How to Update Orders Easily with Magento 2 Edit Order?

A key part of running an online store or any other business is order managementwhich refers to the processes that take place once an order has been placed. One may think that once an order is made, it must be completed, but that’s the case. In several instances, the store owner needs to perform additional actions before the order can be delivered to the customer.

For example, the customer made a mistake when entering their address. Instead of writing street 60, they entered street 06. Once the customer completes the checkout process, they have no option to make any edits. The only thing they can do is contact the store to edit the information. This is where the Magento 2’s edit order function comes into play.

However, the problem with Magento’s in-built edit order function is that the admin must first cancel the original order and then create a new one with the modified information. In other words, ‘edit order’ is not editing at all, but basically creating a new order. Naturally, this process is time-consuming and outright frustrating. There is where we introduce FME Extensions’ Magento 2 Edit Order Extension.

Magento 2 Edit Order – Notable Features

Edit Any Detail

Using this extension, the admin can edit any detail of the customer’s order. This includes the order date, shipping address, billing address, or even the items ordered.

Replace Invoices

After editing the order, you can replace the previous invoice with a new one.

Update Stock

Once products are removed from an order, they are automatically added to the stock. It ensures an accurate representation of a product’s stock.

Recalculate Shipping Charges

In most cases, the shipping charges are based on the order weight. Once an order is edited, the weight may go up or down. This extension automatically calculates the new shipping charges after editing the order.
