View Processed Orders Help

This page allows you to display a list of processed orders (including any that were cancelled/shipped). Please select the type of orders that you want to view as well as a range of order dates to include.

Once you have all the selection fields completed, click the VIEW ORDERS button to display the order selection list.

TYPE OF ORDER
This field tells the store which type of processed orders you wish to view (processed, cancelled, and/or shipped). Please see the discussion below regarding the various order status codes.

ORDER DATE FROM
When viewing processed orders, the store uses this field to select which orders to display. Only orders taken on or after this date will be displayed.

ORDER DATE TO
When viewing processed orders, the store uses this field to select which orders to display. Only orders taken on or before this date will be displayed.

ORDER STATUS
Each order has a "status" associated with it. As an order moves through your store, its "status code" indicates what "state" the order is currently in. Orders start out as "pending", proceed to "new", then become "processed", and finally "shipped". The order's current status is shown at top of the View Order page.

Below are the various status codes that may appear for a given order.

Pending - the customer is almost done with their checkout from your store. The store is currently waiting for the customer to enter their credit card data and finalize (submit) their order. When they do, the status will change from "Pending" to "New".

If a customer decides NOT to finish their order, the order status will remain as "pending" and you will need to ultimately cancel or delete the order. NOTE: it's recommended that you wait at least 24 hours before you cancel or delete a "pending" order. This will allow the customer sufficient time to complete their order.

IMPORTANT: when using real-time credit card processing, it's possible for an order to remain in PENDING status even though the customer completed their credit card information. This will happen when the customer FAILS to click the final button/link on the real-time credit card processor's web site. At this point, the customer's credit card was charged but since they FAILED to click the final button/link, they were never returned back to your store. When this happens, the store does not receive final notice from the credit card processing company's web site that the order was completed OK. Therefore, the store still thinks the order is still PENDING.

New - the customer has completed their checkout from your store. All the required information to process the order has been collected from the customer. This order is ready for processing by the store manager.

Processed - this status indicates that the store manager has "processed" (completed) the "new" order. Normally, this status is assigned by the store manager after they have verified the order, and processed the credit card transaction or collected payment from the customer.

Cancelled - when a "new" or "pending" order is invalid or incomplete, this status can be assigned to indicate this order was "cancelled" (never completed). This status is used to keep valid (complete) orders separate from the cancelled or bad orders.

Shipped - this optional status can be used to determine which "processed" orders have been delivered or shipped to the customer, and it's normally assigned after an order has been processed by the store manager.
