Orders
Centralized order management with real-time sync across all connected marketplaces.
Overview
The Orders section consolidates every order from every connected marketplace into a single queue. Orders flow in via webhooks (where supported) or polling adapters, are normalized to NexusCommerce's internal order schema, and are available for fulfillment management, analytics, and customer service — without switching between marketplace dashboards.
Key Concepts
Order Lifecycle — Orders move through a standard lifecycle regardless of marketplace:
pending → confirmed → processing → shipped → delivered → completed
Returns branch off to the return_initiated → return_received → refunded flow. See Returns.
Fulfillment Method — Each order line item has a fulfillment method:
FBM(Fulfilled by Merchant) — You ship the itemFBA(Fulfilled by Amazon) — Amazon ships from their warehouseFBS(Fulfilled by Shopify) / marketplace-equivalent — Marketplace ships
NexusCommerce tracks all fulfillment methods but only requires action for FBM orders.
Order Source — The marketplace and connection that generated the order. Orders from Amazon US and Amazon UK are tracked as separate sources.
Getting Started
Navigate to Orders in the left sidebar. Orders are populated automatically by the adapter sync process.
To manually refresh the order queue, click Sync Now in the top-right. This triggers a full adapter pull for all active connections.
