directly through the BLANC platform, but as a seller, you can also create orders on their behalf. This is useful for managing orders that come in through other channels or for assisting buyers who may not be familiar with the platform.

1. Open your admin

Go to your admin on the platform.

2. Create a draft order

Click on “Draft orders” on the left-hand menu under the Sales section. Then click “Create a new cart” in the upper-right corner of the page.

3. Select the buyer

You can select the buyer to whom you want to send the order from the list by clicking “Choose” next to their name.

4. Choose a price list

Select a price list from the dropdown menu options, such as EXW (USD), and then click “Create”. Your cart has been created now, and a number will be generated.

5. Add a product

Click “Add Product” in the “Products” box in the main content area, below the “Buyer Info” box. A modal window will appear with the list of products. You can use the search bar to find the product you want. Then, select it by clicking the “add” button on the right.

6. Select a quantity

Once you select the product, choose the quantity you want from each size and colour. You can do that by clicking on the up or down arrows in the box on the right or by typing the number manually. Once you do that, click the “Submit” button in the lower left corner. The modal window will close, and you will return to your cart.

7. Submit to the buyer

Now, you can submit the order to the selected buyer. Just click the “Submit to buyer” button in the upper-right corner. Another modal window will pop up, and you will be able to write a message in the text box before clicking “Submit” in the lower-left corner. The buyer will receive an email with an editable Excel file to set quantities.

8. Place the order

Finally, all you have to do is click on the “Place order” button at the bottom centre of the screen.
