Is it possible to add 'keep order open' as a status on order screen..
As a reminder that the customer doesn't want an invoice yet?

Simply adding it to the drop down list for manual use would be good, but adding
automatic functionality and a button at the buyers end to request an invoice
would be ideal.

Voted yes, this has been suggested before but if we are going to have auto-checkout
at some point (??) we would need to have this status offered at checkout anyway?


Ideally I would like this linked to store terms, set by the seller. e.g. if I
offer orders open for up to 5 days I would like the system to allow that and
"close" the order to additions after that unless over-ridden by myself - i.e.
buyer has to communicate with me to agree any extension, not be just able to
add $1 in parts every 7 days in an attempt to over-ride store terms (doesn't
happen often but there are some out there).

Or more generally an "awaiting buyer action" kind of status. I have suggested
that before. Sometimes a seller has a question about an order and the buyer doesn't
notice it or there's a problem with emails, and both parties are waiting.
It would be good to have a status that clearly indicates that the ball is in
the buyer's court, whether that be to add more items to an order, answer
a question, or whatever.

Keep it 'Pending'.

When should that 'Invoice me please'-button appear?
