Sneak Peek: iPhone Order Processing with Interspire Shopping Cart

One of the features we've been working on but haven't yet mentioned is complete order processing on the iPhone. We chose the iPhone as the first mobile device we're supporting mainly because it renders web pages with Safari and Webkit, which made it extremely easy for us to build and debug. We may look to support other mobile devices in coming releases.

We are planning to release more features for the Apple iPhone in future versions, including the ability to purchase through an iPhone-specific store design. So far we've built the features below, which will be released in the 3.5 upgrade next week:

• Login to your store's control panel
• View, filter and search orders by keyword/status
  
• Page through hundreds/thousands of orders
• Change the status of an order (to shipped, awaiting shipping, etc)
• Update and view order tracking numbers
• View and reply to order messages
• Touch "Map this" to load an order's billing or shipping address into Google Maps on the iPhone
• Touch the customer's email address to send them an email from your iPhone
• Touch the customer's phone number to call them from your iPhone

Watch the video below and feel free to leave a comment. The video was recorded in Safari but we will be uploading one recorded using the iPhone emulator shortly.

Because the video was recorded in a smaller canvas than YouTube likes, as soon as it starts playing simply drag the progress bar back to the beginning to fix the incorrect scaling of the video.
