Here you will find 3 sections(tabs), each section configures different things for the module.

After first time install! Sync orders

**MUST** When you install the module for the first time it is essential to configure the module first correctly and then use it!

There are two actions that must be made before using it.

1. from the configuration page of the module click on the VOUCHER SETTINGS and then choose the cach on delivery modules that you have installed on your prestashop. With ctrl pressed you can choose more than one if you are using multiple COD modules. This is crutial as it will help the module understand when an order is cash on delivery and mark it as cash on delivery in the voucher.
2. After you save the cash on delivery modules. Click on the Initiate Sync button from the Syncronize Orders section and wait untill the bar is full. This action will create all the data on the myelta table that is needed for the module to be function properly, this is also required for the orders to appear at the myelta vouchers tab table. New orders will be recorded automatically this is required to be done only one time or when orders are missing.

Configuration Section I: Credentials and sync

All the credentials are give from Elta, you will have to ask for access at their web services.

Username password and client code are all required! Sub code is not mandatory, it will be given to you by elta if it is usefull.

Finally environment is for you to choose. DEV is for tests. Live is for the live production environment.

Configuration Section II: Voucher Settings

The first option here is to show within the order page the MyElta Section so you can create vouchers from with in the order or cancel them etc. If you dont want this section and you only want to use the myelta table for mass prints choose NO to hide it, however keep in mind that this section is particually usefull even if you print from the table because it also shows data like the voucher number track etc.

Shop name, address, city, postcode and telephone are the data of your shop that you want to be shown at the voucher, you can leave them blank and voucher will fill this from the data that Elta has for you.

Print size is for you to choose if you want to be A4 or A6.

Cash on delivery option is the most crutial option. Helps the module understand according to the payment method of the order and what you choose when to characterise a voucher as cach on delivery. So choose all your cash on delivery modules that your prestashop has installed, with ctrl pressed you can choose more than one.

Send email when voucher is printed will send an email to the customer with the voucher number and a track link.

Choose an Order Status if you want to send an email when the order is changing on this status. This option is when you want to send the email with the voucher number and tracking link to the custom when you change the order status at the one you choose. Choose **NONE** to not use it

Choose carriers to show printing functions. This option might come in handy and help you a lot. Actually you choose carriers. Only the orders that has one of the carriers that you choose will be shown at the MyElta Vouchers tab table and with in the order will show the myelta print options. In other words you characterized with orders are with Elta and the module filters them for you. Leave blank to show all the orders and show the print options to all the orders.

Finally choose if you want to change the order status automatically when a voucher is printed. Choose **NONE** to not use it

Configuration Section III: CRON Settings

First of all you hae to create a CRON task to your server.

For CPANEL read here 

For Plesk read here

Copy the Cronjob command that in the configuration page of the module is shown with in a red container.

CRON settings tab have all the options that you will choose on what functions will the cron job do.

The first option is to choose which orders you want to track. Choose the order states to narrow down the orders you want to track and trace, the less states you choose the fastest process will be. If you do not choose any of them all order states will be aplied.

Then next is to filter witch orders to track according to carrier. Choose the carriers that the order must have to narrow down the orders you want to track and trace, the less carriers you choose the fastest process will be. If you do not choose any of them all carriers will be aplied.

These two first options are crutial to be corectly set up so to avoid Timeout Errors.

Next option is to help the module characterise an order as late. For example lets say that you enter 4. In an order on the 5th day is tracked and still has the status undelivered from Elta the module will mark it as late. It will mark it as late by changing the order status. On the next option you choose that order status that you wish the module to change the late orders.
