<p>You have a WooCommerce store, and you’re getting orders…</p>
<p>If your products are ‘set and forget’ and guaranteed error-proof during order processing, then congratulations! But if you live in the real world, and sometimes errors are made after you receive orders and these errors cost you time and money.</p>
<p>Worse, what if there is critical information about products, suppliers or delivery that is required to process orders correctly, and you are the only one who knows the rules? If you can’t share information with others, you can’t delegate. This might slow business growth and stop you from ever taking a holiday!</p>
<p><em>After The Order</em> is a WooCommerce plugin to help you record critical order processing notes and avoid errors. Start using it today, so you can make every team member an expert in order management!</p>
<h2>Imagine A Better Way to Manage Orders</h2>
<p>What happens when you get all of your order management knowledge out of your head and into a system?</p>
<p>The system delivers the right information to the right person at the right time.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fewer Errors</strong> – Use the power of checklists to avoid making known errors.</li>
<li><strong>Better Customer Service</strong> – Process orders accurately and consistently to improve customer service.</li>
<li><strong>More Profit</strong> – Use cross sells more effectively to increase per-order profitability.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What Does The Plugin Do?</h2>
<p><em>After The Order</em> makes it easy to set up order management notes that are emailed to the store manager when an order is received.</p>
<h3>Store Wide Notes</h3>
