Bulk mark orders ready for pickup
The DC Preorders app includes a feature that allows you to mark multiple orders as ready for pickup in a single action. This guide will help you understand how to use this function.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, please ensure that:
- You are logged into your Shopify admin panel.
- You have orders that need to be marked as ready for pickup.
- You are currently on the Pro plan in DC Preorders.
Steps
Here's how to bulk mark orders as ready for pickup:

- Navigate to Orders Page: From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on "Orders" in the left-hand side navigation bar. This will take you to the page that lists all your orders.
- Select Orders: Check the boxes next to the orders you wish to mark as ready for pickup. If you want to select all orders, check the box in the header row.
- Access Bulk Actions: In the bar above the order list, click the three dots (...) button to expand the list of available actions.
- Bulk Mark Orders: Under "Apps" in the dropdown list, look for the "Bulk mark orders ready for pickup" option with the DC Preorders logo next to it. Click on this option.

You'll be taken to a status page in DC Preorders that lists the orders you selected. The update runs in the background, so you're free to head back to your orders. Each order takes a few seconds to update in Shopify.

Click View orders in Shopify to return to your orders page, or open any order in the list to check its pickup status.
Partial pickup (Beta)
If only some items in an order are ready, use the [Beta] Partially mark orders for pickup action from the same menu. It lists the items across your selected orders so you can choose which ones to mark as ready and notify customers about.

Important Notes
- The 'Bulk marking orders ready for pickup' action will apply only to the orders you have selected. If you have more orders that need to be marked as ready, you'll need to repeat the process for those orders.
- Shopify sends the "ready for pickup" email only for orders whose delivery method is Local pickup. Orders placed with other shipping methods are skipped, and their customers are not emailed.
