Back to topDelete Orders for Adobe Commerce / Magento 2 by W3ctrl
By default, Adobe Commerce (Magento 2) does not provide a built-in option to delete orders. Delete Orders by W3ctrl extends core functionality by allowing store administrators to safely delete or archive orders, including all related documents such as invoices, shipments, and credit memos.
This extension is ideal for merchants who frequently deal with test orders, spam orders, failed transactions, or unwanted records, helping keep the order grid clean and manageable—without compromising database integrity or system stability.
Why Choose Delete Orders by W3ctrl?
The extension offers both Soft Delete (Archive) and Hard Delete (Permanent Removal) options, giving merchants full control over how orders are handled.
- Soft Delete (Archive Mode) allows you to archive orders instead of permanently removing them, ensuring data safety and recoverability.
- Hard Delete permanently removes orders and all associated entities from the database when complete removal is required.
- Designed with safety, validation, and audit tracking in mind.
