By Yavini Lucille · 29th June, 2022
E-commerce has changed dramatically during COVID-19, and it will likely continue to do so in 2022. Although online payments (like e-wallets, online banking, and QR payments) are on the rise, people are still going to go shopping offline.

2. [Order] Adding order name for non-’Online store’ orders
One of the measures for evaluating a business is the amount of orders. And the quantity of orders will increase every day, but it will never be ideal. It means that manually changing the order name is becoming more difficult.
We know a lot of merchants are selling on multiple sales channels, like Shopee, Lazada, Facebook, Instagram, and more. There is no doubt that you will need specific information in order to segment and see your orders easier.
That’s why we provide make it easier for your order names.
For example, if you sell on Shopee, you might like to keep the order name to your orders that come from Shopee, such as 220427MXQW5WP2. Then you order will come through with order name such as 220427MXQW5WP2 (#2213).
