Order Status Workflow in Magento 2

Following Order Status Workflow will help you understand how the ordering process is when one is placed by a customer. Otherwise, the order status workflow will show store admins that each order status is corresponding to a state.

For example, the first stage of a new order that is not paid and delivered, Magento 2 system will auto-set it to “Pending”. Once you complete an invoice or you update the shipment, the status is changed to “Processing”, and when you both generate an invoice and you ship the order the status is changed to “Complete”.

Magento 2 creates predefined states such as: New, Pending Payment, Processing, Complete, Closed, Canceled, On Hold, Payment Review. Some predefined status are Processing, Pending Payment, Pending Paypal, On Hold, Suspected Fraud, Pending, Complete, Closed, Canceled, Payment Review.

  • Pending: when the invoice and shipment have not been created
  • Processing: the order has been either invoiced or delivered
  • Complete: when the order has been both invoiced and shipped
  • On hold: admins can assign the On hold status manually
  • Canceled: when the order has not been paid for, the store admin or the payment gateway will decide to put this status.
  • Closed: a credit memo is included and the refund has been made.
