Orders and Buyer Messages

Manage a new order

Follow the correct steps after receiving an order from a buyer.

Seller AcademyUpdated 13 July 2026

An order should move through a clear process from confirmation to dispatch, delivery and completion.

Review the order

  • Confirm the product, variation and quantity.
  • Confirm the delivery or pickup method.
  • Check the payment status.
  • Check that the item remains available.

Prepare fulfilment

  • Reserve the correct stock.
  • Inspect the item before packing.
  • Use suitable protective packaging.
  • Include required accessories and documents.

Keep the order updated

  • Confirm the order when ready to proceed.
  • Add dispatch or tracking information where available.
  • Tell the buyer about delays immediately.
  • Mark delivery only after the handover has occurred.
Important

Do not mark an order dispatched or delivered before that event has actually happened.
