Topic summary
Users are seeking the ability to manually backdate orders in Shopify, particularly for manual orders and POS transactions that were missed or need to be recorded at earlier dates for accurate accounting and reconciliation.
Current Limitations:
- Shopify does not natively support editing order dates
- Even third-party order editing apps like “Edit Order by Cleverific” cannot change order dates
- Shopify support indicated insufficient user interest for developers to prioritize this feature
Proposed Solutions:
Several third-party apps have been suggested:
- Editify - Allows backdating orders (mentioned by multiple users with video demonstration)
- AirPower - Enables creating/updating draft orders from Airtable with custom dates
- RETROORDER - Reported as free option for backdating
Ongoing Issues:
- Users remain frustrated that this isn’t a native feature, citing added costs and complexity of apps
- Some apps don’t allow editing fulfillment dates, leaving reporting inaccurate
- Importing historical orders creates them with current dates, not original dates
Status: The discussion remains open with no native solution. Multiple users have requested Shopify add this as a built-in feature for better accounting accuracy and record-keeping.
