Your Order-to-Delivery Workflow

Review, confirm, prepare, hand over, update, and handle exceptions โ€” a routine you can run daily.

Who this guide is for

Merchants running daily orders who want fewer surprises and returns.

Goal

Give every order the same reliable journey, regardless of how busy the day is.

1. Order review

Set two fixed times a day to review new orders โ€” for example 10:00 and 16:00. Batch review beats reacting to every notification.

2. Confirmation

Confirm COD orders before preparing them. An OTP-verified number plus a WhatsApp confirmation for higher-value orders filters most returns before they cost you a delivery fee.

3. Preparation and handover

Pack with the order note visible, include a thank-you card with your store name, and print the airway bill before the courier arrives โ€” not while they wait.

4. Customer updates

Send the tracking link the moment the parcel is handed over. One proactive message prevents three 'where is my order?' chats.

5. Exception handling

Failed delivery, wrong address, customer unreachable โ€” decide your rule for each now, in writing, so the busy version of you does not improvise.
