Some of the most important processes in the sales cycle such as payment settlement, and updating sales records can be automated via the batch
processes. Clicking on ‘Tools’ launches the pop up for scheduling these processes. You can schedule all the batch processes to run at a pre-determined

Settle online payments manually
Settle payments against the amount authorized during purchase
Generally run as a batch process via Integration Manager and Scheduler,
the CSR also has the option to settle pending invoices manually. He sees
the list of all invoices for orders that are shipped and invoiced in the
Manager Panel. Payments are settled against the authorization amount at
the time of order placement. Quick search has been provided that can be
used to filter the records.
Process individual invoices or all invoices together
The Manager Panel User/ CSR manually selects one or multiple
payments and clicks on ‘Process Selected Payments.’ He can
also select ‘Process All Payments’ if he wants to process all
records at one time.

Track batch process activity via integration logs
Selecting the invoices to be processed opens a pop-up that shows the progress bar and status of all processed records. Success and failure log
for processed records is visible in the integration log viewer. The Manager Panel Users/ CSRs have the ability to open these logs from the pop-up
itself. They can check the process log to see failed records and the reasons for failure.

While there is no batch process for settling offline payments, outstanding invoices for all orders placed using cash, check and wire transfer can be
settled by navigating to the ‘Create Payments’ menu in the Manager Panel.
The shopper can also settle such pending invoices from his self-service account and make a single payment against them, or pay an individual invoice
partially. Invoices are available real time in the shopper’s account.

records. Shipping confirmation emails sent are visible to the Manager Panel
User/ CSR in the email trail tab of the individual order.

Purchase history can also be refreshed for an individual customer as against
complete web store by visiting that customer’s record and clicking on ‘Refresh
Purchase History.’ Updated records help understand customer behavior, purchase
patterns, analyze best selling items and assist in the creation of the marketing and
sales strategy.

The CSR can specify warm up URLs in the Manager Panel. By clicking on
‘Warm Up Web Stores’ in the Manager Panel, the CSR crawls these pages and
caches certain data there. When customers visit those pages, most of the
details then come from the cache as against the database.
Optimize web stores with regular warm up
Manager Panel User/CSR specifies the URLs (commas separated) to
be crawled while creating the channel. If no URL is specified in the
channel, home page of the web store, product listing, search and home
page of the Manager Panel are crawled by default.
Add multiple warm up URLs

up itself.

Product sales details such as total sales quantity and order line total are updated in the Manager Panel by clicking on the ‘Update Sales Details’ under
Products/Articles. It launches a pop up that tracks the status of the batch process. This is important to determine the best sellers on the web store
based on actual quantity and price. All failure logs are saved in the log viewer in the Manager Panel.

The CSR selects a group of products and assigns them to be displayed as best sellers for a particular category on the web store. Selecting ‘New’
launches a pop-up where the best seller product and the category under which it is to be displayed is selected. Manual best sellers configured for a
category take priority over automatic best sellers if configured.
