Order milestones mark each stage in the production cycle for an order and have corresponding dates for when you expect each milestone to begin or end. You can add or edit these dates by updating the status of any order.

How order milestones work
| Date | Logic |
| Production start date |
Anvyl automatically checks on the production start date to confirm the production status. |
| Estimated ship date |
Anvyl automatically checks 7 days prior to the ship date and again on the ship date itself to confirm the shipment status. The brand can customize the milestone dates. |
| Delivery date |
If you provide a delivery date that is in the past, Anvyl marks the order as delivered. |
