Order Details
Walkthrough of the Order Details page: status and payment fields, line items, totals, invoice link, upgrade banner, and edit, complete, cancel, and delete actions.
What the Order Details page is for
Order Details is the single-order cockpit. It gathers everything that happened on one transaction — the products ordered, the payment record, and the services that were created — into one screen, so your support staff can answer "what happened with this order?" without hunting through other pages.

How to open an order
Open the Orders page from the sidebar and click any row in the list. You land on that order's detail page. If you arrived from a client's profile, the top-left link reads Back to Client and returns you there; otherwise it reads Back to Orders.
Reading the page
The header shows Order #<number>. When the order is a plan change rather than a new purchase, an Upgrade badge appears next to the order number, and an Upgrade Details banner is usually shown higher up (covered below).
Below the header are several cards:
- Order Details — Status, Payment, Billing Cycle, Subtotal, Setup Fee (only shown when a setup fee was charged), Total, and Created date.
- Client — the customer's Name and Email. Both the name and the View Client link open that client's profile.
- Notes — internal notes that only staff can see; never visible to the customer.
- Order Items — one row per product on the order.
- Invoice — a View Invoice link, shown only when the order has a linked invoice. It opens the matching invoice.
The Order Details card fields
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Status | The order's lifecycle state: Pending, Completed, Cancelled, or Fraud. |
| Payment | The payment state: Pending, Processing, Completed, or Refunded. |
| Billing Cycle | The cycle the order was placed on (for example Monthly, Annually, or Hourly). |
| Subtotal | The product amount before setup fees. Hourly orders show four decimal places for precision. |
| Setup Fee | The one-time setup charge. This row only appears when a setup fee greater than zero applies. |
| Total | The full charged amount. For hourly orders this reads Credit-based, because hourly usage is drawn from the client's credit balance rather than a fixed total. |
| Created | The date and time the order was placed. |
The Order Items table
Each row lists one product with these columns: Product, Billing (its own billing cycle), Amount, Setup (its setup fee), Status, and Category. Under the product name, the row may also show extra detail captured at checkout, such as Host (hostname), OS, Location, and any custom fields. Custom fields marked for staff carry an (admin) tag.
If an item has already produced a service, its row becomes clickable and highlights on hover. Click it to jump straight to that service's detail page. Rows without a linked service yet are not clickable.
Editing an order
Use Edit Order to change an order's state inline:
- Click Edit Order in the header. The Status and Payment values turn into dropdowns and the Notes card becomes an editable text box.
- Set Status to Pending, Completed, Cancelled, or Fraud.
- Set Payment to Pending, Processing, Completed, or Refunded.
- Type or update internal staff notes in the Notes box (placeholder: Internal notes…).
- Click Save to apply, or Cancel to discard your edits. Changes take effect immediately on save.
Header actions
When you are not editing, the header shows action buttons that depend on the order's state:
| Button | When it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Edit Order | Always | Switches the page into edit mode so you can change Status, Payment, and Notes. |
| Mark as Completed | Only while the order Status is Pending | Confirms the order and triggers provisioning of the ordered services. You are asked to confirm first. |
| Cancel Order | Only while the order still has pending items | Cancels the order after a confirmation prompt. The order moves to Cancelled. |
| Delete | Always | Permanently removes the order. Cannot be undone. |
Deleting an order
Clicking Delete opens a confirmation dialog. It includes a checkbox: Also delete and terminate the services allocated to this order. Leave it unchecked to remove only the order record while keeping any services running; tick it to also tear down the services that this order created. Confirm to finish.
Deletion is permanent. If you only want to flag a bad order rather than erase it, prefer setting Status to Fraud (see below) so the record and its history are preserved.
Upgrade orders
When a customer changes an existing service to a different plan, the resulting order is an Upgrade order. These show an extra Upgrade Details banner with:
- From / To — the previous and new product names.
- Upgrade Status — whether the upgrade completed, failed, or is still pending.
- Service — a link to the affected service.
- Credit, Charge, and Fee — the credit applied from the old plan, the amount charged for the change, and any upgrade fee. These appear only when a credit was applied.
Common tasks
- Confirm a paid order and start provisioning
- Click Mark as Completed while the order is Pending, then confirm.
- Record a refund
- Click Edit Order, set Payment to Refunded, and click Save. This records the refund on the order; it does not by itself send money back through your payment provider.
- Flag a fraudulent order
- Click Edit Order, set Status to Fraud, and save. The order is marked without being deleted.
- Jump to the created service
- In the Order Items table, click any row that has a linked service.
Tips and gotchas
Marking an order Completed triggers provisioning — only do it once payment is confirmed, or use it deliberately to provision an order you are accepting manually.
- The Cancel Order button disappears once an order no longer has pending items, since there is nothing left to cancel.
- The Invoice card and its View Invoice link only show when an invoice is attached to the order.
- Notes are for staff only and are never shown to the customer.
