MODULE OPTIONS

Some aspects of the Fishbowl Checkout module can be customized by opening the module, clicking the Tools menu, and then selecting Module Options.

Module Options General tab

Number Checkout orders separately from Sales Order

With this option on, Checkout orders numbers will be based off the number in the next number field. If this option is off, then the next Sales Order number will be used.

Next Number

The characters entered in this field will be used as the next order number. Every time a new order is created, the final group of numbers will be increased by one. For example, Pier1-Order99-LA will be incremented to Pier1-Order100-LA.

Highlight difference in list price after a 'Save'

If the price of an item is different than the list price, this option will ensure that the price is highlighted with a blue font, even after a save.

Do not change sales tax for tax exempt customers

Setting this option will prevent the sales tax from changing to 'None' when selecting a tax exempt customer.
