Plugin Operation

May 25, 2023

Now that you have the plugin installed and configured, it's time to see how to operate with it and review order statuses, process with various payment methods, request returns, or cancel authorizations.

Order statuses in Shopify

In Shopify, we can have different statuses for an order. Below are the possible statuses of the order with the plugin:

• Paid: the payment has been made correctly.
• Expired: the time expired, and it is no longer possible to make the payment (it applies to cash and transfer payments).
• Authorized: the payment has been made by means of authorization. In this case, the amount is authorized to be captured later.
• Authorized Expiring: the time expired, and it is no longer possible to capture the payment.
• Partially refunded: a refund has been made, but it was only performed for an amount less than the total order paid, and the store’s stock with the returned products has been updated.
• Refunded: a full refund has been made, and the store’s stock of all returned products has been updated.
• Pending payment: is waiting for the payment to be made for a card (Only if it enters the retry policy), cash, or transfer. It automatically goes to Paid status when the payment is executed.
• Void: an authorization has been made, and the purchase order has been canceled.

Process one-time payments

To process one-time payments with credit and debit cards, transfers, and cash, it is necessary to configure the payment capture method within the Shopify console, the payment capture method as follows: Settings > Payments > Payment Capture, click the Manage button, where a window will be displayed in which we must select Manually capture payment for orders. Finally, click on the Save button, and it will automatically display the following message: Configuration saved.
