EnglishEvery order goes through a number of steps in ShopLinkr, from the moment it comes in to the moment the parcel goes out the door. Below we explain each step.
The steps
Step 1: The order is synced
As soon as a customer places an order in your webshop or on a marketplace, it is automatically synced to ShopLinkr. The order is given the status Syncing.
Step 2: The order is open
After a successful sync, the order is validated. If everything checks out, the order is given the status Open and is ready to be processed. Not enough stock? Then the order is automatically given the status Backorder.
Step 3: Picking
When you create a pick list and add the order to it, the status changes to Picking. This means the products are being collected from the warehouse. Once all products have been picked, the status changes to Picked.
Step 4: Packing and shipping
After picking, the products are packed at a packing station. Here the shipping label is generated and, if set up, automatically printed via AutoPrint. The order is given the status Processing.
Step 5: Completed
As soon as the parcel has been shipped, the order is marked as Completed. The stock is permanently deducted and the order is finished.

Special situations
Postponing an order
With the postpone function you temporarily park an order so that it no longer sits among your open orders. That way, your overview of open orders only contains the orders you need to process right away.
When postponing, you can optionally enter a reason and a date. If you enter a date, the order automatically returns to the status Open at that moment and you can process it the regular way. If you do not enter a date, the order stays postponed until you resume it manually.
Marking as high priority
You can mark urgent orders as high priority. These orders get a visual indicator so it is immediately clear that they take precedence. In addition, they are added to a pick list first, so they are processed with priority.
Canceling an order
If an order no longer needs to be shipped, you can cancel it. The reserved stock is then released again.
