Easy Digital Downloads Manual Purchases is an official extension designed for stores that use Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) as their e-commerce platform on WordPress. Its main purpose is to allow administrators to record purchases manually from the dashboard, thus covering all those sales that occur outside the store's automated payment flow.
This tool is especially valuable for digital businesses that manage sales via bank transfer, internal agreements, phone orders, in-person events, or any other transaction that does not go through the standard checkout. Without this extension, those sales would be left out of revenue reports and customer history, resulting in an incomplete view of the business's actual performance.
With Manual Purchases, the administrator can create complete orders from the WordPress backend, selecting the downloadable products the customer has purchased, assigning the order to an existing customer or creating a new one, and configuring the order status as appropriate. It also allows applying price adjustments, such as additional fees or store credits, as well as linking the transaction to a specific payment gateway among those available in the store.
By keeping all transactions recorded within the Easy Digital Downloads ecosystem, store owners get accurate financial reports, a unified customer history, and much more efficient administrative management. This extension is the ideal solution for those who combine automatic sales with directly managed orders and need every sale to be properly reflected in their statistics.
