Add Notes to Orders

You can add three types of notes to an order from the Order Details panel:

Order notes - You can see and record any steps taken or special requests with regards to the order. Any order notes that you enter remain specific to the order.
Shipping notes - You can see and record any steps taken or special requests with regards to any of the shipments associated with an order. Any shipping notes you enter remain specific to the shipment.
Customer notes - You can see and record any special notes with regards to the customer. The customer notes that you enter will remain associated with the customer.

Any notes you enter are time-stamped and added to existing notes. These are all displayed in chronological order with the most recent at the top.

Once you have saved a note, it can neither be edited nor deleted.

For each type of note, if there are preexisting notes, the Add Note icon appears as follows:
