New orders
The add-on automatically refreshes the order list in the administration panel, highlights recently placed orders, and helps staff notice them sooner.
What it is for
When a store is busy, new orders may arrive while a manager is already viewing the order list. The add-on refreshes that list periodically without a manual page reload, highlights recent orders, and can play a sound notification.
Key features
- Automatic order list refresh at a configurable interval.
- Highlighting of recently created orders with a selected color.
- Configurable period during which an order is treated as new.
- Sound notification when new orders appear.
- Support for a custom notification audio file.
- A separate setting to enable or disable sound notifications.
How it works
On the order management page, the add-on retrieves the current order list at the configured interval. Orders created within the selected period are highlighted with the chosen color. When a new order is detected, the add-on can play the uploaded audio file. The sound notification also helps draw attention to orders with the Open status.
