Order Lifecycle
Each order moves through the following statuses from placement to completion:1
Pending
The customer has placed the order, but payment has not yet been confirmed. Orders typically move out of this status within seconds once Zenso Payments processes the transaction.
2
Confirmed
Payment has been received. The order is confirmed and waiting to be picked up by your fulfilment workflow. Inventory has already been reserved at this point.
3
Processing
A staff member has opened the order and begun preparing it — picking items, packaging, or generating a shipping label.
4
Ready / Dispatched
For pickup orders, the status moves to Ready when the order is prepared and waiting for the customer to collect. For delivery orders, the status moves to Dispatched once the order has been handed to a delivery partner or sent out for local delivery.
5
Completed
The order has been collected by the customer or confirmed as delivered. The order is closed and recorded in your sales history.
Fulfilling an Order
- Delivery Orders
- Pickup Orders
- Open the order from Orders and review the items and delivery address.
- Set the status to Processing to indicate that fulfilment has started.
- Pick and pack the items, then generate a shipping label from the order detail screen — either through a connected carrier integration or manually.
- Hand the parcel to your delivery partner or dispatch it via your local delivery fleet.
- Mark the order as Dispatched. The customer receives an automatic notification that their order is on the way.
Refunds and Returns
To initiate a refund, open the relevant order from Orders and select Refund from the order detail screen. You can refund the full order amount or a partial amount — for example, if only one item from a multi-item order is being returned. Refunds processed through Zenso Payments are returned to the customer’s original payment method. Processing times depend on the customer’s bank or card issuer, but typically appear within 3–7 business days. For orders paid via a third-party payment provider, follow that provider’s refund process from within their dashboard. Zentrix Cloud will reflect the refund status once it is confirmed.You are responsible for publishing a clear refund and return policy on your storefront before you begin accepting orders. Zentrix Cloud processes refunds as instructed, but does not determine or enforce your policy terms. Ensure your policy is accurate, visible to customers, and compliant with applicable consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.
