Create Single Order with Multiple Items

Introduction

This functionality builds upon our existing consolidated invoice feature and offers a streamlined approach to manage orders for consolidated invoices. With this feature, all items within a consolidated invoice that share the same shipping address and shipping date will be clubbed together in one order, providing our customers with a more efficient and convenient way to manage orders with multiple items.

Importance of this Feature

This new feature is important for our users, particularly those who sell multiple physical goods. This feature empowers e-commerce brands to streamline their organizational processes. By clubbing items with the same shipping address and date together in one order, brands can efficiently manage their orders, invoices, and fulfillment processes, saving time and reducing administrative overhead.

Prerequisites

These are the prerequisites before enabling this feature:

• Enable Consolidate Invoices for All Customers. Consolidated invoicing must be enabled for all customers before enabling this feature. Ensure that Consolidated Invoicing is enabled and that all the required conditions for consolidated invoicing are met for all customers.
• Enable orders in Chargebee for this feature to function correctly.
• Set up Items or Plans as Shippable. When creating items such as plans, addons, subscription-level charges, or customer-level charges, ensure the items are tagged as shippable. This is necessary to create the order with the item associated with the consolidated invoice.
