Amazon: How to find and archive old orders
Amazon is the go-to website for millions of customers every year. It lets you view your online shopping history on your phone, desktop PC, Mac, or Chromebook. Although there isn’t a dedicated option to delete an item from yourAmazon order historyor hide orders from family members who share your account, Amazon lets you archive orders to keep them out of sight.
Archiving your orders keeps birthday presents, such aswireless headphones, and other surprise gifts out of everyone’s sight using the same Amazon account. This guide shows you how to archive your Amazon orders and find them when you need them.

How to view archived orders on Amazon
The benefit of archiving an order instead of deleting it is that you can still view it if needed. You can also unarchive orders to add them to your regular order history page. Here is how to view and unarchive your archived orders on Amazon.
Drawbacks of Amazon archive order feature
While it’s possible to hide Amazon orders, anyone actively looking for hidden orders can find them. There isn’t a way to permanently delete an order or hide the archived orders behind a password. Another drawback of this feature is that you cannot archive or unarchive orders from the iOS and Android apps. You must use a web browser on your computer or access the Amazon desktop site on mobile devices.
Check and reload your Amazon fund
Also, on both the desktop and the mobile app, anyone can view the archived orders by entering the item name in the search bar. However, it isn’t too bad since you must know what to look for. The real issue is that archiving an order doesn’t remove the item from yourBuy Againlist. If order obfuscation is your objective, remove it from Buy Again.
Share your Amazon Prime membership instead of your login
Although you can hide items by archiving them, the best way to keep order details private is to stop sharing your Amazon account. Instead, share the benefits of yourAmazon Primemembership with your friends and family members, which you can easily do by setting up anAmazon Household.
