Delete orders in Magento using a shell script

Since this is a typical issue when changing from improvement to organizing lastly to creation ennvironments it is convenient to have a shell script that deals with erasing orders in Magento by essentially indicating a rundown of requests to erase, either by request id or request increment id.

In a late post I’ve demonstrated the strides required to erase orders in Magento utilizing several SQL inquiries. Since this is a typical issue when changing from improvement to organizing lastly to creation ennvironments it is convenient to have a shell script that deals with erasing orders in Magento by essentially indicating a rundown of requests to erase, either by request id or request increase id.

This is why I’ve decided to write up a simply PHP shell script containing the required commands to delete orders in Magento. Although it’s pretty self-explanatory I’m planning to release an extension on Magento Connect. Meanwhile feel free to use the code provided below.

<?php
 
require '../app/Mage.php';
 
Mage::app('admin')->setUseSessionInUrl(false);
 
/**
 * whether $removeOrderIds are specified as order increment ids (e.g. 100000025)
 * or order ids (e.g. 25).
 */
$useOrderIncrementId = true;
 
/**
 * specify order ids to remove
 */
$removeOrderIds = array(
);
 
/**
 * Deletes order either by $orderIncrementId or $orderId.
 * @param int $orderId
 * @param boolean $isOrderIncrementId is order increment id
 * @return boolean
 */
function deleteOrder($orderId, $isOrderIncrementId = false) {
 try {
 
   $order = null;
 
   // load order either based on order increment id or order id
   if ($isOrderIncrementId) {
     $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($orderId, 'increment_id');
   } else {
     $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($orderId);
   }
 
   if (!$order->getId()) {
     echo 'Order #' . $orderId . ' does not exist (anymore)' . PHP_EOL;
     return;
   }
 
   // 1. call delete to trigger delete-CASCADE
   $order->delete();
 
   // 2. manual clean-up for deleted order
   // credits go to DeleteOrders extensions
   $resource = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource');
   $delete = $resource->getConnection('core_read');
   $orderTable = $resource->getTableName('sales_flat_order_grid');
   $invoiceTable = $resource->getTableName('sales_flat_invoice_grid');
   $shipmentTable = $resource->getTableName('sales_flat_shipment_grid');
   $creditMemoTable = $resource->getTableName('sales_flat_creditmemo_grid');
  
   $sql = "DELETE FROM " . $orderTable . " WHERE entity_id = " . $orderId . ";";
   $delete->query($sql);
   $sql = "DELETE FROM " . $invoiceTable . " WHERE order_id = " . $orderId . ";";
   $delete->query($sql);
   $sql = "DELETE FROM " . $shipmentTable . " WHERE order_id = " . $orderId . ";";
   $delete->query($sql);
   $sql = "DELETE FROM " . $creditMemoTable . " WHERE order_id = " . $orderId . ";";
   $delete->query($sql);
 
   // 3. we are done!
   echo 'Removed order #' . $orderId . PHP_EOL;
 
   return true;
 } catch (Exception $e) {
   echo "Failed to remove order #" . $orderId . ": "
   . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
 }
 
 return false;
}
 
/**
 * iterate over $removeOrderIds
 */
foreach ($removeOrderIds as $orderId) {
  deleteOrder($orderId, $useOrderIncrementId);
}
 
echo "DONE!" . PHP_EOL;
