Data books: types of orders, delivery and payment

This article describes how to add and configure order types, delivery types and payment types and statuses.

Order types

Order can be divided by types, for example:

These order types are important for orders distribution to managers, in case if one manager works only with legal entities and another one works only with private individuals.

There is list of existing test types of orders at the order types tab.

For adding new order type, click the button For editing the order type, click any place at the line.

There are only two fields in the editing form of order type: name, symbolic code.

Activity tick means the availability of this order type for the rest settings.

«By default in system» tick means automatically setting of order type value for orders created in system.

«By default in API» tick means automatically setting of order type value for orders created through API in case the order type is not specified.

Order types are used everywhere in system, either in order searching or in order editing, limits of time spent in statuses for each order type.

Order channels

We concluded that it is better to separate order types and order channels. It gives the opportunity to see more clearly how the order was created. You can add or edit order channels in secton Administration-Data books, «Order channel» tab.

Some examples:

To add new order channel click For editing the order channel, click any place at the line.

Pay attention on the following parameters in editing form:

You may see on screenshot that «by default in API» parameter is set for created order channel «Shopping cart». So we can understand that order was made exactly from online-store, by shopping cart and standard order creating procedure.

Separation of orders by order channels is also important for directors from the point of view of analytics.

For example, if 80% of all returns are the orders with «Legal entity» type, it is the signal for director that there are some problems with processing of order for legal entities, perhaps not enough fields or insufficiently service.

Delivery types

It is not the secret that deliveries differ on the region, on delivery services, on delivery types, on delivery urgency etc. There are special cases when delivery cost depends on weight and dimensions of delivery.

Delivery types are often as follows:

Delivery within Russia is often divided by regions, where the order will be delivered to or where the warehouses are situated, delivery cost can be specified by this matter.

Not every delivery can be available at certain time period. For this purpose it is possible to change Activity parameter for each delivery. And you may use filter by activity on the delivery list page.

Delivery adding/editing

You may add new delivery using «Add» button.

The new page with fields to be filled will be opened (mandatory fields are marked by *):

There is a possibility to specify countries available for this delivery.

On the order page the deliveries are filtered automatically depending on selected country.

Note: There are only those deliveries in the list of integrated deliveries, which are available for the listed countries in system settings.

Cost - you may specify the cost of new delivery (in rubles automatically, if there is no other currency in settings by default).

In "VAT rate" field you can select VAT for current delivery type from drop-down list.

Delivery cost must be specified only by number, without currency. This cost will be set when selecting this delivery type on the order page, after that it may be changed.

Binding to payment type allows to avoid mismatch errors of delivery and payment type. For example, if the order will be delivered to Novosibirsk by post, there must not be possibility to select «cash to courier» payment type.

Payment type - you should specify payment type preferable for the customer.

Important: if "Cash on delivery" tick is applied to several delivery types, you can use only one of them in the order.

Setting of delivery cost conditions

There is a possibility to configure delivery condition for certain country or region.

For this purpose you should go to Administration > Data books > Delivery types, to settings of needed delivery type. Choose necessary delivery type. Then go to «Cost» tab.

«Copy conditions» button allows to copy conditions from another delivery type.

In «Calculation type» field you may select «Dynamic».

After that you will see two fields: «Depends on region, weight and order amount» and «Depends on time and day of the week»

After activation, there will be additional settings, where you can configure cost depending on region, weight, order amount, time, and day of week.

Let`s see more details on each setting.

Region, weight and order amount

"Restrict delivery type by specified conditions" setting means that this delivery type is unavailable for choising, if region, weight or order sum don`t match the data speicified in delivery type settings.

On "Region" tab you select one or several regions, which the specified values on the second tab will be applied for.

There is a search above the columns with regions and cities.

In «Weight» column you should point the range of weight, which the specified settings will be applied for (should be pointed in grams).

In «Order amount» column you can specify the range of order amount, which the specified settings will be applied for.

Note: in case, if any part of range is not specified, «⩽» or «⩾» condition will be applied. For example, if there is 700 specified at the left part and the right part is empty, then all orders with sum more or equal to 700 will match this condition. The same situation with reverse condition: if there is 700 specified at the right part and the left part is empty, then all orders with sum less or equal to 700 will match this condition. This rule is being applied also for weight range.

In «Delivery net cost calculation» column there is specified how it will be calculated. It may be done by fixed or by percentage delivery cost. In drop-down list you should select needed calculation type and specify the sum (in currency).

In «Delivery cost» column you should point total delivery cost.
