How to Archive an Amazon Order (2025 Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’ve ever shared your Amazon account with family, or simply want to hide a few purchases from your main order history, the “Archive Order” feature is your best friend.In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through how to archive an Amazon order, what it actually does (and doesn’t do), and how you can better manage your order history.

🛒 What Does “Archiving” Mean on Amazon?

Archiving an order doesn’t delete it — it simply moves that order out of your main “Orders” list into a hidden “Archived Orders” section.Think of it as a private folder where old or sensitive orders stay out of sight but can still be accessed later if needed.

You might want to archive an order if:

• You bought a surprise gift for someone who shares your account.

• You don’t want certain purchases to show up in your regular history.

• You like to keep your order list tidy.
