Extended Order Grid for Magento 2

Challenge

For medium and large stores order processing can be extremely time-consuming, as the default Magento admin order grid without extension displays a limited scope of data. To find a particular record or get detailed info, store owners need to view each enquiry separately. It complicates data management and does not provide a full picture from the first view.

Solution

Create a custom Magento 2 order grid to monitor sales effectively and extend the default functionality by adding new columns to the grid in just one click. With the Custom Grid extension, you can easily filter order records and find the necessary one in a split second. View and analyze the exhaustive information about order processing in one place to build an effective management strategy.

Fast data processing

When a visitor comes to a store and decides to buy something, orders become the first interaction between a store and customers. To turn an occasional visitor into a regular customer, it is vital to react to their inquiries as soon as possible. To speed up order processing, show columns with customers, product, payment, shipping info, etc. Smart operation will leave a good first impression on customers and the chances of their return will significantly grow.

Create several grid views

To get quick access, create different templates showing required columns on the grid with the help of 'Save As' option. You can display various attributes on each template. This is handy if you either manage a certain type of orders differently (e.g. orders from various categories) or you have different managers, for whom such templates will be convenient.

Order search and filters

Find any inquiry record using attributes, which are displayed on the grid. For example, you can add the 'Weight' column, which shows product weight in an order and filter all orders weighing 1 pound. This way you can segment data to prioritize the processing.

Remove default columns from the grid

To customize the grid and make it more convenient, you can remove such columns as ID, Purchase point, Status, etc. from the grid to see only required information.

Prices before taxing

Select 'Subtotal' attribute to show ordered products prices before taxes if it is important for your business strategy.

Shipping and payment info

To take extra control over the delivery process, such attributes as Shipping and handling, Country, Postcode, Region, City, etc. are available as columns. You can use any parts of shipping or payment info to see the whole picture without visiting each order page separately.

Accurate and easy order management

While working with orders, it is necessary to link and display all info related to the inquiry. Add all needed columns to the multiple grid templates to save your time on loading order pages. For example, add customer's name, phone number, order total, shipping details and ordered products with thumbnails and decrease data processing time. Manage RMA for all types of products from the grid. Open any required order to deal with the RMA request.

Hide inquiries with certain parameters

Display only relevant information on the grid. Save a template where a certain order status is removed, e.g. hide orders with 'cancelled', 'pending', 'closed' statuses to see only current orders or vice versa. You can also create a whole grid of orders with 'pending' status. Add as many templates as you need for the optimal management process.

Total order weight display

There's no need to calculate order weight by hand any more. To save your time, the module automatically sums up product weights in an inquiry record and displays the sum in the particular column. Easily track and analyze this info to make smart data-driven decisions.

Product thumbnails

Show icons on the order grid to identify purchased products immediately. Useful when you have tons of products and can't physically remember all the names.

Customer phone number

Display clients phone numbers on the grid to call and clarify order details if needed.

Export orders with the info from the grid

There's an ability to export data with all info from the displayed grid columns. It is handy for further sales analysis, which will help to understand the purchases source and frequency.
NOTE: The module exports all grid information except for product data.
