Order Attributes
by Amasty
Get enough information – complete orders without delays:
Stop calling or emailing your customers to get additional data - add more fields to checkout page and receive all the necessary information at once.
Add fields for business information, delivery dates, marketing questions or anything you want.
Make order process at your store much faster to increase customer satisfaction and not to lose money.
Gather required order information and use it effectively.
Improve usability of your store for both customers and admins:
Show the attributes on the orders grid for convenient access to the data.
Sort and filter orders by the custom attributes for easy reporting.
Attribute values can be saved for future checkouts. Why is it useful? - Registered customers will not need to enter the same information with each order.
Fill in custom order attributes when creating orders from admin panel.
Automatically apply default value for cases, when the attribute field was not filled in or if the attribute is set to be not visible on front end.
Edit order attributes' values after the order was placed, right from the order view page in admin panel.
When an order is edited, the attributes are copied into the new order.
Attribute configuration options:
Unlimited number of additional fields for the checkout steps.
Choose at which store views to display the fields.
Available field types: text field, dropdown, checkboxes, dependable dropdowns, date with time and other.
The fields can be added to the order-related emails and PDF documents (invoices and packing slips).
You can display the attributes on order view pages both to admins and customers.
Order attributes can also be shown on shipment/invoice grid and view pages.
Advanced extension features:
Support of Paypal Express checkout.
Order attributes can be used in any email template which has order object (for example order confirmation email), with possibility to process them by functions.
Additional validation rule (25 characters length check).
