Order Management
Order Management allows administrators to view customer orders, search orders, update order status, manage tracking numbers, process item cancellation or refund requests, and manage shipment records.
Orders are the final result of the customer checkout process. Use this screen carefully because changes to order status, refunds, cancellations, and shipment information may directly affect customer communication and fulfillment.
Overview
The Order Management screen is divided into two major areas: the order list and the order detail screen. The order list is used to search and review orders, while the order detail screen is used to manage items, shipments, order status, tracking number, internal notes, and totals.
