OrdersWhen a customer places an order in your shop, the following occurs:

  • The customer sees a confirmation that the order was placed, and will optionally be redirected to the payment provider for prepayment.

  • The customer receives a confirmation e-mail with the products ordered and optionally a link to the payment page, in case the customer aborted payment.

  • You as the merchant get an email notification that an order is placed. Any additional administrators can also receive an email.

  • If configured, you will receive an instant notification on your smartphone or smartwatch.

  • The order is inserted in the database, and can be viewed in your account at Management > Orders

  • The order is added to the Logs of your shop.

  • If configured, the order is sent using an API PUSH to an external Point Of Sale or an accounting application.

Navigate to Management > Orders to get a summary of all orders. The latest orders are shown on top. If there are no orders, you can create a test order in your own shop. This will give you an idea of ​​how customers have to order and you can optimize the ordering process.
