Lifecycle state
An order has understandable states from preparation to closure.
STATIC Order Graph
The changing fulfillment and resolution history of an accepted transaction.
INSIDE STATIC ORDER GRAPH
Purpose, systems, and connections.
Order Graph follows what happens after the Commerce Promise: authorization, placement, acceptance, partial fulfillment, completion and any return or cancellation. The history keeps the actual outcome distinct from the original agreement.
Partial outcomes
Fulfillment can be tracked across the parts of an order.
Recovery
Returns, refunds, exchanges and cancellations stay connected to the purchase.
How it connects
Order state does not silently rewrite the accepted Commerce Promise; a changed agreement needs its own record.
