Very effective and easy to use

It is simply the ideal plugin for when you need to create automated order rules.
Based on numerous triggers, you can move orders between statuses to keep the buyer informed of the milestones.
My case involves manufacturing personalized fashion accessories, so I created several statuses where the order goes through stages such as: design, preparation, cutting, checking... Everything is based on time, even if the action does not occur exactly at that moment, at least the Buyer receives notifications that their order is being manufactured and has peace of mind knowing that the order has not been forgotten.
