How to fulfil an order from new to delivered

Walk an order through Confirm → Shipped → Out for delivery → Delivered, mark COD/manual orders as paid, add a tracking link, and contact the customer.

Every order lands in the Orders tab (and you get an email). Here's the full lifecycle — open an order to see its items, the customer's details, and the status controls.

Click an order to open it — status, payment and customer details are all here.

Online (Razorpay) orders show ✓ Paid via Razorpay automatically — nothing to do. For COD or manual UPI orders, once you've actually received the money, click Mark as paid in the order.

Step 2 — Walk it through the stages

Use the status buttons to move the order forward. Each tap advances it one stage:

  • Confirm — you've accepted the order (Pending → Confirmed).
  • Mark shipped — you've dispatched it (Confirmed → Shipped). You can add a tracking link and a short note here.
  • Out for delivery — it's on the way (Shipped → Out for Delivery).
  • Mark delivered — done (→ Completed).

Need to jump straight to a status or add a comment/tracking link at any stage? Use More options in the status panel to set any status with a note. To stop an order, set it to Cancelled.

Step 3 — Keep the customer in the loop

Inside the order you'll find one-tap WhatsApp, phone and email buttons, plus a copy button for the delivery address. Add a tracking link when you mark it shipped so the customer can follow it from your storefront's Track Order page.

Step 4 — Tidy up

When an order is finished, Archive it to keep your live list clean (you can switch to archived orders anytime, or unarchive). Delete removes it permanently — that can't be undone.

Want courier automation?

Connect Shiprocket (Settings → Integrations) to auto-push confirmed orders, generate labels, and pull in live tracking. Self-shipping works perfectly without it — see Manage orders & shipments.
