<p>With this extension you create order tags which can be automatically and/or manually assigned to your orders. When you have a successful eCommerce store, managing orders can be a time-consuming process. Keeping track of orders and processing them efficiently is fundamental to customers receiving their orders as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>Order tags are visible on the list of orders and within the order details page, you can easily filter orders by tags and bulk assign/unassign tags. By setting order tags you can easily see which orders have met certain criteria without clicking an order, reviewing the order details, and returning to the orders list.
