Orders

Definition of an Order

Orders contain information about buyers’ shopping lists submitted for purchase and the collected information about billing and shipping addresses, payment methods, etc.

You can view orders and create new orders on behalf of the buyers.

While many customers will use your sales channels to create orders, they can also come through other sources such as phone calls, emails or contact requests. Marello makes it easy to manually create orders for customers. When creating an order, you can create new customers or select existing customer on the fly, add products, configure shipping options, and more.

Order Workflow

After receiving or creating an order, a workflow will be activated. The workflow is predefined by the user in the system configuration. Orders are processed based on workflows. Multiple workflows can be created and attached to orders, where each order has one unique workflow. By default, Marello is installed with a B2C workflow (Order B2C Workflow #1).

The workflow linked to the order ensures that the entire order is handled in line with the different steps and goals of the process. 

Going through the Order workflow can be done manually by clicking the workflow buttons in the top right corner of the order view page. Alternatively, the workflow can be automated when triggers are integrated.
