What are incomplete orders in BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:41 am

An incomplete order is an order that does not meet all of the conditions necessary for it to be considered a completed order. Incomplete orders can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common are when a customer places an order, but does not complete it.

Incomplete orders can also be caused when a product is out of stock, or when a customer makes a change to their order after it has been submitted.

When an incomplete order is detected, the system will send the customer a notification informing them of the problem and asking them to complete the order. If the customer does not complete the order within a certain amount of time, the order will be cancelled and the customer’s account will be charged for the order’s costs.

PRO TIP: If you have incomplete orders in your Bigcommerce account, it means that there are orders which have not been completed by the customer. This could be for a number of reasons, such as the customer not having enough funds to complete the order, or the customer not completing the checkout process. Incomplete orders can cause problems with your inventory levels and your order fulfilment, so it is important to try and complete these orders as soon as possible.

Incomplete orders can have a negative impact on a business’s sales. It can be difficult for customers to find and purchase products if the order cannot be completed, and it can take longer for orders to be filled.

Incomplete orders also create a potential risk for fraud, as customers may attempt to order products that are not actually available.

As a business, it is important to monitor incomplete orders closely and take appropriate action to ensure that customers can complete their orders quickly and without issue.
