The Orders tab contains all the order transactions that have gone through the store. By default, only Paid orders will appear. But users can browse through the 'Standard Searches' to view other order status types.
Clicking the @ sign next to the customer’s name allows you to email the customer.
Clicking the gear icon next to payment type and then ‘View’ allows you to review a specific order.
When there are more orders, you can use the search function to search for a particular customer or use Advanced search to narrow down your search parameters even further.
Reviewing an order
Click on the order number and you will see the purchase information including products, shipping, payment, and customer information.

Add a product(s) by clicking in the search bar which will reveal the available products.
NOTE: if you have a product with different options, such as an Ad, then you will need to click on the list icon and select the appropriate option.
Or click on the hamburger menu (3 horizontal lines) to do an advanced search. You can select the desired options for products that have that available i.e., Ads, select quantity and add personalization information (if applicable). Then select Add products and close.

Search for an order
Use the search function to search for a particular order by customer name, email, or phone number.
To narrow your search parameters further, you can use Advanced search. If you or the customer knows their order ID, this is where you would enter that information.
