Payment Method Filter:
Benefit:

Easier Order Management: Helps users or administrators quickly isolate orders based on the payment method used (e.g., Credit Card, PayPal, etc.), making it easier to handle payments, refunds, or customer support.

Improved Reporting: Provides the ability to generate reports or analytics on orders based on specific payment methods, helping to identify trends or issues related to certain payment options.

Efficiency: Saves time by narrowing down the list of orders to those that were paid through a particular method, simplifying the workflow for managing orders.

Shipping Method Filter:
Benefit:

Faster Shipping Management: Allows users to quickly find orders associated with specific shipping methods, making it easier to track deliveries and handle customer inquiries related to shipping.

Optimization: Helps identify which shipping methods are being used most frequently, enabling better optimization of logistics and shipping provider selection.

Enhanced Customer Service: By filtering orders based on shipping methods, it becomes easier to address issues like delayed or incorrect shipments, improving customer satisfaction.

Combined Benefit:

When both filters are used together, they enhance overall order management efficiency by streamlining the process of sorting, tracking, and handling orders based on both payment and shipping criteria. This can lead to a better user experience, more informed decision-making, and improved operational workflows.
