Order Settings

aiq ecommerce supports stores of all sizes, from small sso to large msos use the order setting options to customize how aiq ecommerce works for you navigate to store > settings > orders order status auto confirm orders by default, new orders will go into the pending status and will need to be manually confirmed if you're using a pos integration (dutchie pos, flowhub etc ), orders will only be pushed to your pos once confirmed if you don't want to have to manually confirm every order, enable auto confirm orders, and the orders will skip the pending status and go directly to confirmed sub statuses you can set your own custom sub statuses for orders this is useful if you have additional steps that your orders to go through for example, some stores will use a "queued" sub status to indicate that an order has been queued before it can be fulfilled default sub status if you use the sub status feature, you can also specify a default sub status aiq ecommerce will automatically apply your default to new orders customer order notifications both email and sms order notifications come free with all aiq ecom plans send customer order email notifications by default, aiq ecommerce will

offers are applied together in the cart aiq ecommerce supports three different options no stacking, no double stacking, and stacking this is set in store settings > orders for more information, see discount stacking order type modal/popup when there are multiple order types enabled, by default we show a modal to select an order type (and input delivery address if one of the order types is delivery) you can optionally disable this for stores that offer delivery, we suggest keeping this on as the customer experience may change depending on if they are within a delivery zone or not aiq ecommerce also checks the address against the delivery zones of all other stores within your organization and will redirect a user to the correct store
