Advice regarding "order status" and "download order status"

[buddahboy]

Does "order status" on system > settings > checkout  need to be the same as  "Download Order Status" in system > settings > general  in order to ensure that digital products are available immediately after payment?  I do require that digital goods be available right away but of course the tangible goods will ship. 

Hope this question is clear. 

Thanks much

Yeah, if you need the downloads to be available right away. You could set both to Pending or Processing, so when an order is processed, the default order status will match "Download Order Status" (or adjust the most appropriate order status name to your liking at System > Localisation >Orders Statuses).

THVY - it only made sense - after doing all the fine tuning settings on my dev site sometimes I forget what the heck I did already and what not!  Thanks again junkyard

All the best
