Order status lookup page with a simple dashboard
Your customers enter an order ID and see the current status of their order. You update statuses yourself from a simple dashboard. We build it as a Tool: up to 5 screens, saved data, one email integration, hosted for you, with full source code.
The problem
When customers can't see where their order stands, they email or call to ask. Someone on your team then has to look it up and reply, over and over. A spreadsheet works for you internally, but you can't hand it to customers. What you need is one page where a customer types an order ID and sees the status, plus one place where you change that status in a few clicks.
What we’d build
- A public lookup page where a customer enters an order ID and sees the current status and last-updated date.
- A friendly not-found message for IDs that don't match any order.
- A dashboard to add orders, edit them, and change statuses from a list you define, such as Received, In Progress, Shipped, and Ready for Pickup.
- Saved order data, so statuses persist and you can search by order ID.
- One integration: an email to the customer whenever you change their status. The dashboard is protected by a shared passcode.
A concrete example
A custom-furniture shop gives each order a number like 1042. The customer opens the lookup page, types 1042, and sees "In Progress: finishing," along with the date it was last updated. The owner opens the dashboard, searches 1042, and changes the status to "Ready for Pickup." The customer gets an email automatically. The build has five screens: lookup, result, dashboard sign-in, order list, and order edit. It includes one email integration and two rounds of tweaks after delivery.

Frequently asked
Can each staff member have their own login?
Not in the Tool tier. The dashboard uses one shared passcode, with no individual accounts or roles. If you need separate logins or different permissions per person, that's a Mini-app, which includes login and roles.
Can it connect to our existing order system?
The Tool tier includes one integration, and we've scoped this around email notifications. Orders are added in the dashboard. If you want a different single integration, such as Google Sheets or a webhook, tell us up front and we'll confirm it fits before starting.
What does hosting cost, and what if I change my mind?
Hosting is included for 12 months, then $9.00 per month, or you can self-host with the source code we deliver. If we decline your project before work starts, you get a full refund. After delivery, there are no refunds.
