Hi,
Still looking to solve a few problems when handling orders.
I have a client that’s looking at selling a bundle of products. I’ve got a bundle app that’s working quite nicely.
I’m now looking at how I handle the order and fulfilment.
When the order is placed, one of the products in that bundle needs to be sent straight away. The others need to be scheduled to go out later.
I know that I can fulfil one item and mark the rest as on hold, but Ideally I need to be able to set a date on when the next item should be fulfilled. (similar to how subscription apps do it.)
I can’t seem to find anyway within the admin to set this though?
Maybe you could add it as a tag? Then you could filter orders by tag for the date and quickly get a collection of orders.
Example tag Ships 2023-10-04.
Yes, at the moment that’s the best I’ve got.
would be great to use actual fulfilment statuses properly though.
Like a subscription, the order would then move to unfulfilled when that next date is reached.
Problem with a tag is that it very much replies on manually checking all the on hold orders every day and I can see scenarios where they might get missed.
I see, ya that’s a tough one. I think you would need to create a custom fulfillment service or custom app if you wanted to be able to interact with the fulfillment order statuses. Not 100% sure but just a guess.
I don’t think there’s a way to do what you’re asking exactly, from within the order details page.
