Order of order statuses - straight to Preparation and payment after

[Steve Shepherd]

Hey all, thanks for taking the time to help out in advance

 

We're setting up effectively a butchers shop and its all working fine except the final checkout is out of order for what we want to do and I can't seem to find an easy solution.

 

Basically the problem revolves around the fact we don't know EXACTLY what we'll dispatch until we actually do in terms of weights. (ie. Someone orders 3lb of salmon but it actually weights 3.27lb on dispatch)

But the system defaults to awaiting payment before preparation. We need to reverse those statuses... so the client orders, we get notified, prep the shipment, edit the order and then solicit payment to go then to dispatch....

ORDER -> PREPARATION -> PAYMENT -> PAYMENT ACCEPTED -> etc.....

We could work with a crude solution of simply jumping directly to Preparation but can't seem to find how to default that. Also the system doesn't allow us the EDIT orders which aren't in PREPARATION.

 

Any help would be appreciated, seems like something that should be able to be edited in terms of workflow but I know enough about PHP to be able to edit once I know where I'm looking.

 

 

Cheers again

Steve

Look in ./classes/PaymentModule.php
You can create an override and modify the default state of the order.

And for the total price write "approximate price (not final and will be adjusted according to the actual quantity)" .....
