Reorder from Recent Order/Repeat Previous Order

[tedwardson]

You should be able to click on the Product Ref to add that item to the cart. Some business customers may want to repeat an entire order. A repeat order button to add all the items to the cart would be a nice addition.

Hello Todd

A request for this feature has already been added to our wish list, I have added your vote to it as well.

I'd find this useful for my shops. People often forget what sort of paper they order so to just be able to say 'same again please' (ideally by clicking a link in an email) would be just what they needed.

Thank you Jan, have added your vote as well.

'Same again for me please' a great idea, gets my vote. Online supermarkets have this nailed right now or pretty close to it.

Our problem is that when you go into a old completed order to check on what they previously brought it moves the order from Completed back to pending

It then has to be re-exported to move it back to completed

BUT if you do that and also use Sage, next time you download to sage it send the file once again so sage treates it as another new order completed

Great for quickly building up turnover but not so good for a accounts inspection or balancing your books

We had to get a seperate program to move them back to completed, by highlighting them a special colour to identify which ones had benn reopened

@Lee, a vote added for you as well.

Hi Chris,

You could right click and preview the packing list or invoice instead, that would stop the status changing and still allow you to see what you ordered.

Cheers,

I've had several clients ask for this over the last few months so I'd vote for it.

The request is not unexpected and we looked into the possibility during the order tracking development. Unfortunately, without a full online database it is probably not possible, because we cannot store enough order detail online.

We could possibly enable a repeat of the previous order, perhaps by harnessing the saved cart facility; and / or enable a regular shopping list to be saved and repeated. But ATM that's as far as we could go.

Im not sure I understand your reply here, since the orders on the desktop version are downloaded to the pc, and contain all the relevant information needed, ie name, address, order details etc.

What is needed is the ability for a seller to do a MOTO order and repeat an order, as often happens when a customer calls and says they need a few extra products of the same order previously purchased. We need the ability to go into that order, click on ' repeat order' and then edit the quantities or add to them and then process the payment.

At the moment, all that can be done is to look up a customers address with the 'Shopped before' link. You then have to search for the previous products from the order.

Can this be added to the next version.?

ISWYM. Yes, that's possible for offline orders, and we do have a handful of requests on the wish list for it. Unfortunately we won't be able to undertake it in the next release, though.

Easy repeat order

We would like to see a simple "click to repeat order" option from the user's account history, BUT we would want the price charged to be the current price not the historic price. Please add our vote to this wish list item.

We are going down a similar path, we want to be able to give customers a link to re-order but with a current price.

We have tried the "adding to shopping cart from anywhere" from the advanced guide and it looks like it has potential, this link will get you a pack of razor blades at the current price:

Does anyone know a way to add a bit to the link which will log the customer in ?

Thanks for thinking about it,
