Prestashop Order Tracking

With the continuous developments in eCommerce, the need to integrate customer-centric features is also increasing.

The race to provide the best services is getting tougher day by day. But that doesn’t mean that you should opt yourself out from the race.

Instead, you need to look out more in the world in search of features that seemingly enhances your user experience.

That’s where the Prestashop Order Tracking module comes in. This module will provide more timely updates on orders and elevate the overall user experience.

Backend

After the successful installation of the module, a new tab adds in orders section i.e. “Order Tracking State”.

Under “Order Tracking State” tab, you will see the list of tracking states. Either you can choose to create a new state or else edit the existing state.

Click on the “Add New State” button to create a new state. In order to create a new tracking state, you will need to enter the following information.

• Name of the tracking state
• Description of the tracking state
• Icon for both pending and achieved state

Also, select the default order status with which you want to map this order state. So that tracking state is automatically updated on change of order status.

To automatically update the tracking state, you will need to enable it from the configuration settings.

After creating the state admin can view the new state on the order list too. You can change the tracking state of any order from the order list & order details page too.

If the admin changes the tracking state then it will also reflect on the customer end.

Note: If the admin changes the state from “order placed” to “delivered” then in-between states will automatically be achieved.

Front-end

Rearrange the position of tracking state

Admin can also rearrange the position of tracking states and it will reflect on the customer end too.
