The order timeline in Shopify is a valuable tool for tracking the progress of orders and staying informed about any changes or updates. It provides transparency and helps you manage your orders more effectively.
Keep in mind that the specific events and details in the order timeline may vary depending on your store's settings and any third-party apps or integrations you have in place. However, the core functionality for tracking order history remains the same.
