For the bulk order form, is there a way to change the number of products on a page, so there is no "next page" option?
Is there a way to convert a quote to an order without customer involvement? We are integrated with Finale Inventory and would like the order to go over without payment (as pending) so we can allocate/reserve it, which doesn't work with just quotes as far as I can tell.
Is there a way for an admin to add shipping to a quote/offer?
In Offer Details the product name shows up like "product_23689" instead of "Forest Buffer Area Sign". Is there a way to change that? It looks correct on the PDF.
This will show 1000 products per page (approximately, it is not an exact number, it's a pre-processing number so final results will vary slightly).
Please note that performance may decrease with more products as it needs to load and process more items.
2. Regarding quote conversion - there's no direct one-click option to convert quotes to orders without customer involvement. However, if you need customers to place orders without immediate payment, you can use our invoice payment gateway: https://woocommerce-b2b-plugin.com/docs/invoice-payment-gateway/
You can rename this to something like "Order and Pay Later" or "Place Pending Reservation Order". Currently, customers either need to add the quote to cart and checkout, or you'd need to create the order manually.
3. For the product name display issue in Offer Details, you can go to B2BKing → Settings → Offers and enable "Show product selector in offers", which will add a products dropdown instead of that 'product_1234' area.
Just keep in mind this might affect backend performance if you have many products.
4. Yes, you can add shipping to quotes/offers in two ways: - Either directly enter text like "Shipping Cost" instead of 'product_1234' - Or if you enable the dropdown mentioned above, you can select "shipping costs" from the dropdown as shown here: https://prnt.sc/-cbxvAE9bC9V
This is great, and thank you for the quick reply. I've only now been able to get back to this.
My client really likes the bulk order form. You search result count code works as expected. If we were to use a smaller number, is there a way to do pagination?
An issue I'm having with the bulk form is the guest view is showing products that are out of stock. The B2B user view is fine and only shows in-stock items. I can't figure out the setting or combo of settings to hide out-of-stock items for guests.
One last thing...we're thinking about adding a text box for each product, but will probably just handle it in the cart interface. I'm curious if you have any thoughts around adding an open text field to the bulk form. It seems like the Add A Price Column section from the documentation (https://woocommerce-b2b-plugin.com/docs/wholesale-bulk-order-form/#13-toc-title) might be a starting point if I wanted to try that?
1. You can enter any result count number you wish. It will have pagination but only in the sense that it shows Next Page and Previous page - it doesn't show numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 if that's what you mean - there's a technical limitation there because it takes too long to calculate that.
2. On showing out of stock items, this seems odd because normally this form hides out of stock items. Would help to understand more about your setup - do you have prices hidden for logged out users? I can check directly as well if you wish to share a temporary site login with us.
3. Yes, adding a custom text field that way via the Add A Price Column text could be a good option, but there is a bit of a challenge with actually passing that to the add to cart and saving it to the item. Is that for a product add-ons / product customization option?

Hi Dave,
Thanks for purchasing our plugin!
1. Yes, you can change the number of products shown per page in the bulk order form. Add this code to your functions.php or a code snippets plugin:
add_filter('b2bking_search_results_number_order_form_cream', function($val){ return 1000; }, 10, 1);This will show 1000 products per page (approximately, it is not an exact number, it's a pre-processing number so final results will vary slightly).
Please note that performance may decrease with more products as it needs to load and process more items.
