Order handling

When a customer orders on your e-commerce, there are three record types required to be handle in Odoo:

Đơn bán hàng

Order and payment status

The first step when a customer adds a product to his cart is the creation of a quotation. Orders can be managed either from the Website or Sales app. E-commerce orders can automatically be assigned to a specific sales team by going to Website ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. In the Shop - Checkout Process section, select a Sales Team or Salesperson to handle e-commerce orders.

Assignment of online orders to a sales team or salesperson

Orders can be found under Website ‣ eCommerce ‣ Orders/Unpaid Orders. Each order goes through a different status:

  • Quotation: a new product is added to the cart, but the customer has not gone through the checkout process yet;

  • Quotation sent: the customer has gone through the checkout process and confirmed the order, but the payment is not yet confirmed;

  • Order: the customer has gone through the checkout process, confirmed the order, and the payment is received.

Statuses of e-commerce orders

Giỏ hàng bỏ dở

Giỏ hàng bỏ dở là đơn hàng mà khách hàng chưa hoàn tất quy trình xác nhận thanh toán. Đối với những đơn hàng này, có thể tự động gửi nhắc nhở qua email cho khách hàng. Để bật tính năng đó, đi đến Trang web ‣ Cấu hình ‣ Cài đặt và trong phần Email & marketing, hãy bật Tự động gửi email thanh toán bỏ dở. Sau khi bật, bạn có thể cài đặt khoảng thời gian mà sau đó email được gửi đi và tùy chỉnh mẫu email được sử dụng.

Ghi chú

For abandoned cart emails, the customer must either have entered their contact details during the checkout process; or be logged-in when they added the product to their cart.

Delivery flow

Once a quotation has been confirmed, a delivery order is automatically created. The next step is to process this delivery.

Packing e-commerce orders usually requires picking the product, preparing the packaging, printing the shipping label(s) and shipping to the customer. Depending on the number of orders, strategy, or resources, those steps can be considered as one or multiple actions in Odoo.

An automatic email can be sent to the customer when the transfer status in Odoo is “done”. To do so, enable the feature in the settings of the Inventory app.

Ghi chú

If customers are allowed to pay when picking up their order in stores or by wire transfer, the quotation is not be confirmed and the stock is not be reserved. Orders must be confirmed manually to reserve products in stock.

Returns and refunds

Customers can only return an order through an online form. It may not be possible to return products depending on the return strategy or type of product.

Full refunds can be directly sent to customers from within the order interface. A refund-compatible payment provider needs to be enabled first.
