Hello, I'm wondering how others keep an eye out for incoming orders. Having to constantly check the inbox is a big pain point for us. I'm working on a solution that will alert the people near the PC used for PrestaShop operations that a new order email or an email connected to a new order is waiting to be acted on. This PC is located behind the counter of a retail store. The prototype right now is visual only, as the merchant does not want an audio alert. An LED that can be positioned conveniently near the PC will flash until someone attends to the email. Anyone have a good solution already? Thanks, Hugh

One option is to forget about having PrestaShop track stock levels. With our physical store that also sells online we've been doing okay offering a limited inventory on PrestaShop, that we manually adjust when something runs out by disabling the product. The bulk of our business is in-store, so the amount of online orders isn't overwhelming. If you want to start out small this might work for you.
