Order processor indicates which shopping cart module processed a specific order.
The order processor assigned to a particular order is displayed in the Order Processor row of the Order Status section of the Order Editor.
Order processor values may also be viewed on the Search Orders page, by customizing the Search Orders table columns to include Order Processor.
Original Order Processors
Prior to Version 14.0113, the shopping cart only included three order processors:
-
Customer
An order placed in the storefront was handled by the Customer order processor.
-
Admin
An order placed by an admin, using either the Place a FREE Digital Product Order Tool or the Place an Order Tool, was handled by the Admin order processor.
-
Subscription
An order generated as the result of a subscription transaction (either when the shopping cart automatically processed the subscription transaction, or when an admin manually processed a subscription transaction) was handled by the Subscription order processor.
Since the release of Version 14.0113, the Admin order processor has been replaced by the Free Digital Delivery Tool and Place an Order Tool order processors; the Imported order processor has been added; and the Subscription order processor has been divided into the Subscription (Auto) and Subscription (Manual) order processors.
Orders placed prior to the release of Version 14.0113 remain assigned to their original order processors (except for orders that have since been updated via the Import/Export Center).
As a result, the Admin order processor may still be assigned to some old orders, even though that order processor is no longer used by new orders.
Additionally, orders generated from subscription transactions prior to the release of Version 14.0113 are all assigned to the Subscription (Auto) order processor, even orders resulting from manually processed subscriptions.
Current Order Processors
Subsequent to the release of Version 14.0113, the shopping cart handles new orders through the following order processors:
-
Customer
An order placed in the storefront is handled by the Customer order processor.
-
Free Digital Delivery Tool
An order placed through the admin area Place a FREE Digital Product Order Tool, at [Products > Digital Delivery Module > Place a Free Digital Product Order], is handled by the Free Digital Delivery Tool order processor.
-
Imported
An order created through the Import/Export Center is assigned to the Imported order processor. Additionally, when an order is updated through the Import/Export Center, the order is assigned to the Imported order processor, replacing whichever order processor was previously assigned to the order.
-
Place an Order Tool
An order placed through the admin area Place an Order Tool, at [Orders > Place an Order], is handled by the Place an Order Tool order processor.
-
Subscription (Auto)
An order generated when the shopping cart automatically processes a subscription transaction in the Subscription Queue during one of the store's Processing Times is handled by the Subscription (Auto) order processor.
-
Subscription (Manual)
An order generated when an admin manually processes a subscription transaction is handled by the Subscription (Manual) order processor.
