Control Panel

Articles

Pending Flags
At the top right of your Control Panel, you should notice a set of orange icons with a corresponding number count. Each of these will assist you in running your parts website.
Searching Orders
When you log into the Control Panel and you need to locate a specific order, there are a few different ways to search for it. You can either use the "Orders" drop down in the menu at the top of the page. You can also use the "Recent Orders" button, "Search Orders button," or specify an order number in the "Order #" search box.
Shipping Rates & Pickup
When your new parts website goes Live, shipping rates should already be implemented. These are determined on the parts total of your customer's basket. If there are any items (ex: rotors, body panels) with fixed shipping costs assigned to them, then the basic rate will not be applicable to these items. However, should a cart or basket contain items with fixed shipping cost and without, both rates will be combined.

VIN Message & Checkout Message
The VIN message notifies customers during their checkout process to provide the VIN Number for their vehicle, in order to ensure the accuracy of their order. For this reason, the VIN message is an important aspect of your Cart Page.
