What are the different order statuses?
Following are the order statuses available for selection while editing an order. When customer places the order, the order will be in “Order Received” status. Customer can cancel the order anytime before the order status is changed to “Preparing”.
- Order Received – This is the default status when the order is placed. Customer can cancel the order as long as it is in this status.
- Preparing – Once the order status is changed to preparing, customer won’t have an option to cancel the order. Change to this status once you start preparing the order.
- Ready – Once the order is ready and packaged, then change the status to this.
- On the way – When the order is on the way, change the status to this. For domestic & international shipping orders, when the order status is changed to “On the way”, it will ask for the tracking number & carrier (courier).

- Delivered – For pickup & door delivery orders, mark the order delivered manually. For domestic & international shipping orders, once the correct tracking number & carrier (courier) is entered on the order, the order will automatically update to delivered status. Both customer & seller will receive notifications on the app once delivered.
