Orders
Find an order, understand its payment and fulfillment states, and use only the actions its current state allows.
Use Orders to follow each purchase from placement through payment, fulfillment, shipment, delivery, refund, or cancellation.
Why and when to use Orders
Open an order when you need to confirm what the customer bought, check addresses and totals, understand payment or fulfillment progress, or perform an available next action. The visible controls depend on the order, connected services, and earlier actions.
Availability and prerequisites
- Orders appear after customers place them. No orders yet is normal for a new store.
- Payment controls require a compatible payment state and connected provider.
- Fulfillment controls require fulfillable items and can depend on shipping or supplier services.
- Booking sections appear only on orders that include supported booking items.
- Dropshipping status, refresh, and tracking appear only when the order has linked supplier fulfillment records.

Main controls
| Control | Why you use it | What happens when selected |
|---|---|---|
| Search orders... | Find a specific order | Filters the list using the entered order or customer information. |
| Refresh on the order list | Request current order data | Reloads the list and available booking or dropshipping status data. |
| Order row | Inspect one purchase | Opens Summary, customer, address, item, payment, fulfillment, activity, and conditional sections. |
| Copy address | Reuse a displayed address accurately | Copies that address to the clipboard. |
| Capture Payment | Capture an authorized payment | Opens a confirmation; confirming asks the connected service to capture it. |
| Refund (dialog: Refund Payment) | Return an eligible amount | Opens refund amount and optional note fields; success updates payment state. |
| Mark as Fulfilled | Fulfill all currently unfulfilled items | Submits the fulfillment immediately and updates the order after success. |
| Mark as Shipped | Record shipment progress | Requests carrier and optional tracking information, then updates fulfillment after success. |
| Mark as Delivered | Record delivery completion | Confirms the eligible fulfillment as delivered after success. |
| Cancel Fulfillment | Stop an eligible fulfillment | Opens a confirmation and updates that fulfillment if the request succeeds. |
| Cancel Order | Permanently cancel an eligible order | On desktop, opens an irreversible confirmation; all fulfillments must be canceled first. |
| Refresh Status | Check a linked dropshipping order | Requests the latest supplier status for that record. |
| Track Order | Open available supplier tracking | Opens tracking only when a usable tracking destination is present. |
| Booking actions | Update a supported confirmed booking | Mark Completed or Mark No Show appears only for an eligible booking state. |
Review an order safely
- Search for the order or select it from the list.
- Confirm the display ID, date, customer, items, totals, shipping address, and billing address.
- Read Payment and Fulfillment as separate states; one can progress without the other.
- Review Activity for earlier changes.
- If a booking or dropshipping section is present, review its separate status and details.
- When another person or external service may have changed the order, return to the list, select Refresh, and reopen the record before acting.
Perform a state-changing action
- Choose only an action shown for the current state. Mark as Fulfilled applies immediately to all unfulfilled items; other actions can open a confirmation or required fields.
- When a dialog appears, verify the order, item quantities, amount, carrier, or tracking information it shows.
- Submit or confirm once.
- Wait for the success message and updated state.
- Refresh before retrying. A timeout or loading indicator is not proof that the first request failed.
Understand common states
| Area | Example states | How to read them |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Awaiting payment, Authorized, Paid, Partially paid, Refunded, Partially refunded, Canceled, Requires action | Describes money movement, not shipment progress. |
| Fulfillment | Not fulfilled, Partially fulfilled, Fulfilled, Shipped, Partially shipped, Delivered, Partially delivered, Canceled | Describes preparation and delivery, not whether payment settled. |
| Booking | Confirmed, Completed, No Show, Canceled | Appears only for supported booking items. |
| Dropshipping | Pending creation, Created, Processing, Shipped, Delivered, Failed, Canceled, or other supplier states | Comes from a linked supplier record and may update separately from the store order. |
Limits and troubleshooting
- An action is missing: The order state, item type, provider, or your access does not currently allow it. Do not use a direct URL to bypass the missing control.
- Cancel Order is unavailable: This control is desktop-only and requires every fulfillment to be canceled first.
- An item refund is unavailable: Use only the refund method Runner exposes for the current order; do not assume every item supports direct refund.
- Status did not change: Wait for the confirmation, return to the order list, select Refresh, reopen the record, and check Activity before retrying.
- Dropshipping says Failed or has no order: Review the linked supplier details and connection before changing the store order.
- Order not found: Clear the search, verify the project, and check the order identifier.
