How to Make an Order in Magento
The order process consists of several simple steps. You start by adding an item to the cart, then proceed to checkout, select a checkout method, fill in some billing and shipping information, select a payment method and then place the order. The whole order process can be represented as:
Add to Cart -> Process Checkout (Billing/Shipping/Payment) -> Place Order
Once the order is placed, it will show up as pending in the Magento admin area > Sales > Orders. In the next section we'll explain how to manage these orders.
