Learning how to process and manage orders when they come through is incredibly important, so we’ve made it as simple as possible. This guide will show you how to process and manage your orders as they appear.
To view and manage your orders, take the following steps:
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to Orderable > Live Order View.
- This will then take you to a page that shows all your store’s orders. Here you’ll be able to see everything from the order number and customer name, to the type of service (Delivery or Pickup), the order status and of course, the selected delivery/pickup time slots.
- To manage each individual order, click the eye icon in the table. This will open a popup containing the order information. At the bottom left you’ll see some options.

The Live Order View allows you to filter orders by the due date, pickup, delivery, and more. Just select the options you want to see above the table to make managing your orders, easier.
