Holding Suspicious Orders in Magento


hold bad magento orders



If you know anything about what we do, it will be that we like to automate. We like tying systems together to automate work-flow, eliminating as many manual data entry tasks as possible. Sometimes though it is good to do things manually.

If you are not lucky enough to have automatic fraud detection on your Magento website and want to catch suspicious or bad orders in Magento, then our automatic On Hold extension for Magento may help. Here's how it works...

(Depending on your extension preferences) When an order is received, if the shipping and billing address do not match or if the total order value is greater than a set threshold, the Magento order is set to On Hold, flagging the order for manual investigation and or processing.

Junior Developer Opportunity

We have a vacancy for a Junior web developer to join us, based in Bristol.

What you'll definitely need:

  • Some HTML/CSS/JS
  • A logical mind with an eye for detail
  • Able and willing to solve problems on your own
  • A seriously unhealthy interest in internet technologies
  • A working knowledge of common web technologies such as Apache, PHP, MySQL, Ajax, XML, FTP, SSH and so forth
  • Experience with atleast one PHP framework
  • Previous experience writing PHP. Hobby projects are enough proof for us
  • Self motivated quick learner

It would be awesome if you have:

  • CakePHP framework experience (a real jaw dropper this one)
  • HTML5 experience
  • Linux skills
  • Experience of working with 3rd party APIs.
  • Git/Version control
  • Magento experience
  • A real interest in gaining commercial development experience

What will you be doing?
Initially working on a project by project basis; you will be given a(relatively simple) project to complete using CakePHP. Although we will provide you help and code reviews, it will be your project to complete.

If you can do any of the following, we might employ you and pretend we know what they mean:
Administration of Linux without a GUI or any LAMP experience in general. Use of common Linux editors are always handy:VI, VIM, PICO etc.
Able to produce valid clean HTML, understanding that to make valid HTML does not require 30 different variant CSS files, or the most bizarre z-index minus percent floating inline margins known to man (although...)
Ajax, we like the Ajax, also we've got a sneaky love for Python
Experience of: Magento, Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress , or the next big thing (no it's not Googlewave)
CakePHP, Zend, Symfony, any other PHP framework

Whilst we appreciate ingenuity, we don't want people claiming they can do things they can't; don't pretend, we're not as stupid as we may seem. Claiming you can turn HTML into beer will just be disappointing for all. Equally claiming you know more than you do, wont help anybody either. At the end of the day, we're after somebody full of tenacity, who's a little bit addicted to the internet, specifically web development.

If you think web development sounds cool, because you once saw a web developer driving one of those white audi A3s and a pair of cool thick rimmed glasses, then please don't bother to apply.

On the other hand, if you like the idea of getting greasy with some PHP, and perhaps bake a cake then please apply !

When where and how ?

You'll be working in our little office in St George, BS5.
Although you'll have remote access to your development platform and will have the opportunity to work remotely 1 day a week, you'll be required to be in the office 4 days a week initially.

So....Time To Inject Your CV into our Data Feed
It's O.K, plenty of time for that.
Meanwhile, email a copy of your CV with a cover letter to jobs a~t madcapsule.co.uk (Please feel free to include commercial or hobby examples of your work and your desired salary).

Announcing: Royal Mail Despatch Express Magento Integration

Magento and Royal Mail

We are pleased to announce the release of our latest shipping manifest automation extension, Royal Mail Despatch Express for Magento.

Our shipping extensions help store owners reduce the amount of time they spend shipping their orders and automatically print hundreds of labels each day. Our first automated shipping extension for Magento was UKMail, followed by our DPD and Interlink extensions which are now the only Geopost approved UK DPD and Interlink extensions for Magento.

After requests for a Royal Mail Despatch Express Magento extension, we started to develop our latest extension. Now released for public use.

Our Royal Mail Despatch Express Magento extension allows you to automatically print shipping labels to your Royal Mail label printers, retrieve tracking information back from Despatch Express into Magento and email it out to your customers automatically, using your own branded Magento email templates.

Additionally, our Royal Mail Consignment Recovery Console (screen shot below) allows you to see messages sent back from Despatch Express direct from your Magento admin panel, such as "Label printed" or "Label printer out of paper". It is also possible to cancel labels and re-print labels all from within your Magento admin panel.

Royal Mail Magento Consignment Console

Other features include: Print labels on remote networked printers, overwrite shipment weight per shipment, fully compatible with Magento's native shipping pricing matrix aswell as the most popular third party shipping price matrices.

A full list of features can be found on the extension page here and a Live Demo can be found here.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
