We’ve all been there. A surprise gift for a loved one arrives, or perhaps you simply value your privacy and don’t want every purchase displayed on the family account. The good news is that Amazon provides a few simple ways to keep your orders more discreet.
Using Archive Order for a Clean Look
The most straightforward method to hide an order is by archiving it. When you archive an order, it disappears from the main “Your Orders” page, giving you a cleaner view of your recent purchases. Don’t worry, archiving doesn’t mean deleting. The order information, including tracking and receipts, is still safely stored and can be accessed whenever you need it. This is perfect for hiding gifts or simply decluttering your order history without losing any important data.
How to Archive an Amazon Order
Archiving an order only takes a few clicks. First, go to “Your Orders” on the Amazon website or in the app. Find the specific item you want to hide and look for the “Archive Order” button. Click it, and confirm your choice when prompted. The item will instantly vanish from your default orders list. To view your archived orders later, you can go to “Your Account,” then “Archived Orders,” where you’ll find everything neatly tucked away.
Managing Your Digital Footprint
Beyond archiving, consider other ways to manage your digital footprint on Amazon. If you share an account, creating separate profiles under an Amazon Household can be a great long-term solution, as each person gets their own private login and order history. For individual purchases, you can also turn off order sharing in your account settings to prevent others with access from seeing what you buy.
Whether you’re planning a surprise or just maintaining your privacy, these simple tools give you control over what you see and share in your Amazon order history.
