Quick Order Pad lets trade customers order the way they already do: by product code. They can type codes, paste a list from Excel or an email, or upload their order sheet, and every line is checked before anything goes into the basket. It works on every Orbit plan.

In this tutorial we’ll install it and put a quick order page on your store.

#Steps in short

1. Install Quick Order Pad from the Orbit plugin store.
2. Open Quick Order in your dashboard and wait for Up to date.
3. Add the Quick Order Pad block and pick the order pad.
4. Publish the page and add it to your main menu.

#1. Install it from the Orbit plugin store

Find Quick Order Pad in the Orbit plugin store and install it. You get a 14-day free trial, then it’s £19.99 a month (or £199.99 a year). It only asks to read your products, categories, stock and tax setting — it never changes your catalogue.

#2. Let it index your product codes

Open Quick Order in your dashboard’s side menu. The first time, it makes its own copy of your product codes so it can look them up instantly. This usually takes under a minute; the Overview tab shows Up to date when it’s done.

#3. Add the pad to a page

1. Create a page for it — Storefront → Pages → Create page; most stores call it “Quick order” — and open it in the page builder.
2. Add the Quick Order Pad block to the page.
3. In the block’s settings, under Order pad, pick Quick order pad (codes, paste, upload) — or one of your category order forms.

#4. Publish it and link to it

Press Save, then Publish. Then add it to your main menu: Storefront → Navigation, open your header menu (usually Main Menu), press Add menu item, pick the page under Link and press Save.
