WooCommerce Shop As Customer 1.1.4

WooCommerce Shop As Customer is a WooCommerce plugin that lets administrators and shop managers place orders and manage invoices while acting as another user. Instead of manually recreating a customer journey, you can switch to a specific account and use that user’s permissions to shop and generate orders. This streamlines store management tasks like order verification, invoice review, and customer support workflows. It’s also useful for design and checkout testing in a controlled way, so you can reproduce real customer experiences without assumptions. The plugin fits naturally into WordPress and WooCommerce setups where role-based access matters.
