Order List
In the Orders section, you will see the Order list. Order information will be displayed except for Unpaid Online Payment Orders (which are archived by default).
For unpaid online payment orders, you can view them in the Abandoned Orders section and send recall notices to buyers. Learn more about Abandoned Checkouts.
Order filtering
In the drop-down filter, you can use the search bar above the order list to filter orders by customer name, email, address, order number, order status, tag, SKU, and more.
For example, you need to view all orders placed with a specific email address:
- From your SHOPLINE admin, go to Orders
- Enter the email of the customer whose order you want to find:
-
You will be able to view all orders placed by this customer:
- You can apply multiple filters at once to narrow down further the orders displayed in your list. For example, if you want to see orders placed by a particular customer that has not yet been paid for, click Payment status and select Unpaid.
-
For more focused filtering, you can use the "more filters" button.
