To reduce low-intent or abandoned orders, you can enable an optional checkout setting that ensures orders remain invisible to your order list until a successful payment is made.
Draft orders are labeled with a 'D' prefix in their order numbers, signifying their draft status until payment is completed.
How It Works
When this setting is enabled, all unpaid orders will remain in a “Draft” status and will not appear in your order dashboard. Only once the customer completes payment will the order be converted to a visible status.
This is particularly useful if:
- You want to discourage non-serious buyers.
- You receive too many abandoned or fake orders.
- You prefer to process only confirmed, paid orders.
How to Enable
- Go to your Admin Dashboard.
- Click on Settings.
- Click on Checkout and find the section "Payments"
- Toggle on the option “Keep status draft until paid.”
- To Disable This Option:
- Open your Order Settings.
- Turn off the "Keep draft until paid" toggle.
- Save changes to update the order behavior.
