1. Open the order's Fulfilled card
2. Click Mark as delivered
3. Many orders? Do it in bulk from the Orders page
4. Keep delivery status accurate

Add to cart on your phone, check out on a laptop. The cart follows.
New from Shop for Shop users:
1. Carts sync across a shopper's devices
2. Shop app carts carry over to your store, and back
3. Shop reminds them to finish carts they left
4. One-tap sign-in, faster checkout
@soupy1x Glad it lines up better today. If one placement or audience keeps showing a big gap, that's usually where the junk traffic comes from. Worth trimming it before spend goes up for BFCM.

No third-party transaction fees on manual payments. Instructions show on the order confirmation page.
Festive orders are coming. Can your shoppers pay cash on delivery?
Set up COD on Shopify:
1. Settings > Payments
2. Under manual payment methods, pick Cash on Delivery (COD)
3. Add payment instructions for checkout
4. COD orders show as unpaid. Mark as paid once collected
@JurrianEerden That makes sense, a 30-day hold is common while they review volume. Worth noting the start date, and asking support whether the reserve drops automatically on day 30 or needs a manual review. Hope it clears quickly.
