Create orders

Manually create orders in Dashboard.

Merchants can manually create orders in Dashboard and choose whether to collect payment at the time of order or not. If you collect payment, the order will follow the standard Zonos Checkout process, where Zonos acts as the payment processor and sends you a payout.

For orders that do not collect payment, Zonos will invoice you any Zonos fees related to the order.

Note: Manual orders created in Dashboard will not import into your ecommerce platform.
