Magento 2 Order Status and Order state

Magento 2 is the favourite platform for every store to boost online sale dramatically. It is excellent if many orders are placed. However, by then, you will find it diffcult and waste much time to manage thousands of orders in the effective way. Let follow the guides in this post to help you manage Order Staus and Order State very well. The more saving time, the more profits you can earn.

As soon as each order is created, the order information is transfered directly to a stage in Magento 2 order processing workflow. And meanwhile there is a specific column in the Orders grid called as Status that will control the order status. In addition, a set of predefined order status and order state settings are supported for your store. The order state reports the position of an order in the workflow at that time.
