Order Identifications

The Order Identifications section displays key information related to Shopify orders. The four main components of this section are:

  1. Shopify Order ID:

    • This is a unique identifier assigned by Shopify to each order. It serves as a reference point for tracking and managing orders within the Shopify platform. Additionally, users can conveniently view the order details directly on Shopify by clicking on the provided link associated with the Shopify order ID.

  2. Shopify Order Name:

    • The order name in Shopify typically refers to a customizable name or title assigned to an order on Shopify for further order identification.

  3. Shopify Order Number:

    • Shopify assigns a distinct numerical identifier to each order. It acts as another unique reference for orders, often used in communication and documentation.

  4. Order Attributes:

    • Shopify retailers can capture additional crucial order details through metafields. Once customer IDs are verified, they are stored as order metafields in Shopify. When HotWax Commerce enters a retailer’s Shopify ecosystem, it becomes the source of truth for all order-related information. HotWax Commerce downloads order details along with customers’ IDs as order attributes and shares this information with the retailer's accounting system. All downloaded order attributes are visible under this section.

    • Users can also add Order Attributes by clicking the Add Order Attribute + button which will open up a new form. Add the attribute name, value and description and click on the Add button to save the order attribute. This function is vital if there are some issue in importing order attributes such as metafield being added after the order has been imported in HotWax Commerce.

Payment Section

In the Payments Section, users can easily view the payment method and total payment value made by customers on the e-commerce platform. This data is then transmitted to the ERP system. Particularly for cash on delivery orders, this information is vital as store associates need to collect payment during fulfillment.

Order Timeline

The timeline illustrates the progression of events from the initial order decision to the completion of the transaction, including the involvement of a broker as an intermediary. Here's a brief description of each term:

  1. Order Date:

    • The date and time when the customer made a purchase.

  2. Entry Date:

    • The date and time when the order information was officially recorded into HotWax Commerce.

  3. First Brokered:

    • The first brokered refers to the initial timestamp when an item is allocated to a specific facility. This timestamp remains unchanged even if the item is subsequently rejected by the facility and redirected elsewhere. It serves as a fixed reference point for tracking the item's movement history within the system.

  4. Completed Date:

    • The date and time when the order was fulfilled, and the goods or services were delivered or made available to the buyer.

For Example:

With the capability to add notes and send personalized emails directly from this interface, users can efficiently communicate important updates or notifications to internal teams or customers. Whether it's informing customers about order changes, cancellations, or backorder notifications, or adding notes for the fulfillment team, this feature simplifies communication processes, minimizing misunderstandings and improving overall order management efficiency.
