## Add Order Window

Orders are created in the Add Order Window which you can access via several locations.

* From the **Orders Tab** of your Navigator Window by choosing <mark style="color:blue;">**More Options > New Order**</mark> or use <mark style="color:blue;">**Shift + Command + N**</mark>.
* From the **Customers Tab** of your Navigator Window by selecting a customer and choosing <mark style="color:blue;">**More Options > Add Order**</mark>.
* From the **Kiosk Mode Login Window** by entering your PIN and **clicking** the New Sale butto&#x6E;**.**&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Tips!**

Exactly how this window behaves when you open it depends on your selections in your [Order Preferences](/setup/preferences.md#orders).
{% endhint %}

### Order Designations

When creating an order you have two options on how to label your orders. These designations help differentiate how your orders are placed so you can compare your sales records.

* Phone - Orders that are placed by customers while talking to you on the phone.
* Point of Sale - Orders that are placed by customers in a physical store location, such as at a register at checkout.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Tips!**

While you won't be able to assign it when building orders, any orders placed on your website will receive the Online Sale designation.
{% endhint %}

### Customer Selection

Once you have an order designation chosen, you can attach customer information to the order. This includes:

* **Searching by name** for an existing customer account.
* Selecting <mark style="color:blue;">**More Options > New Customer**</mark> to create a new account before attaching it to the order.
* Using the **Guest Checkout button** to open a new order and manually enter one time billing information.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Tips!**

Guest Checkout will only store the entered information in that paticular order. Ask the customer if they'd prefer to build an account since you'll be adding asking for billing information anyway.
{% endhint %}

## Order Details Window

Once created, your order opens automatically in the **Order Details Window**. If you are opening an Order with details already added, the Order Detail Window provides detailed information, including added products, payments, and customer details.

To **open orders** in the Order Details Window:

* **Double-click** an order in the Orders tab of the Navigator Window.

### Add Products

After creating an order, you can add products.

1. **Select** the search field and perform one of the following actions:
   * **Enter** a product ID and press Return.
   * **Scan** a barcode.
2. **Select** a pack option and price if applicable.
3. **Enter** a quantity.
4. **Click** the Add button or press Return.
