How to use the Orders section in LaunchMyStore

The Orders section is mission control for everything that happens after a customer checks out. From here you can review incoming orders, accept or reject them, mark them as shipped or delivered, edit details, export reports, and search through your entire order history. This guide walks through the most common actions.

Open the Orders section

Click Orders in the left sidebar of your admin. You will see a list of every order placed in your store, newest first. Each row shows the order number, customer, date, payment status, status, and total.

Search and filter

Use the top search bar to find a specific order by:

  • Order number

  • Customer name

  • Tracking number or shipping partner

Use filters to narrow your list by:

  • Payments — Paid orders, Unpaid orders, COD orders, Prepaid orders

  • Channel — Online orders or Manual orders

  • Amount — less than, greater than, equal to, or between two values

  • Quantity — less than, greater than, equal to, or between two values

  • Date range — Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last 7 Days, This Month, Last Month, or a custom range

You can also sort the list by created or modified date, item count, or amount (high to low / low to high).

What it means

Pending

Order placed but not yet accepted or paid (e.g. waiting on COD confirmation or manual review)

Order detail page

Click any order to open its detail page. You can:

  • See line items, quantities, prices, taxes, discounts, and totals

  • Accept or reject a new order awaiting confirmation

  • Ship the order and add a tracking number and carrier, then notify the customer

  • Create additional shipments for multi-package orders

  • Mark as delivered once the order arrives

  • Cancel with optional inventory restock

  • Add notes for your team

  • See the status tracking for the order's progress

  • Delete an order once it reaches a terminal state (delivered, cancelled, or returned)

Export reports

Click Export Details to download your orders as CSV or XLSX (Excel). Choose a date range before exporting. Use exports for accounting reconciliation, shipping spreadsheets, or migrations.

Bulk actions

Turn on Bulk Action to select multiple orders with the checkboxes, then delete the selected orders in one step. You can also export your orders from the toolbar at any time.

Create an order manually

Need to place an order on a customer's behalf — for over-the-phone sales or in-person requests? Click Create Order from the Orders toolbar. Add the products (with variants and quantities), choose or add the customer's details, set delivery charges and any discount, pick a payment method (Cash on Delivery or Prepaid), and click Create Order. The order is created right away and a confirmation message is sent to the customer.

FAQ

How do I send a tracking number to the customer?

On the order detail page, ship the order, then add the tracking number and carrier. The customer gets a shipping confirmation with the tracking details.

What happens to inventory when I cancel an order?

When cancelling, you can choose to restock inventory so the items become available for sale again.

Can I refund an order?

Yes. Refunds are supported, and refunded orders are marked with the Refunded status so your records and reports stay accurate.

How do I see orders placed in person?

In-person (POS) orders appear in the same Orders list alongside your online orders. Use the Channel filter to separate Online orders from Manual orders, or search for a specific order by its order number.
