Custom application that adds functionality to existing Order view

[maxpagels]

Hello,

We would need support in our system to add memos for orders, a bit above what the custom fields provide now. One idea would be to use custom objects and extend the merchant center Order view to have e.g. a "Memos" tab. Is this possible with the application kit? It would be important from a UX perspective not to have to switch between a custom app and the built-in Order view in the merchant center.

Hello @maxpagels,

Thanks for reaching to us 👍

We're working on a new feature that we think could help with your use case. If you are interested, you can open a support request requesting for your organization to be added to this new feature private beta so we could share more information with you and grant you an early access.

@CarlosCortizasCT thanks, but we have a tight deadline and can't use a private beta product at this stage. I'm assuming this is not doable any other way?

[CarlosCortizasCT]

I'm sorry @maxpagels but I'm afraid we don't currently support that use case. That's why we started working in the new feature.

If it helps, the feature is stable and we plan to make it generally available soon.

As an alternative option, you could start with a Custom Application and move it to a Custom View once we officially release it. Technically they are very similarly developed and built so that a potential migration wouldn't be a big effort.

@emmenko that is exactly our plan, thanks!
