Meesho Order ID vs Sub-Order ID vs AWB — What Each Number Means

Meesho uses three different reference numbers — order ID, sub-order ID and AWB — and they aren't interchangeable. The order ID groups a customer's purchase, the sub-order ID identifies each individual item, and the AWB tracks the physical shipment.

Key Takeaways

Order ID = the overall customer order.
Sub-order ID = each individual item in it.
AWB = courier tracking for the shipment.
Use the right ID for claims and support.

Number	Identifies
Order ID	The whole customer order
Sub-order ID	A single item/line in the order
AWB	The physical shipment (courier)

When to Use Each Number

Quote the sub-order ID when a query is about one specific item, the order ID for the whole purchase, and the AWB whenever it's about the shipment — tracking, RTO, or a return claim. Using the wrong reference is a common reason support tickets stall.

See what an AWB number means for tracking and claims. A tool like TrackEcom does this automatically — it reconciles every order, flags each deduction, and shows your real per-order profit so nothing slips through.

FAQs

What is the difference between order ID and sub-order ID in Meesho?

The order ID identifies the whole customer order, while the sub-order ID identifies each individual item within that order.

Is AWB the same as order ID in Meesho?

No. The AWB is the courier's shipment tracking number, separate from the order and sub-order IDs that identify your sale.
