Find an order by its number

Every Crate order has a unique order number shown on the orders list and the order page. Use it to search for and reopen any past order in seconds.

🖥 Web 📱 Mobile

Every order Crate creates gets a unique order number — a short reference like R3F9A21C. It's how you and your customer refer to a specific purchase, and it's the fastest way to pull an order back up later.

Where the number appears

You'll see the same number everywhere an order shows up:

  • In the Order column of the orders table.
  • As the heading at the top of the order's detail page.
  • On the order's invoice and receipt.

Because it's consistent across all of these, a customer can quote the number from their receipt and you can find the exact order straight away.

Searching for an order

To jump to a specific order, open Search from the top of the orders page and type the order number. Search also matches the customer's name and email, so even if you don't have the number to hand, you can find the order by who placed it. You can also filter the orders list by date range, payment status, and sales channel to narrow things down. Click any result to open the full order.
