Order content type and management screens (OCC-48) about orchardcore.commerce

I will work on this.

Nwazet had a tracking URL on the order part, but that should be handled somewhere else, likely shipping: some orders may be split into several packages, each with its tracking URL.

I agree. If there were an interface to inject additional information into the order this would be an ideal implementation.

Another thing that came up, and I think workflows can take care of, is the fact that some orders may not immediately be valid, but may require some action from a back-office operator.

What would be the best way for me to add an order to test with? I was going to do it by going through the checkout process but got an error adding an item to the cart so I'm not sure if I just don't have everything setup right or if that process is not completed yet. Would it be better if I created a recipe that creates some products and an order?

Please file a bug with a repro for the shopping cart problem, but that won't help you create an order anyway, since checkout is not done. Instead, just create an order from the admin: it's just a content type. I think there's a recipe for creating the order type. LMK if that's not the case, can't check right now, but I can check later. Shouldn't be too hard to create if that's not the case.

I created issue #73 for the shopping cart problem. You are correct that there is a recipe for creating the order content type. I am able to create an order from the admin but I don't see how I can add Items to the order.

You can't add items to the order as it is.
