When a customer buys something from you an order will be displayed in your order management area. The initial status of the order will either be Pay Pending or Paid. This will depend on whether the order has been purchased using an integrated payment method, such as PayPal, or a custom payment method such as bank deposit. In the case of an integrated payment method the customer will have paid for the order at the time they made the purchase so the order will be marked as Paid. With a custom payment method you will need to look out for the payment and mark the order as paid yourself so the initial status will be Pay Pending.
Once an order has been paid you should:
1. Send out the goods.
2. Mark the order as processed.
Also found on Order pages, is the delivery status bar.
