All orders placed online by your Customers to your branch will be visible on the Orders tab.
With the exception of delivered and cancelled orders, all orders are grouped according to status within this tab, which are shown at the top portion of the screen:
-
Pending- all new, unprocessed orders
-
In Process- orders that are ongoing preparation
-
For Dispatch- orders that are ready to be delivered or are currently being delivered to the customer
Other order statuses include:
-
Delivered- order is received by the customer. Once this is selected, an order is considered completed. No further changes can be made from this point.
-
Cancelled- order is cancelled by the merchant or the customer (if enabled).
Delivered and Cancelled orders can be viewed from the Order History, accessible from the More tab.
The upper portion of the screen also shows the number of new orders, which are all listed under the Pending status tab by default. The new orders can also be seen on the Notifications tab.
