Is there a way when creating a new order in the admin panel to be able to send the cart link in much the same way as if it were an abandoned cart so that the customer can proceed to checkout with it from that point.
Yes I see but no client account in this case. it's just this particular order has special pricing that will be difficult to replicate via the front end but I suppose if I spend some time creating particular discount codes I can probably get to the same end result.
