  1. In the Cart, there will be a button option the User selects to save the order as a Standing Order instead of going through the usual checkout procedure. (NOTE - This button will not be displayed for Users who have not been given access to the Standing Orders feature.)  


  2. The User is taken to the Standing Order form, where they enter fulfilment details, e.g., address, order comments, etc. To progress to the next step, they click the Standing Order Review button.



  3. In the 'Standing Order' review page, the User can check the delivery information they just entered, and edit them if required. If Order Approvals is active for the User and the order amount will exceed their budget limit, the approver selection step is included.

    hared Order: default: ticked. Shared: all Customer Users including standing order administrators can edit the standing order. The standing order will still be active if the User who created it is inactive. If unticked, the standing order is 'Personal'. Only the User who created the standing order, the approver (if this option is used) and standing order administrators can edit it. All other Users can only view it. If the User who created the personal standing order becomes inactive, the standing order will not continue. 
    Recurrence pattern: (i) first, select 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly' or 'yearly', then (ii) set the day the order is to recur.
    Range of recurrence: enter the start date and if required, the end date of the standing order
    Terms and Conditions: if set by Admin, the User must acknowledge they have read the Standing Order Terms and Conditions by ticking the checkbox before continuing. If your business does not require this consent, the T&C section may not be displayed.   

  5. When they have finished, they click the Save Standing Order button to save the standing order. If approval is not required, the standing order will be active! If approval is required, the order will be in 'awaiting approval' status and the approver will be notified by email.

  • The standing order is suspended.
  • The standing order requires approval selection.
  • The standing order has expired.
