Manage Orders in frontend

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to be able to manage WooCommerce Orders on the front-end of the site using Forms.

Solution: WooCommerce Orders are not well integrated with Forms, since they include lots of complex data types and features.

Not really, because WooCommerce's Order post type includes lots of custom field information that isn't well integrated in Types and Forms. You may be able to do some very basic Order manipulation, like Order status, using custom PHP code and the Forms API and Forms Commerce API, but it will require a significant knowledge of WooCommerce's API and PHP:

I can show you how to use any of the Forms APIs or Forms Commerce APIs, but most of the Order manipulation code will be outside the scope of support we provide here in the forums.
