Manual order creation for phone, B2B, and offline lanes
Marketplaces capture endless automation-friendly buyers, but reps still close POs over Slack and CX still replaces shipments manually. ChannelDock’s seller-entered orders keep SKUs, packaging preferences, and carrier intent inside the same order workflow as marketplace imports.
Pairs with
- Shipping rules so manual lanes inherit automation defaults.
- Batches when manually-created waves merge into warehouse shifts.
- Order holds while finance validates bespoke contracts.
