I have a question is about magento. i am making a webstore and getting 1 difficulty. i have created an attribute called SalesRep. for example if i register from the frontend. i will be in customer section at backend. their at backend admin will be able to select me as a sales rep or customer.
if admin select me as salesRep i will become sales rep. Now i want to shop from frontend on behalf of any customer. i should have facility for search customer name from the frontend. at frontend i should be able to shop using customer details. so i logged in and can select any customer who want to shop. and i will shop for this customer.
I hope i explain in full details if you looking for more information please let me know.
Is there any help. Thanks in Advance
Magento doesn't provide such functionality. Try this free plugin. With it installed you will be able to find a customer in backend, click a "login as a customer" button on customer view page and directly login as a customer in your frontend. Then you can do whatever you need on behalf of the customer, including shopping. However this plugin won't allow customers to pre-select admins who may login on their behalf, i.e. any admin would be able to login as any cusomer.
P.S.: I am not connected to the plugin developer in any other way than I am a happy user of this plugin :)

We are trying to figure out if its possible to have the following logic on magento CE.
Admin adds products to Magento, but they are to be marked as admin viewable on the front-end only, which means customers will NOT be able to see those SPECIFIC products on the frontend.
Note: customers will still be able to view all the rest of the products on the site, except admin viewable products.
Some products by customization can be made available for some certain customer groups.
So using logic related to this you can achieve your goal.
I am looking for a platform to accomplish one goal. I want customers to be able to build a cart with products and then share the cart id so my client (i.e. the business owner) can build the order in the store. They wouldn't be able to check out online, but we will be able to build their order for quick pickup. Any ideas about which platform is the best option?
Using Magento you can do that.
Magento have wishlist functionality and a customer can share his/her wishlist to friends.
Using the same idea , a separate extension will be create to add the products and share it with the site owner immediately via email.
I am working on a sticker development site in magento. The customer will choose any of the templates from the listed template, which is the produc. After customer choose a sticker template customer will add the design suggestion as a file or comments in the order. After checkout(without doing payment) admin will work on the design and upload for customer approval. The customer will do the payment only after he has approve the design upload by admin.
So in magento i need to do the payment only after the customer approve the design we are not doint the payment at the time of checkout. Is there any option like this in magento. I am using magento 1.9.
you can use the "preorder" function in Magento and set the product avaible for customer after the customer approval. The preorder part is a magento feature. You need to work on the avaible per customer product function.
Let me know if it was usefull.

I have just added another website to my Magento eCommerce site and I would like my existing customer bass to be able to login to the new website with the same username and password that they have registered with for the original site. I also need any customer who signs up in the future to be assigned to both websites.
When I go to edit a user there is a drop-down box to say which website they are associated with, but the field is disabled and doesn't look like a multi select drop-down. Which would suggest to me that Magento isn't set up to share details between websites.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
In the admin, under System > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration > Account Sharing Options, you'll be able to choose between sharing accounts per website or globally.
Does anyone know of an extension that will link a Magento admin account with a specific customer account?
Here's the scenario I'm trying to figure out:
Store owner has 5 Sales Reps.
Wants Sales Reps to be able to log into the admin panel as admin users.
But also wants Sales Reps to have their own customer account so they can buy products from the store.
I've searched through Magento connect and cannot find anything that does this. Anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks.
First of all, its possible to create orders through the backend. Go to Sales > Ordere and click "Create Order" in the top left.
Second of all, if you create customer usernames and passwords that are the same as on the Admin section, you could try to call Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->login($username, $password); when an admin logs in. Haven't tried it though, but thats what happens in the loginPostAction of Mage_Customer_AccountController link.
