I mentioned "I am NOT talking about logging in as the customer and placing the order on the frontend!" ...

I asked this and mentioned that on purpose, as I know you can do it but it won't fit my use case.

We would need some products in our marketplace with "on demand" prices. That is, a user can contact a vendor and negotiate the price of a product. Once they agree on a price, the vendor could create the order with the agreed price, on behalf of the customer, then the customer could view his order and proceed with the payment.

These "on demand" products would not display a price on the front-end (just a button that allows to contact the vendor). They also could not be added to the shopping cart directly by the customer. Hence my question: can a vendor create an order on behalf of a customer.

All that has been developed already but now I am stuck because I was sure this was feasible. Now I see very few options available for achieving what I want...
