Order Billing and Shipping Statuses

All orders have a Billing Status and a Shipping Status.  These are primary identifiers used for search and reports, as well as several automated services.  

  • The billing status of an order represents the state of the payments within the order. 
  • The ship status designates how the order is processed and it's current state of transit from sale to the customer. 

When viewing an order detail, the billing and shipping statuses are in the order header. 

Billing Status Terminology

ID Billing Status Definition
1 Not Paid No payments on the order are processed.  Payment statuses could be not paid or declined. Orders from the web may not paid if auto-processing is not active, and will have this as payment status until the payments are run manually or with bulk auth/capture.
Orders can also be not paid if a POS payment is created, for invoicing a customer with payment terms.
2 Authorized CC Credit card has been authorized but not captured until batch is settled.  (This function is not currently used.)
Declined CC No longer used.  Old orders in the system may be designated with this billing status.  More recent orders will remain in a Not Paid status if any of the payments have declined, or are still unpaid. 
4 Billed Used if you want to send an invoice for a customer to pay by check or call you with cc info on.
5 Partial Paid The status of an order with multiple payments, either from split payment in the POS or from allocation wish granting.  A partial paid order will have at least one paid payment, and at least one not paid or declined payment. 
6 Paid Once all payments are processed and paid.  Also, when an order is paid inventory in depleted at the same time.
7 Cancelled Only an unpaid order can be cancelled.  These orders should be excluded from reporting.
8 Refunded When a paid order is fully returned, the billing status is updated to refunded.
9 Credit Represents a credit given back as part of a refund.  The Net balance of an order is the sum of the Refunded order plus the credit order. 
10 Void An order can only be voided on the same day it was created.  After that day has passed a refund or credit must be issued.  Void orders should be excluded from reporting.
