Fixing Missing Orders in Webgility Desktop: Causes and Manual Download Instructions
This article helps Webgility Desktop users resolve missing orders in Webgility Desktop, a common issue that can typically be fixed with straightforward steps. It outlines the main causes and provides clear instructions for manually downloading missing orders using Webgility Desktop.
Why Orders May Not Download into Webgility
Several factors can cause some orders to be skipped during the download process:
1. Incorrect Order Filters or Statuses
Webgility allows you to filter which orders to download based on order status (e.g., Paid, Completed, Shipped). If these filters are misconfigured, eligible orders might be excluded.
2. Integration Issues
Occasionally, syncing problems between Webgility and your e-commerce platform (like Shopify, Amazon, etc.) may interrupt the order flow.
3. Technical Issues
Network outages, server downtime, or expired sessions can also prevent Webgility from retrieving orders successfully.
Step-by-Step: How to Download Missing Orders

Integrations > Stores > Settings > Download Settings -
Under Order Download Settings, select the relevant order statuses that match the missing orders (e.g., Paid, Fulfilled, Completed)
