Order Of Processing During Checkout

1. Overview of the Feature

The Order of Processing (Cart Reordering) step lets power-users specify the exact sequence in which items are processed within Infigo — directly inside the checkout flow. When the setting is enabled, a dedicated “Cart actions” step becomes available. From there, shoppers can drag-and-drop (desktop) or tap Up/Down controls (mobile) to rearrange line items without changing quantities, options, or attributes.

Behind the scenes, the platform writes the chosen position to each order line as LineNumber, ensuring downstream systems receive jobs in the same order the customer specified.

Heads-up:

• The step is not compatible with the Checkout Option 1 appearance setting.

• Grouped items (e.g., kits or versioned products) are displayed individually, so the order shown in the cart or confirmation page may differ slightly. The system still honours the order you set when it writes the LineNumber values.

2. Typical Use Cases

• Production Sequencing
  A print buyer wants postcards queued before envelopes so finishing equipment receives jobs in the right order.
• Staged Deliveries
  An events team sends banners first, then brochures, allowing venue staff to start installation while collateral is still en route.

3. Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

1. Enable the feature

3. Reorder items (desktop experience)

   1. Hover any row to reveal the drag icon.

   2. Drag the row; a highlighted line indicates the drop target.

   3. Release to drop. The Order column renumbers automatically.

4. Reorder items (mobile experience)

   • Use the ▲/▼ buttons on each row to move items up or down.

5. Complete checkout

   • Proceed through the remaining steps. The chosen order is preserved on the order confirmation page (subject to kit/version grouping rules).

   • Each order line now carries a LineNumber property that matches your sequence, allowing production and MIS integrations to honour the order.

4. Additional Notes & Limitations

• Kits & Versions: Parent items always remain at the top of their group; child items are listed beneath and can be reordered within the set.

• API & Reporting:

  • LineNumber is exposed on each order line for downstream processing.

  • Reporting tables include this column for easy auditing.

• Default behaviour when disabled:

  • Orders use the natural cart sequence as before.
