Order moderation is an essential part of running a business. When we talk Magento, there is a known limitation that can significantly complicate the process for Magento store admins.

To edit an order, you will need to cancel it first. Additionally, by default, you can not delete orders at all and perform mass actions with them.

Order management extensions for Magento 2 will assist you in dealing with such hurdles.

In this article, we tackle the best Magento 2 order management extensions that will help you bypass the default platform’s limits and introduce such indispensable functionality as deleting orders, their advanced processing, and editing any order details without having to cancel them.

Here’s the cherry-picked list:

Mageworx’s Order Management

This developer and their solutions have been on the market since 2008. The US-based company is relatively small but takes its products and their testing extremely seriously. 

According to Mageworx TrustPilot reviews, their technical support is top-notch, and the developer enthusiastically adds features to the core of their extensions, based on the users’ feedback.

Order Management by IWD Agency

This Order Management extension is our list's last but not least solution. Built by a full-scale Magento agency (as the brand’s name suggests), the company's activities include design development and eCommerce website support. Compared to the organizations mentioned above, the company is more numerous and has over 50 staff members.

This developer is distinct for its complex pricing scenarios and variety of options. Thus, you can use the solution for free. However, as in the case of software with a subscription-based model, the functionality will have significant limits and will only let you delete orders, edit order status, and update customer details, shipping, and billing. If the functionality is not enough for your business, you should consider moving to the next pricing tier (or another Magento extension).

Top features:

• Order deleting
• Editing order status
• Authorize.Net CIM
• Ability to customize the order grid
• Payment and shipping methods moderation
• Multi-warehouse inventory
• Billing, shipping, and customer data editing
• Sales representatives (within paid plans only)
• Free upgrades (under monthly subscriptions only)

Updates and support period:

You should contact the developer for details on further support and updates charges.

Subscriptions: Mixed

Pricing:

The following pricing options are available:

• Free

• Pro — $800 as a one-time payment or $50/month on the subscription-based basis

Instead of Final Words

Undoubtedly, Adobe Commerce (unlike Magento Open Source) comes with certain order and inventory management opportunities, which still may not be enough for a successfully operating business.

In our humble opinion, the Magento 2 extensions on our list are rightfully the best available so far. Developed by professionals who have been doing Magento development for over a decade, they have:

• The most critical and tried-and-tested features
• Top-notch technical support teams
• Flexible pricing models
• Ongoing extensions support and update

As this list is certainly not the best-to-worst one, any module listed is worth taking a closer look at. Any business is unique and has unique business needs, which should determine which software allows achieving those goals the best.
