How to Change An Order's Status

VESYL’s Order Management tool is built for flexibility—so whether you’re rerouting an order, cleaning up your workflow, or managing edge cases, you can easily change an order’s status at any time.

Updating order statuses helps you:

  • Keep your fulfillment queue accurate and up to date
  • Visually separate orders by priority, progress, or special handling
  • Support operational processes like batch printing, exception management, and more

How to Change an Order’s Status

  1. Navigate to the Orders Page
    From the main VESYL dashboard, go to the Orders tab.
  2. Locate and Edit the Order
    Find the order you’d like to update. Click “Edit” to open the order drawer on the right side of your screen.
  3. Scroll to the “Change Status” Field
    In the order drawer, scroll down to the “Change Status” section.
  4. Select the New Status
    Choose the status you want to move the order into from the dropdown list.
    Available statuses may include:
    • New – Orders just imported or awaiting action
    • Ready to Ship – Orders ready for label creation
    • Shipped – For orders that have been fulfilled
    • On Hold – If action is paused due to stock or customer issues
    • Archived – For canceled, test, or completed orders no longer in the active workflow
  5. Click Save
    Be sure to hit Save to confirm the update.

Status changes take effect immediately and help drive automation rules, filter views, and batch actions across your workflow.

Pro Tip: Use Status + Tags for Smarter Order Management

Pairing order statuses with custom tags gives you powerful control over your workflow. For example:

  • Use the “On Hold” status and tag orders with “Awaiting Inventory”
  • Move urgent orders to “Ready to Ship” and tag them “Expedite”
  • Archive test orders and tag them “Internal Use”

VESYL makes it easy to filter and batch process based on both tags and statuses, helping your team stay organized at any scale.
