<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>
<p>Set up notes you want to be included as a reminder for EVERY order.</p>
<h3>Product Notes</h3>
<p>Set up notes you want to be included as a reminder when SPECIFIC WooCommerce products are part of an order.</p>
<h3>Email Integration</h3>
<p>When a customer orders that product, the order notification email includes the relevant store and product notes, so they can be used as a checklist.</p>
<h3>Dashboard Integration</h3>
<p>Whenever an order is reviewed in the WooCommerce dashboard, the relevant store and product notes are displayed.</p>

<figure id="attachment_152688" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152688" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-shipwire-order-admin.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-152688" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-shipwire-order-admin.png" alt="WooCommerce Shipwire Integration Order Admin" width="550" height="218" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152688" class="wp-caption-text">Order Admin with Shipwire</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Real-Time Shipping Rates</h3>
<p>There’s <strong>no need</strong> for UPS or FedEx extensions with Shipwire; simply enable the built-in shipping method and your customers will see real-time shipping rates. You can enable the optional delivery estimates to show customers when their shipment might arrive.</p>
<p>Selling expensive items that require tracking? No problem, you can require shipping rates to have tracking and/or delivery confirmation included.</p>
<figure id="attachment_152689" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152689" style="width: 293px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-shipwire-shipped-order.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-152689" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-shipwire-shipped-order.png" alt="WooCommerce Shipwire Integration Shipped order" width="293" height="283" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152689" class="wp-caption-text">Order and Tracking information</figcaption></figure>
<p>Since split-orders are supported, if the cart contains some products managed by Shipwire, the real-time rates will be used for that shipment, and your WooCommerce rates will be used for shipments of non-managed items.</p>

<h3>Automatic Order Fulfillment</h3>
<p>Orders can be automatically exported to Shipwire as soon as payment is received, or you can manually export orders with a single click.

If an order has a problem (an invalid address, for example), you can check the order notes to see exactly went wrong.</p>
