Ok this is good that you do not have hundreds of orders missing. That would require a scripted solution.

Go to WooCommerce>Orders. There is a button at the top to add new orders manually.

Or go to
https://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=shop_order

If you do not have sequential order numbers or some other way to control the order number to the one you need you will need to create the order and then you can change the order number meta manually in phpMyAdmin. Do this part carefully or ask for help. If you are not familiar with using the raw MySql tables just be careful.

If you need help with that get me your email address.

I am using W3TC and have no issues at all. Wish I could help.

I know this can be done. I just forgot how I did it.

There is a Role based plugin that allows this kind of thing I think.

You could also rename one of the existing payment options to Cash in Gallery if you need that option.

How many orders are missing? You may want to just do these manually in the backend.

The other option is to use the Rest API to create the orders for you if you have a way to parse the order data into the API somehow from the emails.

You should be able to specify the order numbers unless new orders have taken their place.

I have been using the sold out product plugin. I have been waiting for somehting nice like the Jigoshop Product Badges plugin. Looks like Woo Sold Out Badge plugin is much nicer.

Thanks for the link.

No can do. Sent a request into Woo a week a go and no word back. I got a halfway response back from SkyVerge when I sent a question to them directly as I know they had a big hand in the API core.

Woo support is not really good. you would think they would have some really good answers on how to use this API they rave about having.

Find a good server. Where will most of the customers be located? WooComemrce can handle it if the server resources are there.

I can get the API authentication to work with the keys as a query string in a browser for getting data. I cannot get any POST or PUT functions to actually work with a URL in a browser or with cURL commands.

URL will not update the data and cURL always fails authentication.

The API will work. I hope it works for you. In my experience with the iOS app using the API it can sometimes be slow. to find any updates. As in hours to show new orders that are present in the wordpress backend but the app takes a while to update. Most of the time it is really fast. I am curious how this works once you have it tested. Let me know. The API has a slight bit more security built in.

For me I needed a nice user friendly front end for all the data on iPads so we went with FileMaker and it has been great. We developed everything before the API was created. We create new products or make any changes and publish directly from the iPads using FileMaker.

This is something that WPMU does not do so far as I know. I have a similar situation in which I use FileMaker with ODBC/JDBC as the glue between the sites. You could also do this with FileMaker and the WP API as it is slightly more secure. However, the ODBC connection can be set up fairly securely and it is pretty fast. I have nearly 4000 products on three sites and no issues for me.

This essentially takes takes all of your MySQL tables and links them together. As pricing or quantity or other data changes in the master database the update is sent to all of the others. You could connect to any popular database and syncronize data easily. I have seem some people connect inventory between WP, Magento, and eBay. It is a little work mixing the platforms but handling only WP installs is easy enough if you understand database basics.

This can be done with a bunch of PHP or other database in the similar way. FileMaker can offer you a great way to put a nice admin front end on all the data which is nice and you can manage many things using iPads as well. There is also support for managing images. It has special hosting requirements. Take a look and see if it works for you.

I have experience with this and can help with the setup if you need it.
