📌 General Questions


What does this app do?

Order Bulk Delete Manager helps you efficiently manage and delete multiple orders at once in your Shopify store. It's perfect for cleaning up test orders, removing spam orders, or managing order backlogs with advanced filtering and export capabilities.

🔍 Troubleshooting


Orders aren't showing up - what's wrong?

Common causes: Filters are active - click "Clear all" to reset, App permissions not granted - reinstall the app, No orders in your store - create test orders first, Date range filter excluding orders - try "All time".

  • Filters are active - click "Clear all"
  • App permissions not granted
  • No orders in your store
  • Date range filter excluding orders

Why can't I delete certain orders?

Shopify restricts deletion of orders that: Have active fulfillments in progress, Are currently being processed by payment gateway, Have pending refunds or chargebacks.

  • Orders with active fulfillments
  • Orders being processed by payment gateway
  • Orders with pending refunds/chargebacks

Wait for the order to complete processing, then try again.

The app is slow - what can I do?

Try these performance tips:

  • Use filters to reduce displayed orders
  • Delete in smaller batches (under 50)
  • Clear browser cache
  • Check your internet connection

I deleted an order by mistake!

Unfortunately, deleted orders cannot be recovered from Shopify. We recommend:

  • Always export to CSV before bulk deleting
  • Use the confirmation dialog carefully
  • Check the audit log for what was deleted
