Display the App Name in the Product/Order history so users know the App that made these modifications #7

Currently we need to append to order notes with the App name so users know It was us that created the order / modified the product etc etc. Would be nice to have the App name instead of the user that Auth'd the App

Also if you want to be absolute legends! Give the option for a "see more" url link that we can optionally provide

As things stand right now, this wouldn't work too well. The user attribution on sales is used to calculate sales against a user's monthly target so attributing it to an app would break that assumption. Fortunately, we have a few ideas about a generic way of attributing all kinds of events to actors that performed them.

What about that badge you guys used for xero and shopify orders? If we could define a title, hex color and url (so they can click it for more info) that would be super helpful.

While this is a theoretical possibility it wouldn't be as easy as just exposing the same thing that the Xero and Shopify badges are using. Both of those integrations have been created by us and they are tightly coupled with the core of our product. These are not things that can be easily exposed. However, we have a couple of ideas for the future that may help with this.

Another solution might be to provide a free (app only) user to the customer that avoids any extra payments with their current pricing plan. So we can just use that when creating orders. This makes a lot more sense because our app will be throwing out monthly targets if it is pushing online orders through a real user.

We haven't had anyone complain about targets yet, but I suspect someone will ping us in the coming months
