You will have recorded that an order has gone out.
Before you start
You need permission to manage orders. Mark it shipped only after payment is settled.
Steps
- Open Store → Orders.
- On the order's row, use the status dropdown and choose Shipped (or do the same on the order page).
What you will see
"Order status updated." If the order was Paid, Completed or Processing, products tracked by the Inventory plugin have their reserved stock committed at cost, and the customer is sent the shipped text when order SMS is on.
If something goes wrong
- From Pending, On Hold, Failed or Cancelled, only the label changes: no stock commit and no text.
- Processing includes an unpaid gateway checkout, so check the order is really paid before shipping.
- No email is sent for shipping, and there is no tracking-number field or Delivered status; send tracking details with Note to Customer (an in-app message) or your own channel.
- The change applies at once, with no confirmation.
