Is there a way to tell if an order was placed through the frontend of the web site or entered through the administrative panel?

By default, Magento only stores the remote_ip in table sales_flat_order for an order that is place by customer (while admin order is set to null).

So try this:

if(!empty($order->getRemoteIp()){
  //place online
}
else{
  // place by admin
}

Every order has a store_id, when entered through administraction it will either be 0 (for 'admin' store) or null.

if ($order->getStoreId()) {
    // was placed via frontend
}

Don't use getStore() as that won't always return the admin store object reliably.

Does not work with latest versions of Magento. (see comment)

    clockworkgeek's answer is correct. I'll add one other way, that is mostly helpful to administrative users that aren't programmers. If you are looking at the order in the administration screen (Admin -> sales -> Orders) it will have a "Placed from IP" field if the order was created from the frontend, but if it was done through the admin backend screens it will not be there. – shaune Jan 05 '11 at 00:42
  • @sdek - That's a nice tip, I wasn't aware of it before. – clockworkgeek Jan 05 '11 at 01:06

    Does not work with latest versions of Magento. You have to choose store id before create order within admin backend. So store_id will always have a value different from 0. – Yaroslav Rogoza Aug 08 '13 at 09:14
  • Yaroslav Rogoza is right! It will return the store id for which the order is placed, even from admin panel – Shathish Dec 24 '13 at 08:37
  • So can someone answer this question? – fortegente Jun 03 '14 at 14:10

You can check the is_super_mode value (I have only check on the quote : $quote->getIsSuperMode())
