Process Online Sales

Prepare online sales (orders) for shipping and in-store pickup.

Before You Begin

  • New online sales (orders) are found in Sales > Sales, with an order status of "New".
    • The default Sales list view sorts sales by the date & time they are received with the newest on top.
  • Online sales are designated in the Sales List with the "Online sale" purple pill. 

    • Click here for more information on the Online Sales List.
  • Click anywhere within the sale in the list to enter the sale details.

Review for Fraud

Capture Payment

  • Capture the payment within the sale details if manual capture is enabled, by clicking the "Capture" button at the bottom of the sale.

    • Confirm you want to capture the payment in the confirmation pop-up.

  • If automatic payment capture is enabled, confirm the payment is marked as Captured.
  • Change Sale Status from New to Being Processed, or the appropriate status for your shop.

Print Pick Ticket (optional)

  • If desired, a pick ticket can be printed by clicking "More Actions" in the upper right corner of the sale details and choosing "Print receipt".

  • Change the sale status to let others who view the Sale list know that the order is being fulfilled.
    • If the customer has an account with you, this status change is also visible to the consumer in the sale details section of their account. 
  • This pick ticket should follow the order from beginning to end. 

If Order Export is activated, you can export online sales directly from Workstand into your point-of-sale system.

Fulfill Products

  • If the ordered items are in stock in your store, take the pick ticket and retrieve the items.
    • Always be prompt about getting items! If you only have one left and you sell it to an in-store customer, your online customer is going to be disappointed.
  • If the items in the sale need to be ordered from a supplier, make sure to order the items or add them to the next order you submit.
  • Once you have the items that were ordered in hand, mark the products as Fulfilled within the sale details by clicking the "Fulfill products" button.
  • For in-store pickup orders, change the quantity and select "Pickup in-store" as the Fulfillment option.

    • Select a date the item(s) will be ready for pickup, a pickup time if desired, and click "Fulfill items".

    • The item will now display as Fulfilled within the sale details with a "Ready for pickup" designation.
    • Change the sale status to "Ready for pickup". 
  • For shipped orders, pack up the items and attach a shipping label to the box.  
    • Change the quantity and select "Ship from retail store" as the Fulfillment option.
    • Enter the tracking number, select the carrier from the drop-down menu, and click "Fulfill items".

    • The item will now display as Fulfilled within the sale details with a "Shipped with tracking number XXXXXX" designation.

Complete the Sale

  • Once the items have been picked up, or delivered to your customer, change the sale status to "Completed".
    • Changing the sale status to "completed" will remove it from the default sales list view.
    • To view completed sales, adjust the sales list filter to include completed sales.
