Archive Shopify Orders in Bulk
Archive many orders at once by applying the action = CANCEL via CSV/Excel and DataEase. (In this workflow, canceling an order archives it.)
Steps:
1. Export orders
In DataEase, create a New Export → Orders. Include at least: id, name (order number), financialStatus, fulfillmentStatus. Apply filters to target the right set (e.g., Unfulfilled, Unpaid, Date range).
2. Prepare the file
Keep only orders you want to archive. Add the column action and set it to CANCEL for those rows.
3. Import & validate
In DataEase, create a New Import → Orders, upload the file, map columns, and run Validation. Check the “Validation Status” column and fix any issues.
4. Run the import
After completion, download the results and confirm the selected orders are archived.
Tips
- Shopify doesn’t support deleting orders; use CANCEL to archive in this flow.
- Cancellation is typically irreversible; review your policies for refunds, restocking, and notifications before running the job.
- Matching: prefer Order ID; order number (name) is secondary and may not be unique.
Minimal CSV (example)
| id | action |
|---|---|
| 123 | CANCEL |
