How an order moves
1
Placed
Paid for, stock adjusted, confirmation email sent. If there are downloads in
it, the links go out with that email.
2
Fulfilled
You post it, or they download it. Tracking goes on the fulfilment tab.
3
Delivered
The carrier tells us it landed, if you’re using live carrier rates. This is
also what sets off any post-delivery automation.
Buying a label
On the Fulfilment tab, if you’re using live carrier rates. Buying one writes the tracking number onto the order, which your shipping email then sends to the customer. The price shown is the raw carrier cost — the amount actually leaving your balance — not what the customer paid you for postage. If the order ships from two of your locations, that’s two parcels and two labels.Refunds
Refund from the order. Two things happen alongside the money: Pending automations for that order are cancelled. Nobody gets asked to review something they’ve just returned. A full refund takes back any downloads. Their link stops working and the files go from their account. A partial refund doesn’t touch downloads. Refund the postage or knock some money off for a damaged parcel and they keep the file they still paid for. → Digital productsCrypto orders
These work like card orders, with the transaction recorded against them. Before an order is marked paid we check the payment came from the right place, went to the right place, and was the right amount. A transaction existing on a blockchain doesn’t tell you much on its own — plenty of transactions exist. If you’re reconciling by hand, check those same three things.Chargebacks
Where we have a purchase verification record for an order, it’s available as evidence if you’re disputing a chargeback. It’s only ever evidence. A weak signal never blocks a genuine customer from getting their order.Common questions

For card orders your Stripe account is the merchant of record, so the money
arrives on Stripe’s payout schedule rather than ours. Check your Stripe
dashboard.

Check your zone coverage. An address outside all your zones should block
checkout rather than ship free — if you’re seeing otherwise, that’s worth
telling us about.
