Call-Off Orders allows your customers to purchase bulk products in advance and then draw down these products as they need them. This enables your customers the advantage of purchasing in bulk without the hassle of managing or storing that inventory.

Below you will learn how to setup call-off products for your customers. 

Setup for Call Off Orders

Set a Default Line Reference for Call Off lines

You can set the default message for the line reference of call off items add to the cart. This is great for marking those lines for your customer and to see it as a note in the API. To setup a default message go to Admin → Store Settings → Store Preferences and save a message such as "Shipped from Call-off inventory.". The value is also available in the API for the line but a customer can change the value in the cart before checkout.

Add products to the Account: Navigate to Admin => Accounts and choose your customers. 

Now you can Test on the Storefront:
