- Specify the following status options:
-
Name - enter a status name.
-
E-mail subject - enter some text which will be the subject of the email notification about the order with this status.
-
E-mail header - enter some text which will be displayed in the email notification about the order with the status.

Color - color to be used
to visually distinguish orders in this status from other orders in the
order list in the administration panel. Either enter an RGB code into
the text field, or click the palette icon to open a palette and pick
the color.

to inform the customer about placing the order with this status or
changing the order information.

-
Remove CC info - select to remove sensitive credit card info from the database when the order status changes to this status.
- The Pay order again option allows for a customer to pay the order again if it was declined.

Invoice/Credit memo - chose the condition of the order after receiving this status: Default - the default behavior (an invoice ID is not generated); Invoice - the order has been paid and processed successfully (an invoice ID is generated); Order - the order has been placed, but not paid out; Credit memo - the order has been paid and processed, but then returned (a credit memo ID is generated)
-
Allow return registration - select to allow customers to request a return if the order has this status.
NOTE: The Allow return registration option is displayed only if the RMA add-on is enabled.
