Auto Assign Manager

Auto Assign Manager: This addon Allow admin to assign as a manager in order when they act on behalf of any customer and place an order.

Auto Assign Manager is a CS-Cart add-on that lets a store admin place an order on behalf of a customer and be assigned as the order manager for that order automatically. It is built for situations where a customer runs into difficulty during checkout and asks the store to complete the purchase for them. The admin logs in as the customer from the Customers page, adds products, and completes checkout, with the option to place the order without taking payment at that moment. This is useful for CS-Cart store owners who handle assisted or phone orders and want each such order clearly tied to the admin who processed it.

This addon allows the admin to act as a manager when placing an order on behalf of a customer.

If a customer faces any difficulty while placing an order, they can request the store admin to do it for them. In such cases, this addon helps CS-Cart store admins manage orders easily.

When the admin places an order for a customer, they are automatically assigned as the manager for that order.
