Sharing an Amazon account with friends and family is common, especially if you have a Prime membership. This, however, lets anyone with access to your account see your order history. If you want to hide your intimate or personal orders from everyone’s eyes, this article will discuss how to archive Amazon orders on mobile and desktop.Â
Archiving orders doesn’t mean they get deleted. They will still be attached to your account, which comes in handy if you want to re-order them. However, Amazon makes it pretty tricky to locate your archived orders if you don’t know how to find them. Let’s begin by understanding how to archive orders.
Note: You can archive up to 500 orders, but not more than that.
