Limitations of Magento 2 Default

Magento 2 is an amalgamation of advanced technology into the eCommerce industry. The benefits this platform brings back to modern retailers are undeniable.

Some of them are:

On the Order Grid of Magento 2 Default doesn’t offer enough spaces for illustrating order specifications as store admins can’t create more columns at the order grid
Store admins can’t add notes, flags, or images on the grid content, which leading the possibility of missing urgent orders

The Mageplaza Order Labels is designed to resolve all these limitations so that store admins can have better visibility of each order on the Order Grid. Read on to understand how this extension works.

Why choose Mageplaza Order Labels for Magento 2?

Thanks to these extra columns and the availability of adding order labels, store admins can save a significant amount of time to view and monitor all the order information more efficiently.

Auto-assign labels for orders by conditions
