Batching Orders
The Order Manager page will not only give you the ability to search for orders but you can also update multiple orders at once. The batch feature includes capabilities such as processing credit card authorizations for multiple orders, entering multiple shipment tracking numbers, and batch printing invoices and packing slips.

After the orders appear in your results, select them by ticking the checkbox next to each.

You can also tick the checkbox shown in the table heading, to select all of your results and exclude as needed.
