So:-

(1) Can I export pending orders - due for shipping - to spreadsheets or other formats, for sending over to the fulfilment warehouse?

(2) Can I bulk update the customer's status of the order to show something like "At Warehouse for dispatch", when the pending orders are exported?

(3) Can I import or make a bulk update of pending or "At warehouse" (or some such notice) status to "Shipped" when I receive notification from the warehouse that the goods are en route, ideally with additional notes such as Courier ID/web site and Tracking ID?

When I mean updating it's for the customer information on their order status. Bulk updating also needing batch management to flag and track each export/update batch where needed.

If I have to handle bulk orders it will have to be outsourced and these are the key points I need to deal with.

(And apologies for appearing to duplite this post form the 2.0 version thread, didn't see this 3.0 thread until afterwards.)

I bet you can find your answer here somewhere.

- Clean up and reorganize the readme file (again!!!)
- MANY misc bug fixes and corrections
- Overall cleanup of the files to remove deprecated and unused code
- Countries now included as search option in "Batch Form Printing" and "Batch Status Updating"
- The "Edit Status History" feature has been restored and the functionality modified. Editing of order comments is now limited to hidden "admin only" comments. Additionally in previous versions of Super Orders the "Edit Status History" feature inserted HTML and ASCII line breaks into the database, and this ugly line break code was displayed when the customer viewed their order history from "Status History & Comments". This particular problem goes back to 2006, and has now been FULLY resolved/addressed.
- Customer comments modified to incorporate the latest Zen Cart 1.3.9 functionality/format
- Packing slip images are now a simple on/off admin configurable option.
- Batch print functionality has been expanded to include PDF invoices!! Options for the invoices are admin configurable
- Split orders has been improved to help shopowners easily reconcile a split order. Creates a parent and child order. Paid split orders will display the grand total paid for both parent and child order. For orders paid via PayPal, Authorize.net or Linkpoint, the admin payment panel will not display on the child order.
- Order total and customer address edit features have been removed in their entirety. (use Edit Orders if you need order/customer address editing functionality)
- Added missing shortcut icons on the orders listing screen. Now there is a corresponding shortcut icon on each order line that matches the buttons that appear in the sidebox.
- Restoration of missing default Zen Cart orders.php functionality. This now allows payment processor generated (PayPal, Authorize.net or Linkpoint) refunds to now be processed within Super Orders. (no longer requires the retention of the default orders.php to process PayPal, Authorize.net or Linkpoint refunds)
- AUTO PAYMENT FOR ORDERS PAID VIA PAYPAL!!!!!!! 'Nuff said...
- Improved graphics and buttons to SPRUCE UP the Super Orders UI
- If you have Edit Orders v3.0 installed, you can enable Edit Order in the Super Orders admin to enable Edit Orders buttons in Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required.. Simply install Edit Orders and "turn on" Edit Orders in the Super Orders admin!!)
- If you have Ty Package Tracker v3.0 installed, you can enable the Ty Package Tracker fields for Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required..) Simply install Ty Package Tracker and "turn on" Super Orders from the Ty Package Tracker admin!!)
- If you have USPS Click-N-Ship installed, you can enable USPS Click-N-Ship in the Super Orders admin to enable USPS Click-N-Ship fields/buttons in Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required.. Simply install USPS Click-N-Ship and "turn on" USPS Click-N-Ship in the Super Orders admin!!)
- If you have FedEx Automated Labels installed, you can enable FedEx Automated Labels in the Super Orders admin to enable FedEx Automated Labels buttons in Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required.. Simply install FedEx Automated Labels and "turn on" FedEx Automated Labels in the Super Orders admin!!)
Or you can read the read-me file that comes with Super order and click on the CONFIGURE & FEATURES. There are other add ons you will have to install along with Super Orders to do what you need to do. FIRST THING TO DO IS READ WHAT IT DOES, AND WHAT IT DOES NOT DO.
