8. Add And Manage Students

Customers can manage their students from the WooCommerce My Account area.

To add a student:

1. Log in to the customer account.
2. Go to My Account > Students.
3. Enter the student information.
4. Click Add Student.

Each student profile contains:

• Student name
• School
• Grade
• Allergies
• Notes

Student name, school, and grade are required. Allergies and notes are optional.

Customers can return to My Account > Students to edit or delete a student.

Administrators can also manage students:

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Users.
2. Open the customer’s profile.
3. Locate School Meal Students.
4. Add, edit, or remove students.
5. Save the user profile.

During checkout, the student selector displays only the student’s name. However, the plugin also saves the selected student’s school, grade, allergies, and notes with the order item.

Changes made to a student profile do not modify previous orders. Each order retains the information saved when the customer completed checkout.
