ShipEasy Magento OrderGrid.pngThis 'basic setup' is included in what I do for you if you purchase the Installation & Setup Service

Installation

Follow the Easy Install Guide to get shipEasy running.

Column Ordering

Head to the System > Config > Moogento / shipEasy and find the Grid Columns Setup. It's probably good to have the Sales > Orders page open on another window. Then go through and remove/add/reposition the columns to suit your store and way of working. This will likely evolve over a few weeks, so just get the obvious ones now.

Store Logos

This really helps get a quick visual overview of where the orders are coming from.

  1. Load, into Photoshop or equivalent, the logo image template which came with your extension zipfile > _sample_images/Template_website.psd.
    • Grab your logo, ideally a vector image.
    • Copy that and paste into the template file. You'll need to resize this to fit in the template.
  2. Save this as a transparent png-24 file.
    • We've got some premade logos in the same sample images folder for standard options (eg. eBay)
  3. Head back to the shipEasy config > Grid Columns Setup -> Store set Replace with image > Yes, and then upload your images for each store.

Custom Flags

Quickly and easily set meaningful flags on orders. A flag can be an image (including custom ones), preset text, custom text, or the current date. A flag can be set, in conjunction with pickPack, when you create a PDF (eg. you can show 'printed' so that you can easily keep track of where each order is in the processing line).

  1. First up, find the custom columns and turn them on. We've pre-filled some values to get you going fast.
    • In shipEasy Config > Grid Columns Setup find Custom Attribute 1 and turn it on.
    • You can also turn on the other columns if you'll need them.
  2. You can now set which flags to show. For graphic flags we have some premade ones built in, just include any of these:
    {{flag_red.png}}{{flag_orange.png}}{{flag_green.png}}{{flag_grey.png}}{{flag_shipped.png}}{{flag_checkered.png}}{{flag_alert.png}}
    • When you enter these images, add them in like this:
    Red Flag|{{flag_red.png}}
    In this example Red Flag will show as the dropdown option.
    • Use custom flags by saving .png images in the /skin/adminhtml/default/default/moogento/images/flag_images/ folder and putting the filename here.
  3. If you want a plain text flag just enter like this:
    Custom Text|#FFFFFF
    In this example Custom Text will show in the orders grid on a white background (#FFFFFF = hex code for white). If you're not sure what to enter, check here.
