How to hide orders on Amazon

Hide orders on Amazon in a few easy steps.

The ability to hide orders is limited to the Amazon website. You cannot archive your orders from the Amazon mobile app. So, be sure to follow these steps from your PC or mobile device through a browser. With that said, here is what you need to do to archive an Amazon order.

How to archive your Amazon order

1. Log in to your Amazon account on the web and click on ‘Returns and Orders’from the upper right corner of the screen.
2. From the list of available orders in the “Your orders” section, locate the order you want to hide and click on ‘Archive order’.
3. When the confirmation message appears, click ‘Archive order’ again. You have successfully archived the order and it will no longer appear in your Amazon order history.

How to unarchive your Amazon order

1. If you want to retrieve the order list, click on ‘Account & Lists’ on the home page and select ‘Your account’from the drop-down menu.
2. Click on the ‘Archived Orders’ section to manage your archived orders. In particular, you may not see the archived orders section on Amazon India. However, you can use this direct link to explore all your hidden orders.
3. Next to the list of products, you will see the button “Unarchive order”. Click on it and your order will appear in your Amazon order history again.
