Automated BigCommerce Stuck Order Triage

Every morning, WebRun opens BigCommerce, finds the orders sitting in awaiting payment or awaiting fulfilment longer than your limit, sorts them by how long they have waited and what they are worth, posts the triage list to Microsoft Teams, and texts the store manager by Twilio about the worst ones.

In short

How do I find BigCommerce orders stuck awaiting payment or fulfilment?

WebRun opens BigCommerce every morning and finds orders sitting in awaiting payment or awaiting fulfilment longer than your limit, with the customer, value, and days waiting. It posts the triage list to Microsoft Teams split by status and texts the store manager by Twilio about the worst cases.

  • No customer waits unshipped while the sales number looks fine
  • Payment and fulfilment problems go to the right person
  • The value tied up in stuck orders is visible every morning

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it cancel or refund a stuck order?

No. WebRun only reads order statuses and reports them. It never cancels an order, issues a refund, marks anything shipped, or changes a status, so no money moves without a person.

Does the customer get contacted?

No. The triage list goes to your internal Teams channel and the text goes to your store manager. Any message to a customer about their order is written and sent by a person.

How long is too long?

You set the limit per status, for example one day for awaiting payment and two for awaiting fulfilment. Anything past its limit appears on the list, and a second, higher threshold triggers the text.

Put this on autopilot.
