Manage orders as a vendor

FlyCommerce splits a marketplace order by vendor, so you handle only the items you sell. As a vendor, you use the order list to filter orders, charge and accept them, create shipments, issue refunds, and print packing slips and invoices.

A customer can buy from several vendors in one visit. The cart groups items under each vendor’s name, and each vendor fulfills the items it sells.

Administrators see marketplace orders on the Orders → All Orders page of the admin dashboard. For that view, see Manage orders as an admin.

  1. Sign in to the FlyCommerce vendor dashboard.
  2. Go to Orders → All Orders.
  3. Filter the list by status: Completed, Processing, Pending, Failed, Canceled, or Refunded.
  4. Open an order to view its details.

To accept an order, charge it.

  1. Open the order and click Charge Order.
  2. In the window that opens, choose a payment method.
  3. Click Charge “X” amount, where X is the order total.

If an order has several items, you can ship some products now and create another shipment for the rest by changing the number of products.

If your marketplace uses third-party couriers, you can skip manual shipments. Turn on Auto-push orders to courier in Shipping → Preferences. When an order enters processing, FlyCommerce sends it to the courier the customer selected at checkout, so you do not need to create a shipment manually.

Shipment changes can be sent to your own systems. The order.shipment.created and order.shipment.updated webhook events cover new and updated shipments. For setup, see Webhooks.

You can refund a full order or part of one from the order page. Customer return and refund requests are reviewed through the process in the admin refunds and returns guide.
