Orders keeps the record of what was sold after payment.

Payments are only part of the merchant workflow. Merchants also need receipt history, line items, tax data, notifications, shipping status, and a way to review sales later.

  • line items
  • totals
  • tax information
  • exchange-rate data
  • source TPoS or WebShop details
  • payment hash or payment reference
  • metadata needed for receipt and fulfillment flows

Basic setup

  1. Enable the Orders extension.
  2. Enable TPoS or WebShop.
  3. Complete a test payment.
  4. Open Orders.
  5. Confirm the paid order appears.

Notifications

Orders can notify the merchant or staff when a sale happens.

Supported notification targets include:

  • Telegram chat ID
  • Nostr npub
  • email address

Use notifications when:

  • the owner is not always in the shop
  • WebShop orders need fulfillment
  • kitchen or staff workflows depend on new order alerts

Receipt and fulfillment workflows

Orders can support:

Use these workflows to connect payment acceptance to real operations.
