New Payment Status for Supplier Orders
Shopify has introduced an important update to improve how supplier orders are tracked and managed within Shopify Collective. This change focuses on providing more flexibility for suppliers who work with retailers that do not use automatic payments.
What’s Different?
- Supplier orders from retailers who don’t use automatic payments will now be marked as ‘Payment Pending’ instead of ‘Paid’ upon receipt.
- ‘Payment Pending’ status allows suppliers to send invoices for payment collection via credit or debit card.
- Suppliers can also use the ‘Mark as Paid’ feature to manually update the payment status.
How This Benefits Suppliers
The new payment status empowers suppliers to:
- Track payment statuses with greater accuracy and transparency.
- Streamline the invoicing and payment collection process.
- Maintain better control of their order management workflows.
Action Steps for Suppliers
To adapt to this update, suppliers are encouraged to:
- Review their order payment workflows and make necessary adjustments for ‘Payment Pending’ orders.
- Utilize the 'Mark as Paid' feature to keep records updated.
This change enhances supplier-retailer collaboration and ensures smoother financial transactions within Shopify Collective.
