Announcing Draft Orders

We’re excited to release the Draft Order plugin for Medusa, empowering your store with flexible order management right from Medusa Admin. Built on Medusa’s extensible architecture, this plugin lets store admins create, edit, manage, and finalize orders through a purpose-built UI, while giving a new primitive for developers to craft custom commerce experiences around.

Whether it’s streamlining complex sales or unlocking new workflows, the Draft Order plugin brings efficiency and personalization to the forefront.

Simplify complex sales and custom orders

The Draft Order plugin is designed to tackle intricate sales with ease, adapting to unique customer needs in real time. For B2B sales, for example, the Draft Order plugin gives sales reps the control to negotiate across more parameters with support for custom pricing, line items, and shipping methods.

The Draft Order plugin can also be used to give white glove service to your most valuable customers by letting your customer relations team craft bespoke orders. Or even enable workflows for sharing quotes for bespoke products.

Once approved, Draft Orders can move to fulfillment directly or a payment link can be sent to the customer for a smooth checkout. This reduces manual work, boosts accuracy, and delivers tailored service without breaking a sweat.

Unlock advanced workflows with order edits

The Draft Order plugin is built on top of Medusa's Order Edit API, which is a generic API to manage orders while ensuring robust accounting, and traceability standards. The Draft Order plugin thereby expands Medusa with a new primitive that developers can use to build advanced workflows fast.

Imagine setting up automated approvals for draft orders based on a customer’s loyalty tier, or crafting a promotion engine that applies dynamic discounts to bulk deals. With Medusa's focus on developer productivity ideas like these can become reality in hours instead of weeks, empowering you to adapt Draft Orders to any business model with minimal effort.

Available Now on Medusa Cloud

The Draft Order plugin is ready today for Medusa Cloud users, with an open-source release planned later this year to explore Medusa Cloud and start building custom commerce solutions faster.
