Name: WooCommerce order by phone
SKU: 166
Availability: InStock

The WooCommerce Order By Phone plugin enhances WooCommerce by allowing customers to place orders directly from product pages using just their phone number. It adds a simple form with a phone input field and an “Order Now” button to the product summary section, available only for purchasable, in-stock products. Upon submission, the plugin uses AJAX to create an order, either linking it to an existing user (identified by phone number) or creating a new customer account with a generated username (PHONE_ prefix) and a dummy email. Orders are set to “Processing” status, stock levels are reduced, and a new order email is triggered. The plugin tracks order attribution (e.g., direct, organic, referral) based on the referrer or UTM parameters, storing details like source type, referrer, and device type as order meta. It includes a loading spinner, error handling, and nonce verification for security. Compatible with WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), it provides a seamless, user-friendly experience for quick purchases.

Usage of WooCommerce order by phone

Place an order: On a product page, customers enter their phone number in the provided form and click “Order Now.” The form appears only for purchasable, in-stock products.
Order processing: The plugin validates the phone number (minimum 9 digits) and product availability, then creates an order via AJAX. A loading spinner displays during processing, followed by a success or error message.
User handling: If the phone number matches an existing user (via meta or PHONE_ username), the order links to that user. Otherwise, a new customer account is created with a dummy email and the phone number stored as meta.
Order attribution: The plugin captures the order’s source (e.g., direct, Google organic, referral) based on the referrer or cookies, saving details like referrer URL, UTM source, and device type (default: Mobile) as order meta.
Stock and notifications: Stock levels reduce automatically, and a new order email is sent to admins using WooCommerce’s email system.
Customize styling: Adjust the form’s appearance by targeting #phone-order-form, #phone-order-loader, or #phone-order-message in your theme’s CSS.
