Order Management by Vendors in Multivendor for Opencart
Purpletree Software makes it possible for vendor to manage multiple Orders from multiple Customers at once. This guide covers the Multivendor order management system in detail.
As the marketplace owner, you can create as many order statuses as you need for your particular business.
For example, some of the default order statuses in OpenCart are:
- Canceled
- Pending
- Complete
- Denied
- etc.
To make order management easier for you and your sellers, Purpletree allows you to create a separate set of statuses for seller orders.
To make a new order, your customer has to add one of more products to their cart and go through checkout.
Once the checkout is completed, the customer will see the new order in the Order history page in their Accounts.
Each order in the list contains the details about the order as well as the status of the order and each of the seller orders.
With the help of this extension, the vendor can manage the orders, and order records. The most helpful feature of this module is inventory management based on Orders for an e-commerce store with a sales order. It is easy to use and user-friendly guide.
For the order management vendor order status permission has required from admin side. If admin not give permission to vendor for managing order than vendor can not manage orders. Vendor can view Order details, change the order status, edit the ordered items details, print order invoice, print shipping, and even remove the ordered products from there. Vendor can order the entire Quantity of Products at once or partial Quantity of Products.
