Most farms will break up order fulfillment into two stages: Packing the order and Processing the order. In this context processing an order means making any final adjustments in GrazeCart and sending the packed email notification to the customer. Below is an overview of a common order processing flow:
- Change status to packed.
- Mark who packed the order.
- Update weights.
- Add the number of boxes the order consists of.
- Charge the customer's credit card or mark the order as paid.
- Send the Order Packed notification.
Of course, this is just a suggested processing flow. You might find a different method that works better for your farm.
