How To Collaborate With Your Team Online From Your Website?

Leave a comment

Business communication is a critical requirement that can be effectively managed online from within your WordPress site. If you have a WordPress Website or running an online store with WordPress Ecommerce, you can easily set up an internal communication system to talk to your team and collaborate with them online from your home.

As discussed, you can establish async communication with your customers simply by blogging your business and interacting with them from the comment section after every blog post on your website, this works for public interactions. Apart from this, you can also share private blog posts only visible to your team members to establish internal communication within your website.

Share Private Blog Posts For Internal Communication

This can be done by visiting the ‘Add New’ post screen from the admin panel of your WordPress site, switching to the ‘Document’ menu on the right side followed by clicking ‘Visibility’ under the ‘Status & Visibility’ section. Here you can either set the post to private i.e. visible only to site members or password protected.

Asynchronous communication is the best way of managing your team on the remote. As that doesn’t require both parties to be present online at the same time. A Private & Protected blog post is another example of this. By sharing private posts you can start private discussions between your team members, assign tasks to them, send updates, and make your people focus on given tasks.

Establish A Dedicated Online Communication System

This is another option that can be implemented either by starting a new WordPress site for internal communications or a subdomain-subdirectory based WordPress installation to work on side of your main website.

Once you are subscribed to Managed WordPress or have installed it manually on a subdomain of your website then simply log in to the admin panel to install-activate the P2 theme. Once the theme is activated, you can add new members on your website by visiting Users -> Add New page.

P2 theme transforms any WordPress site into a frontend based live discussion platform as shown in the given screenshot

The theme is installed, users are added, now visit the front-end of your website for posting and interacting with your team members. You may visit Make WordPress Core to see how a P2 implemented remote working system looks like.

Live discussions over the P2 theme are dynamic enough to manage all small and big interactions with your team from within your WordPress site.

Blog Your Business To Establish Async Communication & Rely Less On People

Leave a comment

Asynchronous communication, also known as async communication is a communication that doesn’t require people to be present on any side at the time of carrying out discussions which can be customer support, inquiry, or any other type of online conversation.

An email is an old example of async communication whereas video calls and phone calls are not asynchronous, they are called synchronous as they require both parties to be present on phone at the same time.

Async communication is better as it can work across numerous timezones and it promotes writing which is open for anyone searching for it to read, plus it empowers people to continue any discussion by adding anything useful or posting a new question.

Async Communication For Consumer Support

When you register your domain name, subscribe to Managed WordPress to start blogging your business, the readers i.e. your prospects may start a conversation simply by commenting on your blog post. You can resolve their queries by replying to them, and others may also add their value to it. Such conversations always remain visible online after your blog posts (until you delete them) and are helpful for others facing similar issues or having the same queries.

An screenshot showing WPDiscuz comment form

It helps you to establish a system and rely less on people as you don’t need a 24hour working helping or subscribe to a customer support service. There are many startups that don’t provide phone-based customer support. Instead, they use a mechanism of async communication and they are successful.

Async Communication Remains Available For Others To Read

The comments on your blog posts remain available for others to read. Suppose you have shared a blog post on a new project, product or service, and carried out all your important discussions on your post itself. The good thing is, it will always remain available on your website and when someone new joins your team, he can easily know all your thoughts and decisions regarding that project simply by reading your post and the discussion after it.

An screenshot showing an example of WPDiscuz on-site conversations

And the best thing is it can be edited from the admin panel of your WordPress site, you can update post, your thoughts on comments and everything else as per your present time requirement.

Blogging Is Best Form Of Async Communication

Other systems such as email, document sharing, and social media posts can also be called asynchronous but their biggest limitation is that they are not open to the public, anyone searching for similar issues on Google will not be able to see the conversations which you are running on some other website. As a blogger, your main objective is to bring people on your website so that they can view your services and products. So that you can make offers. So that you can earn money by using some cost per click program such as Google Adsense.

How To Blog Your Business?

Simply register your domain name, subscribe to Managed WordPress or WordPress Ecommerce (if you are in the selling business) to start blogging your business on your domain. Moreover, you may also make use of WordPress to help other businesses come online and build a second source of income for yourself as a people’s personal outlet.

The steps are the same both for automatic and manual refund options, the working of refund options depends on what payment gateways you are using on your website.

To refund an order, simply login to your WordPress Ecommerce website and follow the given steps:

  1. Navigate to WooCommerce -> Orders page and select the order to refund.
  2. Open order summary, and select the ‘Refund’ option.
  3. Specify the quantity of the products to be refunded in the given text boxes, use each line for an item.
  4. The refund amount will be automatically adjusted on the basis of the products refunded. If in case inventory levels are not managed, you can also enter the Refund amount, without adjusting the product quantity.
  5. If the quantities of items are not set when issuing a refund then the order is not marked as refunded and the email that is sent will say “partial refund.”
  6. You may optionally add refund notes.
  7. Finally, select “Refund $XX.XX manually” (For Manual Refund) OR “Refund $XX.XX via [your gateway]” (For Automatic Refund).

Approve Or Reject Orders Before Payment Is Made In WordPress Ecommerce

Leave a comment

Instead of first receiving and then refunding the amount on orders which you cannot fulfill, you can follow a policy of first approving or disapproving the orders and then allowing your customers to complete the payment process on your WordPress Ecommerce website.

The feature is very useful for small business owners such as local grocery and departmental stores, especially during this time of pandemic when they quickly run out of stock and new stock takes more than usual time to come.

How To Approve or Reject Orders?

Simply install and activate the new WooCommerce plugin, Order Approval for WooCommerce on your WordPress site. Once the plugin is activated, move to your admin area dashboard WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payments Tab and turn on WooCommerce Order Approval.

This will enable you to manually approve orders made by customers on your eCommerce website.

How WooCommerce Order Approval Works?

  1. The customer places an order on your website
  2. The order is taken as a request and no payment is processed.
  3. Shop owner manually approves or rejects the order and the customer is automatically notified via email
  4. On approved orders payment link is sent to the customer whereas, on rejected orders, a cancellation mail is sent

Hence, your customer would be able to preorder things on your website and when their orders are approved, they will receive a payment link to complete their purchase. Currently, the plugin works with all default payment gateways of WooCommerce, there are no complex settings.
