If you entered the customer's email address into the details section above and selected that you would like to send a receipt your customer will receive confirmation within a few minutes.

If any errors were made during the checkout process you can adjust these on the order detail page before marking the order as paid and/or shipped, dispatched, collected, etc.
It's good practice to add an internal note as a reminder to yourself and any colleagues that this is a manual order completed on behalf of the customer.
Finally, it's worth noting that you cannot opt customers into your newsletter subscription on their behalf. They must do this themselves in order to comply with GDPR requirements.
