Using order tags to manage and approve orders

Manage order download to your POS if you need time to evaluate orders for routing or risk

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Orders sync to your POS in real-time. However, reviewing order routing or the fraud risk of Shopify orders takes a moment or two.

Mortar Scale plan includes support for approving orders before they download either manually or using Shopify Flow to approve orders that are not a fraud risk. Routing can be adjusted or high-risk orders can then be canceled before they are processed.

Mortar offers two options for using tags to control when orders are created in your POS. You can INCLUDE or EXCLUDE orders based on a combination of your chosen tag(s).

Many shop owners use Shopify's Flow to automate applying tags to orders as they move through various approval stages.

Step by Step for manually approving orders

  1. Define your “approved” order tags in in the “Allow only orders with these tags” setting in Mortar

  2. Staff approves new orders and adds the “approved” tag to the order once review is complete and any adjustments have been made. This should be done regularly to ensure inventory accuracy.

Step by Step for High-risk orders

  1. Define your “approved” order tags in in the “Allow only orders with these tags” setting in Mortar

  2. Setup a Shopify flow to automate adding the “approved” to your orders in Shopify after a brief wait (10-30 secs).
