Common order statuses
While you can use any status labels that work for your business, common statuses include:Updating order status
You can update an order’s status at any time to reflect its current state. This helps:- Keep customers informed about their order progress
- Coordinate with your team on fulfillment tasks
- Track order completion rates
- Identify bottlenecks in your process
Status updates are visible to customers, so they can see where their order is in the fulfillment process.
Order notes
In addition to status, you can add notes to orders for internal tracking. Notes are only visible to your team, not to customers. Use notes to:- Record special handling requirements
- Track issues or delays
- Add reminders for fulfillment
- Keep internal communication about the order
