An order status tells you where things stand. Use this example reference alongside Create your first order to understand each stage of the sample workflow.
Statuses at a glance#
| Example status | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | The order details are still being prepared. | Recipient, address, products, quantities, and requested date. |
| Submitted | The order has been sent for review. | Whether the request needs any follow-up details. |
| In progress | Work on the order has started. | The latest update and any changes to the plan. |
| Complete | The example workflow has finished. | The final order details for your records. |
| Cancelled | The order will not continue through this workflow. | The cancellation details before starting a replacement. |
A typical order journey#
The main example moves through four stages:
Draft → Submitted → In progress → Complete
Cancelled represents an order that stops before completion. This example does not define when cancellation is available or who can request it.
Read the details alongside the status#
A status is a summary. When reviewing an order, also check its latest update, requested date, and product quantities. Two orders can have the same status and still need different next steps.
