thanks. I must be thick because I still don't get it.

if I go to Customers > Orders i see various orders that were "store pickup" and have a "pending" status basically for us that means we met the friend to exchange product for payment instead of charging shipping. I also see the paypal orders that have a red dot on the left and have status as "processing" even though we received the funds already.

so basically what I'm trying to do is figure out how to mark each of these so that they are essentially "finished" or "processed". Does this make sense?

That screen you told me about is for changing the names of the statuses, but isn't where I update a particular order's status right?

Thanks,

Blake
