is it possible to change the whole order status system so that when a customer buys the order first get set on pending, then when a staff aproved it it goes to in progress and if not approved it refunds the money and deletes the order?
Thanks
I search online but didn´t found what i needed.
It already exists, you may choose not to fulfill automatically an order when it's placed. For that, go to settings page, then checkout tabs and check what's on the image:
Not fulfilled = pending.

I am very new to E-Commerce World.
I have a use case scenario that I want to Implement in Oracle NetSuite.
But I am not sure how to move forward with it.
Use-Case Scenario:
A Sales Order has a few Line Items & Among them, a few are out of stock.
The 3PL currently I am dealing with accepts only one Unique Sales Order ID as an Identifier.
I want to fulfill the items that are currently in stock and Later on, when the Inventory gets updated I want to fulfill the remaining Items back-ordered in the Sales Order.
But the fulfillment should happen only after the customer has paid for the Items.
Can anyone let me know? How can I achieve this?
Thank you.
You will probably need some customisation to achieve this. I don't know the full set of processes you're working with, but as a general approach, I would suggest the following:
Set up a payment term that says the customer must prepay.
Set up a script to run on your fulfilments, handle "prepay" customers.
You'll also want to check your settings in Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences > Order Management. Look for the option on sales orders and fulfilment. You'll probably want to default your fulfilment to available quantity only. You may want to prevent overage on your fulfilments.
When the script executes on your fulfilment, it should execute "before load". The script will need to check the sales order it's fulfilling. If the term is "prepay", the script should then check if a payment has been made against the sales order. You'll potentially need to consider deposits and paid invoices. If the script finds no payments, then it should block the fulfilment.
I'm working on the assumption that you will create a fulfilment with a "Picked" status to send to your warehouse. When they confirm the "goods-out", you will want some sort of feedback loop from your 3PL to set the fulfilment to "Shipped" and update your tracking numbers.
I hope this helps.

ISSUE:
First time after adding the product to the cart and confirm purchase, we can see the order pending, in the LIST ORDER.
immediately on doing the above process for the second time and confirming the purchase, New order is replacing the previous pending order in the ORDER LIST.
On doing the above again, we see only the last generated order as pending and the previous ones are vanished.
Only if we provide a 90 seconds gap between two purchases, we see both the records in the order list as pending.
Kindly advice.
VirtueMart has a feature to delete "pending" orders. To disable this, follow the below steps.
Open - administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg
Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add the following line at the very end -
reuseorders=0
I am new to MSSQL and creating a website where Customers can place orders.
Each order may have multiple items with any number of quantity.
I am interested in before saving my order to check if the desired quantity is available for each item, if yes then I will place the order and update the items inventory, otherwise I want to rollback.
But at the same time I want that any other order should wait till first transaction is finished. So that up updates don't overwrite the changes and produce inconsistency.
If each order is processed within a transaction, is it enough or do I have to consider something else too?
If you go on any Online retail website, you will notice that you go through the shop, buying stuff (not actually buying but being added to a basket) and once you have completed your shopping you go to Checkout that is, where you are asked to provide payment details etc.
So the idea is, the website shows everything (that has at least 1 stock item) to every customer, At this point no item inventory is being updated or inserted, at the checkout stage a complete order is compiled and submitted to system, (at this stage you will do the actual updates/inserts to item stock inventory) now how you want to handle the orders is entirely up to you.
Do you want to rollback entire order when any one item has less stock than
the quantity ordered?
Do you want to commit all order lines and only rollback those order lines where the items has less stock than quantity ordered?
Or do you want to place a provisional
order regardless of the stock availability and manipulate the delivery date?
Depending on what path you chose to go with (this should be a business decision a developer shouldn't be making these decisions) there is a lot of flexibility, but one thing you never do is as soon as someone has select to buy an item, you update the inventory. All this should be done right in the end of the Purchase process and all should be done at Once.
My primary business is pre-orders, and this is how it works:
I list an item for sale.
My customers order the item. Their credit card is authorized but not charged.
Once a minimum number of orders are placed, the customers are charged, and the buy is live.
If, after a specified amount of time, the minimum is not reached, all orders are cancelled.
What i would like to do is this:
Specify the minimum number of orders needed for a particular item in the backend. (not 100% needed, but it would be nice).
Display the total number of pre-orders on the product page, so that my customers know how many are left before the buy is live (it would be great to show it in the following format: 23/50 Ordered).
Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, can you please explain to me what I need to do in order to make this happen?
Thanks!
P.S. - In case it doesn't show up, I'm using Bigcommerce
Store the minimum needed as a custom field & set the initial inventory to that same number. You'll also need to allow inventory to be displayed for pre-orders, though you can hide it from display if you'd like (we only want it present in the DOM).
As the products are pre-ordered, inventory will decrement. Use javascript to subtract the number left in inventory from the original number (the custom field) and display in the ProductDetails.html panel.
I am building a .net service to getOrders from ebay. my service runs fine, however I dont know how should I handle data.
For example I am using CreateTimeTo and CreateTimeFrom Filter to return orders from past 24 hours. I save them into my database, now some orders return no Address info.
My question is, Whats the best way to hadnle/update already imported orders into my database. Say for example order imported into my system wa without shiping info, and customer completed shipping info after a week, how would I update that order in my system?
Thanks
I would definitely use modtimefrom modtimeto filter. Ih this way you can get all order that have been modiefied in last "x interval". This way you will get either new orders and modified (checkout complete - paid - shipped) and so on. My favourite filter anyway is NumberOfDays. This one acts as ModTimeFrom/ModTimeTo but is way more simple and you don't have to deal with dates.
An order without address means buyer has not completed checkout (no payment selected so no shipping address as well yet).
Once buyer completes checkout or order is mark as paid the entire address will be avaible.
You can get buyer default address shipping by using call GetSellerTransaction
I hope i understood your question and to be helpful.
