Want to keep your more personal purchases private from a nosy spouse or child when shopping on Amazon? Amazon’s leaves your purchase history readily accessible through the “Returns & Orders” tab at the top of every page. But you can easily hide orders on Amazon from prying eyes by archiving them.

When you archive an order, it doesn't show up in your regular orders list on the Your Orders page. Your archived orders are stored on the Your Account page instead. The option to archive an order is only available when browsing Amazon on your computer or by using your phone’s web browser in desktop mode. You can’t use an app or Alexa device to perform this function.

1. On your computer go to Amazon.com (see instructions below on how to view a desktop version of the Amazon website on your phone)

2. Click on “Returns & Orders” in the menu bar in the upper right.

3. Find the item you want to hide in your orders list.

4. Below the order with the item you want to hide, click on “Archive order.” Note that you can only archive a whole order, or, if items were shipped in more than one box, a whole box of items in an order.

5. In the pop-up window, click “Archive order” again.

Once your order has been archived, it won’t appear under “Returns & Orders.” If you need to find your order, click on “Account & Lists” in the menu bar in the upper right and select “Archived Orders.” You can choose to “Unarchive Order” if you want to return your order to your regular order list. Amazon limits you to archiving 500 orders.

To hide an order on Amazon, go to your order history, select an order, and click "Archive Order." Archived Orders are hidden from your regular order list and can only be accessed through the "Archived Order" page.

If you share an Amazon account with your partner—or let other people use your Prime login—you might occasionally want to hide an order from your history. That way, you won’t spoil the surprise of a birthday gift, or your kids won’t see something they shouldn’t when shopping for school supplies. Here’s how to do it.

How to Archive or Hide an Order on Amazon

This will show you a list of all the things you’ve ordered in the past three months. Scroll through the list until you find the order that you want to hide and click “View Order Details.” If you don’t see it, use the search bar to find it.

For the item that you want to hide, click “Archive Order.”

Then, click “Archive Order” again. Everything you ordered at the same time will also be archived.

Now, when someone looks at the list of your orders, it won’t appear. It is still accessible, however, in the order archive.

You can access it on Amazon’s Archived Orders page. To find it on Amazon’s website, go to Accounts & Lists > Account. Click the “Archived Orders” button found on the Your Account page.

Set up Amazon Household Instead

Archiving orders to a little-known section of the user interface isn’t a great solution, to be honest. Sure, it works, but someone who’s curious could still easily find the order details. Instead, if you have Amazon Prime, there’s a much better solution: Amazon Household.

Amazon Household lets you share your Prime benefits and digital content with another adult and up to four teens and children. This means that both you and your partner can have your own Amazon accounts, order each other whatever secret gifts you like, and get the same free delivery options—without paying for a second Prime account. No more account-sharing is needed.

It also means that you can set your teenage kids up with their own Amazon accounts so that they can order things with your approval, but they won’t be able to pry through your order list to see what they’re getting for Christmas.

To set up an Amazon Household, head to the Amazon Household page and follow our full walkthrough.
