Finding existing orders
Track down any order in seconds — search by order number, customer, email or phone right from the Orders page, or use Advanced search to match on a date range, status and sales channel at once.
Every order you take on Crate is saved and searchable forever — there's no archive to dig through and nothing to re-import. Whether a customer is chasing a delivery or you're reconciling last month's sales, you can pull up the exact order in a couple of seconds.
The fastest way: search the Orders page
The search box at the top of the Orders table matches on the order number, the customer's name, their email and their phone number. Type any part of what you remember — a name, the tail of an order number — and the table filters down to matching orders.
Tip: Order numbers in Crate look like R3F9A2C1. You only need to type the distinctive part; you don't have to get the whole thing right.Finding a group of orders
When you're not after one specific order but a set of them — say, every unpaid order from last week — reach for the status tabs and the Filters drawer instead:
- Status tabs sit just above the table: All, Unpaid, Paid, Fulfilled, Cancelled and At risk. One click swaps the view.
- Filters lets you stack conditions — payment status, fulfilment state, sales channel and a from/to date range — and applies them together. Active filters show as chips you can remove one at a time.
If you find yourself running the same combination often, save it as a view and recall it in one click next time.
Advanced search for a precise match
The Search button in the top-right opens a dedicated Advanced search screen. It's built for when you know a few exact details — an order number and a date range, or a customer and a status — and want only the orders that match all of them. Fill in what you know, leave the rest blank, and click Search orders.

Need to find a group of orders? Open the Filters drawer to narrow by payment status, fulfilment, sales channel or a date range. The status tabs above the table — All, Unpaid, Paid, Fulfilled, Cancelled, At risk — are one-click shortcuts for the most common views.
