<p>The <strong>Clone Orders</strong> extension adds functionality for duplicating orders to streamline the process of adding similar orders quickly.</p>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<p>Having the power to duplicate orders lets you to build efficient processes and handle customer requests more quickly. This includes scenarios such as:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Handling exchanges for customers:</strong> Refund the returned items on the original order, clone to a new empty order, and add the exchanged item. You can then follow your usual order fulfillment process with the new order and your reporting will still be accurate.</li>
<li><strong>Manually inserting the same (or a similar) order for multiple customers:</strong> Create it once, then clone as many times as needed, just updating the customer details as required.</li>
<li><strong>Receiving repeat purchase orders from existing customers: </strong>Duplicate their last order and update as required to speed up an otherwise slow and tedious process.</li>
</ul>

<p>Gives you a simple way to control backorders across your WooCommerce catalog without touching product data in the database.</p>
<p>Choose a global backorder policy for your store, apply it to the entire catalog or only selected product categories, and fine-tune how backordered items appear on the storefront. You can also let individual products opt out when you need an exception.</p>
<p>Built for stores that want more control and less clutter, this plugin helps you keep your backorder policy consistent, visible, and easy to manage.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>WHAT DOES IT HELP YOU DO</h2>
<p>• Set backorder behavior globally in one place<br />
• Apply rules to the whole catalog or selected categories<br />
• Choose how backorders behave: Allow, Allow but notify, or Disable<br />
• Keep important products visible even when WooCommerce hides out-of-stock items<br />
• Let specific products ignore the global rule<br />
• Restrict settings access by user role<br />
• Adjust filter priority when you need to win conflicts with other inventory plugins</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>WHY MERCHANTS USE IT</h2>
<p>Instead of editing products one by one, you can manage backorder behavior at the store level and keep your product catalog easier to maintain. That means fewer manual changes, a cleaner admin experience, and more consistent storefront behavior.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>BUILT FOR A NATIVE WOOCOMMERCE WORKFLOW</h2>
<p>• Settings are managed inside <em>WooCommerce > Settings</em><br />
• Product-level opt-out is available on the product edit screen<br />
• Overrides run at runtime, so your admin product data stays native and editable</p>

Backorder Manager: Global and Category Rules
