Searching and viewing orders
By default, all your orders are displayed on the Orders page. You can customize your order views or create new views that include the filters, sorting, and column arrangements that help you quickly access and prioritize groups of orders in the future.

Viewing details from the orders list
When you click parts of the orders list, you can quickly view order details in pop-ups.
Pop-ups are available for the following columns:
- Customer
- Items
- Destination
For example, you can click a customer's name for information such as customer location, number of orders, and contact information.
The icons beside your order numbers also provide extra information. For example, you can tell when there are notes or comments on the order, or when the order is at high risk of fraud. Hover your cursor over an icon to open the pop-up.
Filtering orders
From your Shopify admin, you can use different types of filters to change which orders are displayed, and to perform bulk actions on multiple orders. You can also filter your orders using a custom search. To reuse filters or filter combinations, save them as order views.
You can do the following with order filters:
- Filter your orders
- Filter by location
- Filter with a custom term
- Use bulk actions with a view or filter
- Match third-party payment information with Shopify orders
Filter your orders
Filters determine which orders are displayed in an order view. For example, the All view has no filters. The default Unfulfilled view uses the Fullfillment status filter with a value of unfulfilled to display all of your store’s unfulfilled orders.
When you select filters, you can also combine them to display orders that match multiple criteria. For example, you can combine the Low risk and Unpaid filters to view a list of your store's orders that are both low risk and unpaid.
You can use the following filters on your order list:
- Delivery Method: local delivery, pickup in store, ship to customer
- Destination: continent, country, and state/province that an order is shipped to
- Status: open, archived, canceled
- Payment status: authorized, paid, partially paid, partially refunded, pending, refunded, unpaid, voided
- Product: filter by product title or SKU
- Fulfillment status: fulfilled, unfulfilled, partially fulfilled, scheduled, on hold
- Delivery status: in transit, out for delivery, attempted delivery, delayed, failed delivery, delivered, tracking added, no status

- Not tagged with: filter orders that have not been tagged with a custom order tag
- App: filter orders by app

- Risk level: high, medium, low

Match third-party payment information with Shopify orders
When a charge, refund or capture occurs on your Shopify store, a payment ID is sent to your payment provider. If your payment provider records and uses this payment ID, then you can use this payment ID to search for the order within your Shopify account. If your payment provider doesn't record or use this payment ID, then contact your payment provider for the best way to match orders on Shopify to their order records.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Orders.

Order views
An order view is a customized view of your orders based on criteria that you set up to help you complete a task more efficiently. Order views are created with saved filters, column choices, column order, and sort order. Order views are displayed as tabs on the top of the Orders page. You can customize order views, and create, rename, or delete views. When you create a new order view, it's added as a new tab on the Orders page.
The following order views are the default views:
- All
- Unfulfilled
- Unpaid
- Open
- Closed
- Local Delivery is also displayed if Locations is activated for your store.
In any order view except All, you can make the following changes and save them to the current view or save them as a new view:
- select filters
- display or hide columns
- reorder columns
- select the sorting criteria and sorting order
- filter with a custom search term
- rename the view
- delete the view
Although you can't change or delete the All view, you can create a new view that is based on the All view.
The orders included in saved views are updated automatically. For example, if you saved a filter for Paid orders, then any orders that become paid are added to that order view automatically.
