How To Archive Orders And View Archived Orders On Amazon App

Update: As of May 15, 2025, Amazon has removed the Archive Order functionality, which means you can no longer archive orders.

However, there is a workaround you can use to manually archive Amazon orders without the Archive Order option.

To enjoy Amazon Prime benefits, friends or family members usually use a common Amazon account to place orders on Amazon. This indirectly lets them see what orders have been placed from a certain account.

While most people won’t bother if their near ones view the order history. At the same time, you might want to hide your purchase after ordering a personal item or a special gift for someone.

In such a case, you can archive the order to hide Amazon orders from your account. When you archive an order, the particular order will no longer appear under ‘Your Orders’.

However, other people using your Amazon account can still view your archived orders if they are aware of this option. Also, there is no way to delete archived orders on Amazon and you can archive up to 500 orders.
