Order Type

Order Type Overview

Order Type objects, just as the name implies, are objects that provide for and govern the orders placed by a customer. It sets options such as currency, e-mails to send out for placed orders, invoice options, and it is also the parent object for two stages of the selling process; Payment Gateways, and shipping. In short, it's an important - and powerful - object, so make the most of your Order Type!

You will use your Order Type object in various Atoms that are set up for XPOR's ecommerce system - so that it "governs" the system as the customer proceeds through it, keeping everything consistent with the way you'd like to sell your products.
