<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. This is a huge time saver and can even open up possibilities not previously possible.</p>
