Managing Order Statuses

Learn how to manage order statuses in the Client Portal, including how default and custom statuses work and how they impact fulfillment operations.

Written by ShipTop

Order Statuses are used to group and organize orders based on operational workflows. They help your team identify how orders should be handled, prioritized, or processed within fulfillment.

In addition to standard system statuses, ShipTop uses custom statuses to support specific operational needs.

Important: Use Caution When Updating Statuses

Changing an order status can directly impact fulfillment workflows, including picking, packing, and processing queues.

*Do not change order statuses without prior communication with the ShipTop fulfillment operations team.

Default Order Statuses

ShipTop uses the standard system statuses, which control core fulfillment behavior:

  • Default / Pending – Order has been created and is awaiting processing

  • Unfulfilled – Order is ready to be fulfilled but not yet completed

  • Fulfilled – Order has been shipped and completed

  • Canceled – Order has been canceled and will not be processed

These statuses are essential to system functionality and should not be recreated or modified.


ShipTop Custom Statuses

ShipTop also uses additional custom statuses to support operational workflows:

  • Oversized – For large or bulky items requiring special handling

  • Rush Orders – For urgent orders that require expedited processing

Custom statuses allow orders to be grouped and handled differently based on operational needs.
