ArchiveMaster allows you to archive WooCommerce orders based on status. This helps you keep your order management dashboard clean and organized, while still keeping archived orders accessible when needed.

How to Archive Orders by Status #

From your WordPress Dashboard, go to: ArchiveMaster > Archive Options

Select Order Statuses to Archive

In the Order statuses to archive section, you will see a dropdown list of all available WooCommerce Order statuses, including any custom order statuses you may have created (e.g., Completed, Cancelled, Refunded, plus your custom statuses). Select your preferred order statuses to archive.

Save Changes #

• Click Save Settings to apply your changes.
• Orders with the selected statuses will now be archived automatically.

Example Use Case #

• If you select Completed and Cancelled, all orders that match these statuses will be moved to the archive orders.
• This keeps your active orders list focused only on pending or processing orders, reducing clutter.

With Advanced Order Filtering, you can filter orders by product category and archive only those orders that contain products from selected categories. This gives you greater control over which orders are archived and helps keep your WooCommerce order list clean and organized.
