This will depend on what checkout module you are using and how it is configured.

Satchmo has what looks like 4 commonly used product status (along with other probably less-used ones): 1) In process. 2) Billed. 3) Shipped. 4) Complete. I am using a 3rd party checkout system, so here is what the mean to me: When the order is "in process" it means that the person has submitted an order and it will show up to us in our 3rd party checkout system as "awaiting billing". At this point, we can hit the "bill customer" button and the status will be changed to Billed. Then, we will print the shipping label from satchmo and ship the order. Once the order has been received, it is "complete". I'm sure that you can take the status to mean whatever you need them to, but that is how I interpreted them. 2009/9/27 Hazzadous <[email protected]> > > I would have assumed the "Shipped" meant it is in the hands of the > delivery service, not that it has reached its destination.
