Order Combining

I just had a customer who wanted to combine an order, but the system wanted her to meet the $5.00 store minimum for the addition. Is there a way we can turn that off?

  • Change you Minimum for a few minutes until the order comes in then change it back. Its the easiest.

  • It would be nice to allow the minimum to be bypassed automatically. Either always or with a setting.

    I had a tiny order sneak in while I was using the above suggestion last week.
  • I can probably do that for combined orders, ill add it to the list.
  • This should now be working. For orders with combined shipping, the minimum order check is not applied to the second order or any subsequent orders. If they choose not to combine, they are told they must meet the minimum order.
  • Hi Lawrence,

    On the combined shipping, if an order used "request quote" for shipping, does that force the second order to use request a quote?

    Thanks,

  • No, they could then pick a different shipping method and pay the difference
  • Suggestion for order combining... Can we have the rows of two combined orders color shaded in the orders outstanding list? That would help create the visual reminder that two orders need to be consolidated for packing.
  • @DadsAFOL this is a great suggestion. With a long list of orders and then then customer ads to their order, it would be very helpful for some sort of identification method on the orders screen to let us know it needs to be consolidated.
  • How about an icon on the right hand side?

    I normally only look at the right side when i give feedback. Is it possible to place the icon next to the order number? This is what we click to view the order and since the icon would mean to combine orders, it would be a good fit there.

    EDIT: unless you meant the right side of the order number, than yes, perfect spot to me
  • It needs to be something blatantly visible for our employees, so a color highlight would be better. The little tiny notes icon isn't obvious enough. You could do the buyer name in red or something. Its okay if this applies only to the add-on order, not necessarily both the original and add-on order rows, but that would be nice.
  • The issue with row highlighting is you get that bold...bolder...boldest issue. If you use row highlighting for more than one issue, it just becomes annoying. We have that issue in our own order system.
  • I see the "+" icon. What do you think about making it red? Or moving that icon next to the order number instead of on the far right?
  • +1
    or make the actual order number red?
  • I have a few on the same page, a different colour for each customer? Seems overly complicated to me.

    There are already bold blue links in the order details section that connect the combined shipping orders.

    Remind employees to always look there?

  • Well, now that I have an outstanding combined order, I'd say that the + icon works pretty well. Certainly caught my eye much more than I was expecting!
