Privacy

Displaying the IP address may be illegal.

In Germany, you violate privacy laws if you store a customer’s IP address along with their order information.

In other countries, however, such as the United States, you are allowed to collect IP addresses.

Enable the feature only if you are sure you are not violating any laws.

You do this under Master Settings ‣ Core Settings on the System tab. Under Order, choose Store User IP Addresses (check your local laws if legal).

The Ship Now, Reset Shipping Date and Send e-mail? buttons perform the same function as in the Overview tab. You can set the shipping date and inform the customer about the shipment of the products by e-mail.

The Shipped on line will be filled with the date and time.

Shipping Information - Tracking Code

Enter the package ID of the order (epending on the shipping service provider tracking code, parcel label number, package reference, shipment number, etc.).

For tracking purposes, the tracking link, consisting of the tracking URL and the package ID of the order, is generated and sent to your customer with the email notifying him/her of the shipment of the goods.

The tracking link is also displayed in the customer’s order history in the frontend.

You can define the tracking URL separately for each shipping method.
To find out how to do this, see Tracking-URL.

If you have not defined a special tracking URL for a shipping method, the system uses the tracking URL you have defined in the administration area under Master Settings ‣ Core Settings ‣ Settings ‣ Other settings.

With downloadable products, offer software, photos, music files or document templates, for example.

If the customer puts a download item in the shopping basket, he or she acquires all the associated files that can be downloaded from the shop.

To send an e-mail with the download links to the customer, choose the Send button.
