There are many aspects to a successful online retailer, and order management is certainly one of the most important ones. Proper order management not only allows your business to run smoothly, but it keeps customers happy, making them far more likely to visit your site in the future.
Magento order processing extensions help to simplify order management in your business, doing everything from organizing orders and making shipping run smoothly to keeping customers in the loop about the status of their purchases.
Magneto extensions help take your business to the next level by simplifying operations and organizing your orders as their numbers increase. We’ve compiled five of the best extensions that will help you control your business as it grows, making sure you never have to worry about proper order management.
Extensions/Solutions:
E-mail to Customers by Amasty
Communication remains one of the most vital aspects to the sustained success of a business, and that includes contacting your customers when necessary. No matter the reason, you need a way to get in touch with your customers quickly and efficiently. This extension allows you to send e-mails to one or many customers at once (whether they are registered or guests), using order and customer-related variables in the messaging.
Assign Order to Customer by MagPleasure
Many online shoppers, when purchasing something from a site for the first time, will do so as a guest if they are not required to become a registered user. However, if someone becomes a regular shopper at your site, he or she may want to know his or her order history before becoming a registered user. That being said, this Magento extension makes that process simple, allowing you to assign guest orders to any registered user and send an email notification to the customer, detailing the guest order assignment.
Simplify Bulk Order Processing by XTENTO
As your business continues to grow, dealing with orders individually isn’t as much of an option. Therefore, you need to be familiar with bulk order processing, which is made easier with this extension. This adds ten new mass actions to the order grid actions to enhance processing, while also giving users the ability to create invoices and shipments, add tracking numbers to orders, complete orders, change the order status and much more for multiple orders at the same time. Save valuable time throughout the day by processing orders in bulk with this Magento extension.
ShippingEasy by ShippingEasy
With this Magento order processing extension, orders are automatically downloaded for shipping, including a buyer’s address and preferences. You’ll also get discounted shipping rates from USPS and FedEx, generated shipping labels, a consolidated view of shipments (with real-time tracking), automatic updates that mark orders as fulfilled, and much more. For simplified shipping, this is the extension for you.
Order Status by Amasty
This order management extension from Amasty, takes current order statuses and makes them far more flexible. As your orders increase, it will be important to differentiate between them and create statuses that go beyond the default and automatic ones that are provided. This extension allows users to create additional order statuses for every state, edit existing order statuses, send order status change notifications to customers and more. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to install.
Integrated Order Management Solution
These are obviously just a few of the Magento order management extensions you should be targeting for your business; there are many more out there that serve a variety of functions. Of course, these particular extensions are built mainly for order management, and many other Magento extensions sync with just one other system.
In order to get the most out of your online business solutions, though, you need a cloud-based connector that is able to sync all of your systems together, from your eCommerce and point of sale platforms to your ERP and accounting systems. This will certainly help with order management, but it also enhances every other aspect of your business, from basic sales and customer interaction to inventory and data management across multiple stores.
