Yves Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi, Imagine you want to use your prestashop system to generate invoices of other products or services you want to offer. Products that doesn’t exist in the catalogue. I was wondering if it is possible to create an order in the backoffice with a custom description, price and tax rate. In that case you can use the system to generate invoices to simplify the accountancy without the need to manually create the product which can be a service as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonas Invertus Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 With out of box PrestaShop you can't create orders with products that are not in PrestaShop, maybe there is a module that does that. However you can create products in BO and make them invisible to your buyers, this way you can still add them to your offers, but buyers will not be able to buy them.

zoombamboom Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I am also wondering about this. There are instances when the customer need to be charged for a particular service or product that's a one off. So adding a new product just for that is an overkill and might make the product list full of unnecessary items. Also because our invoices are based on the prestashop numbering system we currently create a dummy order in PS that we mark as cancelled. Then we create an invoice manually using the number generated by PS. An option to actually just skip a number by the invoice generator would be nice (instead of creating an order). Ideally it would be good if PS could just allow to add a one off product where we enter the description and price manually. In the same way that we do it in Stripe or other payment platform. I thought about creating a 0.01 worth product. Then select the quantity according to the price. But the problem of getting the description in the invoice remains. Any ideas or tricks would be welcome here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoombamboom Posted October 4, 2024 Share Posted October 4, 2024 Yves, I found a workaround to this problem. Using version 8 of PS I am working this way. * Create a new product. Call it "Offline product" or something like that. * Make sure you keep it "offline" so it does not appear in the front end shop. * Then go to the "Options" tab. ** Here tick on "Available for order". ** Under "Customisation" do "Add a customization field". As label set "Product name" or similar. Choose type "Text". Then you can add this product and type the name of the product in the customisation field. Set a price of 1.00 or 0.01. This way you can control the price with the quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
