Order Status

Order Status

Explanation

Processing *

Order has been paid for. Proceed with preparing the customer order.

Completed *

This is the only order status a vendor should change.  When an order has been dispatched, mark the order as completed so the customer knows you are finished processing and the order is on the way to them.

Failed

Do not dispatch, customer has failed bank check or did not proceed with the order. (https://help.shopinireland.ie/article/46/pending-payments)

Pending Payment

Do not dispatch. Shop in Ireland Admin will check these and mark as Processing or Failed accordingly. No action is needed by the vendor. Do not contact the customer directly.
