What every status badge means

These are the same colored badges you see in your Chats, Orders, Returns, and Customer History tabs — grouped here with a plain explanation of each one, so you can act on them at a glance. Looking for what an Analytics number means instead? →

Chat status

Shown in the Chats tab — tracks where the bot is in a conversation with a customer.

new

The customer just started chatting. They haven't picked a product yet.

awaiting product selection

The bot showed the customer its product menu or search results and is waiting for them to pick one.

awaiting size

The bot asked the customer to confirm which size they want and is waiting on a reply.

awaiting quantity

The bot asked how many of an item they want and is waiting on a reply.

awaiting add more

The bot asked if the customer wants to add anything else to their cart and is waiting on a reply.

confirming address

The bot is collecting or confirming the customer's delivery address.

awaiting payment

A payment link has been sent. The bot is waiting for the customer to pay.

awaiting return reason

The bot has asked the customer why they want to return an item and is waiting on their answer.

awaiting support ig handle

The customer asked to speak to a human and the bot doesn't have their Instagram handle saved. It's asking for it before handing the chat over to you — once they reply (or don't), it lands in Stuck either way.

manual review

The bot got stuck (couldn't understand a reply, or hit an edge case) and handed the conversation over to you. Needs a manual reply.

blocked bot loop

The bot has permanently stopped replies to this customer because it detected an unusually high volume of messages in a short time — usually spam or an accidental loop, not a real order.

order placed / completed

The order has been placed and confirmed. The conversation is done — nothing further needed from you here.

awaiting ig handle optional

The order is already placed and paid — this is a courtesy follow-up. The bot asked for the customer's Instagram handle (just so you have it on file to reach them) and is waiting on a reply. Doesn't hold up or affect the order.

awaiting ig handle optional retry

The customer's first reply to the handle request didn't look like a valid Instagram username, so the bot asked once more.

awaiting ig handle optional final

The bot's last attempt at getting a valid handle — if this reply also doesn't look right, it gives up and flags it for your team instead of asking again.

Order status

Shown in the Orders tab and Customer History — tracks payment for a placed order.

pending payment

The order exists but the customer hasn't paid yet.

awaiting manual payment

The customer chose to pay manually (UPI ID or bank transfer) and hasn't confirmed payment yet.

pending manual verification

The customer says they've paid manually and uploaded a screenshot. It's sitting in your queue for you to Confirm or Reject.

link failed

Checkout DM tried to generate a Razorpay payment link for this order and it failed. Needs your attention — the customer can't pay until this is fixed.

paid

Payment has been received and confirmed. This is a completed sale.

paid manual review

The customer reported paying manually (UPI ID or bank transfer) and you confirmed it. Functionally the same as Paid.

rejected

This order was rejected — usually because a manually-reported payment couldn't be verified. This is different from a rejected return (see below).

returned

This order was fully returned and refunded — every item on it was covered.

partially returned

Some items from this order were returned and refunded, but not all of them — the rest of the order still stands.

Return status

Shown in the Returns tab — tracks a customer's return request after an order was paid.

requested

The customer has asked to return an item. It's waiting on your Approve/Reject decision.

approved

You approved the return. Stock is restocked automatically and the customer is notified.

rejected

You declined the return request. The customer is notified, along with your return policy. This is different from a rejected order (see above).

Partial return

Not a status on its own — this tag appears next to a return's status badge when only some items from the order are being returned, not the whole order.
