Manage Square Online Orders

When working with orders from Square Online, you can change the status for the entire order, or for individual items within the order. The actions you can take vary by item type and order status. To start:

  1. Go to your Square Online Overview page, and select Orders.

  2. Filter orders by status using the dropdown menu, or use the search option to locate a specific order. Sort by order or fulfillment date for even more targeted results.

  3. Select the order you want to work with.

The available actions will be shown at the top right of the order details page. Below the order details, you can see the billing and fulfillment information, as well as a list of all transactions completed for this order.

Tip: You can filter orders by status using the dropdown menu, or use the search option to locate a specific order.
