Orders vs transactions
The distinction between orders and transactions is important:| Concept | State | Mutable? | Incentive effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Order | In-progress | Yes | No, until finalised |
| Transaction | Completed | No | Yes, on creation |
- Zero transactions: if the order is cancelled before fulfilment
- One transaction: the most common case (full order fulfilled)
- Multiple transactions: if items are shipped in separate fulfilments with separate transactions
When to use orders
Orders are used when you need to record a purchase commitment before it is finalised. Common scenarios:- eCommerce: an online order placed but not yet shipped/fulfilled
- Layby: a reservation with staged payments
- Click and collect: an order placed online for in-store pickup

Order to transaction conversion
When an order is fulfilled, create a corresponding transaction via the Transactions API. The order record is retained as a reference. Incentive calculations, point issuance, and reaction triggers all happen at the transaction stage.Content needed: specific API workflow for converting orders to transactions in common integration patterns.
