Handling orders

You manage all aspects of the orders placed on your site in the Orders area of the Commerce menu. Whenever an order is placed, it appears in the Orders panel as soon as the payment has been successfully processed. The Orders panel is shown in the following screenshot:

The Orders panel defaults to show All Orders. You can use the drop-down menu to filter the list, as follows:

  • Pending: Orders for physical products or services appear here, ready for you to action or ship.

  • Completed: Orders for physical products or services appear here once you have marked them as complete. Digital download orders appear here instantly.

  • The order number

  • The date and time the order was placed

  • The customer name and email address

  • The total amount paid, payment status, and fulfillment status

If the order is a test order, it will display a Test Order label...
