Allocate Order Items Manually

If Aiminaabee manages the inventory of an ordered item, it reserves or allocates the ordered quantity from inventory. This ensures that the item's available quantity is reduced by the ordered quantity.

Aiminaabee allocates the ordered quantity from the stock location of the chosen shipping option in the order. For example, if the customer chooses a shipping option that uses a stock location in the US, Aiminaabee allocates the ordered quantity from that stock location.

In some cases you may need to allocate an item manually, such as if you edit the order or if you changed the inventory management configuration of the item's product variant. You'll find next to the item's name in the Summary section a Not allocated badge.

To allocate these items manually:

1. Go to the Summary section of the order's details page.
2. If one or more items haven't been allocated, click the "Allocate items" button at the bottom of the section.
3. In the form that opens, choose the location to allocate from in the Location field.
4. In the Items to Allocate section, enter the quantity to allocate for each item.
5. Click "Allocate Items" when you're done.

Edit the Shipping Address

To edit the shipping address used for an order:

1. Open the order details page.
2. Click the three-dot menu in the Customer section header.
3. Select "Shipping address" from the dropdown.
4. In the side window that opens, update the address details.
5. Click Save when you're done.

Edit the Billing Address

To edit the billing address used for an order:

4. In the side window that opens, update the address details.
5. Click Save when you're done.

Edit Email Address

You can edit the email address of an order to send order-update notifications to a new email address. This doesn't update the associated customer's email address or transfer the order to a new customer. To transfer the order to a new customer, see Transfer Customer Ownership below.

To edit the email address associated with an order:

1. Open the order details page.
2. Click the three-dot menu in the Customer section header.
3. Select "Email" from the dropdown.
4. In the side window that opens, edit the email address.
5. Click Save when you're done.

Transfer Customer Ownership

You can transfer the ownership of an order to another registered customer. This changes the customer associated with the order and sends notifications for order updates to the new customer.

You can't transfer ownership to a guest customer, including customers you create through the vendor dashboard.

When you transfer ownership, the original customer receives a notification requesting approval for the transfer. The order is transferred to the new customer only after the original customer approves the transfer.

To transfer the ownership of an order to another customer:

1. Open the order details page.
2. Click the three-dot menu in the Customer section header.
3. Select "Transfer ownership" from the dropdown.
4. In the side window that opens, choose the new customer from the "New owner" dropdown.
5. Click Save when you're done.

The original customer will then receive a notification requesting their approval for the transfer.

Cancel an Order

You can cancel an order if no items have been fulfilled. Canceling an order will:

• Change the order's status to canceled.
• Refund any captured payments.
• Cancel any authorized payment.
• Notify the customer about the cancellation.

To cancel an order:

1. Open the order details page.
2. In the first section showing the order number, click the three-dot menu next to it.
3. Select Cancel from the dropdown.
4. Confirm canceling the order by clicking "Continue" in the pop-up.

If the order has been paid for or fulfilled, you'll receive an error message preventing you from canceling the order. Otherwise, the order will be canceled.
