Orders

After receiving an e-mail notification that someone has placed an order in your store, you can come to the Orders screen in ShopSite to view order information. The Order screen lists all orders in your store, and new orders are preceded by an asterisk (*). The list of orders shows the order number and the customer name.

Note:

Order information is not sent by e-mail because e-mail is not secure. Viewing or downloading your orders from your browser is secure if your store is configured to use secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol (e.g., https://). If you see a warning at the top of the Orders screen, your store is not configured to use SSL. Contact your host administrator to enable SSL for your store.

Note:

You will not see these buttons unless you have orders.

View Orders
Select one or more orders in the list that you would like to view and click View Orders. You can view one, several, or all of your orders this way. You can also print your orders using your browser’s Print function. If you are selling digital dowload products, you can send download keys to customers from this screen.
This button will only appear if you are using real-time credit card processing. In a nutshell, orders are authorized when a customer clicks the Submit This Order button. If the order cannot be authorized, the customer will be notified of that and invited to re-enter the credit card information. Therefore, if the order appears on the Orders screen, you know that the payment has already been authorized. However, the customer’s card will not be billed (that is, the funds will not be captured) until you select the order from the list on the Orders screen and click Bill Orders. After you have billed the order, you can delete the order by clicking Delete Orders (see below). If you do not wish to complete the transaction, you may delete the order without billing it.
Delete Orders
Just as you can view one, several, or all your orders at once, you can delete them from your store after you have finished processing them. Be careful you don't delete your orders before you have collected payment information.

Periodically, it is a good idea to record your orders and delete them. A good way to keep the information on file is to view all your orders by selecting them from the list and clicking View Orders, then save the page as a text file in your Web browser. That should be a feature under the File menu in your browser.

Click this button to go to the Database Download screen where you can download all of your orders to your local computer. You can download order information in three formats; click these links for more information:
Warning:

If you download the orders database to your local computer, you must ensure that customer information remains private and secure. ShopSite cannot encrypt or protect information on your local computer.

Note:

ShopSite includes all orders in each dowload. If you download orders once, and then download orders again without first deleting the orders that you already downloaded, those orders will be included in both downloads.

Shop Site uses an intruder detection system to help keep your order information secure. The Security button will take you to a screen that allows you to manage the intruder detection system.
Note:

The intrusion detection system requires cookies to be enabled on the merchant's client computer(s) in order to accurately track and report unauthorized access to the order system, although access logging will continue regardless of whether or not cookies are enabled.
