Searching and filtering orders
All orders in your store appear on the Orders page. By default, they are organized from newest to oldest. You can filter orders to quickly find specific ones such as pre-orders or orders ready to be shipped. You can also search orders by keywords such as product names, SKU, customer emails, etc.
Filtering orders
On the Orders page, you can use a variety of filters to choose what orders to display and perform bulk actions on multiple orders. To reuse filters or filter combinations, create custom filters.
You can filter your orders by:
- Date
- Payment status
- Fulfillment status
- Payment method
- Shipping method or carrier
- Pickup or delivery date and time
- Products
- Having pre-orders
- Having tracking number (in the Ecwid mobile app only)
- Having a particular discount coupons (in the Ecwid mobile app only)
- Having a discount (in the Ecwid mobile app only)
- Having tips (in the Ecwid mobile app only)
- Having customer comments or staff notes (in the Ecwid mobile app only)
Let’s say you want to start preparing paid orders for the delivery. In this case, you need to apply multiple filters at once to narrow your search: both for a payment status and shipping method.

- In the Advanced filters, you can specify filtering tags to narrow your search. E.g., find orders with a particular discount coupon.
