Filter Orders – ShipStation

How to filter orders in ShipStation using the filter bar or store settings.

Filters allow you to view orders that match only your selected criteria, like Destination, Tag, Store, and many others. Combine filters for a powerful way to quickly view priority orders or orders that need special attention.

Apply a Filter

To apply a filter:

Select a filter from the filter bar.
Select the criteria you wish to filter by.

The example below uses Destination :: International
Click Apply.

ShipStation orders grid - selects destination filter and chooses International. Saves the filter as a custom view

Remove the Filter

To remove a single filter, click the selected filter in the Filter bar and choose Remove. To remove all filters, click Clear Filters.

The demonstration below shows individual filters being added and removed.

Save the Filter

Click Custom View - Click to Save to save these filtered views if you find you use a filter or combination of filters frequently.

This saved filter view appears as a new tab and always shows the count for how many orders meet the filtered criteria. You can have an unlimited number of saved custom views.

Review the Create Custom View article for further details.

Filter Orders Legacy Layout

There are two methods for using filters in ShipStation Legacy. In method one you'll apply filters directly in the Orders grid. In method two you'll build and save a collection of filters you can then access in the Orders grid or use with automation rules.

Filter Orders Method One

To apply a filter:

Select a filter from the filter drop-down menu.
Select the criteria by which you wish to filter.

The example below uses Destination :: International

Note

Each criterion must be met for the filter to show the order. Because of this, we recommend you keep the number of criteria low as you add them. The lower the number of criteria to be met, the more likely you will filter usable results.

You can save this filtered view in two ways: Saved Filters or Saved Views.

Filter Orders Method Two

Go to Account Settings (the wrench icon in the upper right).
Click Automation then choose Order Filters.
Click + Create a Filter.
Select your criteria and set their values.
Click Save Changes when finished.

The filters you save in this method will appear under the Saved Filters menu in the Orders tab and are available to all users on the account.
