I sell items on a 15 day leadtime and would like to be able to manually change the status of each order to reflect what the progress is during the 15 days.
The orders are processed, in transit from supplier, in customs and then getting ready for despatch.
Is there a way to manually change this on each order?
A flow wouldnt work as sometimes the items are longer in customs or take longer to receive from supplier etc so Im looking for a way to enter these updates manually.
I can definitely understand the value of having additional order statuses available, especially with the processing flow you described.
At this time Shopify’s order and payment statuses are limited to the ones you are currently seeing in your admin when reviewing your orders. You can also review information about order, fulfillment and payment statuses in our Help Center here: Order status · Shopify Help Center.
I really appreciate your feedback on this topic though and I will be sharing that with our developers directly.
This may be something that could be supported through a custom built app for your store, but not something that can be done with the standard Shopify experience at this time.
Right now your order statuses that are available are the ones that are noted in the Help Center document I linked above.
