Zones Management

 

Description

This screen enables you to manage all your order status. In HikaShop, orders are categorized through different statuses, or to put it another way, different states depending on the current step of the order. This enables you to easily manage all of them from the same interface.

Before going further, let's detail the classic course for an order.

Ex : .

Step 1 : Your user has a cart and enters the checkout => the order reaches the "created status"

Step 2 : Your user has paid and the payment platform notification is received => the order reaches the "confirmed status"

Other potential steps :

  • You use a payment method that allow pending payment, and so the payment platform notification will leads HikaShop to mute the status to "pending"
  • Or your customer for a reason or another, have abandon the payment during the process, as previously the status switch to "cancelled"

Last but not least, HikaShop allows you to create new order status to better fit your order managing needs.
