This guide walks through the steps to process an order in WooCommerce — from logging in to your WordPress dashboard to marking the order as completed and notifying the customer.

## Log In to Your Dashboard

1. Open your browser and navigate to wordpress.com.
2. Log in with the credentials associated with your WooCommerce store.
3. You'll land on your WordPress dashboard.

## Open the Orders Screen

1. In the left navigation menu, click **WooCommerce** to expand its options.
2. Click **Orders**. This section is where all customer orders are organized and managed, making it the central hub for fulfilling purchases.

The orders list shows all orders categorized by status, such as **pending**, **processing**, and **completed**, so you can quickly identify which orders need attention.

## Open an Order to Process

Click on an order that's currently under the **processing** status. This opens the detailed order overview page where you can review and manage all aspects of that order.

## Fill In and Verify Order Details

1. Fill in the required fields, such as the customer's **billing** and **shipping addresses**, ensuring they're complete and accurate to avoid delivery issues.
2. Review the items listed in the order — check the price, quantity, and total for each product to make sure everything matches the order summary.

> Any discrepancies should be addressed before finalizing the order.

## Mark the Order as Completed

1. In the right-side panel of the order page, find the **Send order email** dropdown.
2. Change the status to **Completed order**. This prepares the system to notify the customer that their order has been processed and is on its way.
3. Click **Save order and save email** to record the order status and send the customer notification.

## Finalize

Click **Update** at the top right of your screen. The order status changes to **completed**, indicating the order has been successfully processed and the customer has been notified.
