Behind the Scenes: Admin Options in Name Your Price for WooCommerce
The “Name Your Price: Make an Offer for WooCommerce” plugin injects a fun element of negotiation into your store. But how do you manage all those customer offers? The plugin’s admin options provide a centralized location to keep track of everything!
Accessing the Offer Management Hub
- Product meta box (Enabled by Default): This option ensures that an “Offers” meta box appears on each product’s edit page within your WooCommerce admin panel. This serves as your gateway to managing customer offers for that specific product.
What’s Inside the Offers Meta Box?
- Meta box title (Predefined): The title “Offer” is pre-defined within the plugin and cannot be changed.
