Draft Orders dashboard
The Draft Orders dashboard brings every draft order and sent invoice from all your connected Shopify stores into one list. Instead of opening each store to see which drafts are still open, which invoices have gone out, and which have been completed, you get a single view you can filter, sort, and export.
Opening the dashboard
In the left sidebar, go to Data → Orders → Drafts, or visit
/orders/drafts directly.
If a connected store is missing the access scope EcomSolo needs to read draft orders, a small badge appears next to the menu item — open the dashboard and a banner shows which stores need re-authorizing.
What you'll see
Each row is one draft order, with these columns:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Draft Order | The draft name or number, linking to the draft in Shopify. |
| Date | When the draft was created. |
| Customer | The customer on the draft, with contact details on hover. |
| Store | Which connected store the draft belongs to. |
| Status | The draft status (Open, Invoice sent, Completed). |
| Total | The draft total in the store's currency. |
| Last activity | When the draft was last updated (hidden by default). |
Use the column picker to show, hide, and reorder columns and set your default sort; the dashboard remembers your choice. On a single-store account the Store column is hidden automatically.
Filtering and searching
Narrow the list with filters for Stores, Date, Tags, Email, Total, and Items, then sort by any column. This makes the common questions one click away — "which invoices have I sent this week", "all drafts for one customer's email", "open drafts above a certain value across every store".
Exporting
Open the Export Builder from the dashboard to download draft orders as CSV or Excel. You choose the scope:
- Current page — just what's on screen.
- Filtered — everything matching your current filters.
- Selected — only the rows you tick.
- All draft orders — the full list across your stores.
Pick the columns you want, and download. If you export the same shape regularly, save it as a template so it's one click next time, or set up a recurring schedule from the Schedules view.
Tutorial: export every sent invoice awaiting payment
A quick walkthrough of a common job — pulling every draft where the invoice has gone out, across every store, and handing it to your team as a file.
- Open Data → Orders → Drafts from the sidebar.
- Type in the search box or use the filters to focus the list — for example set the Store filter to one store, or search a customer's Email.
- Click the Status column header to sort so invoice-sent drafts group together.
- Click the Date column header to sort oldest first, so the drafts waiting longest rise to the top.
- Use the column picker to show the columns your team needs, such as Customer and Total.
- Open the Export Builder, choose the Filtered scope, pick your columns, and download a CSV or Excel — a ready-to-share follow-up list.
Permissions
Account owners always have access. For team members, access to the Orders section — including drafts — is controlled by the View Orders permission. Without it, opening the dashboard shows a "no access" message. Grant it from your team member's permissions.
FAQ
Does the Draft Orders dashboard show drafts from all my stores at once? Yes — every connected store's draft orders and sent invoices land in one list. Filter by Stores when you want to focus on a single store.
What's the difference between the statuses? Open is a draft still being edited, Invoice sent means an invoice has gone out to the customer, and Completed means the draft has been turned into an order.
Can I export only the drafts I've filtered to? Yes. Open the Export Builder and choose the Filtered scope to export exactly what matches your current filters — or Selected for just the rows you tick.
A store shows a warning badge next to Drafts — what does it mean? That store is missing the Shopify access scope EcomSolo needs to read draft orders. Re-authorize the store and the badge clears.
Can team members see this dashboard? Only if they have the View Orders permission. Account owners always have access.
