Overview of this book

Do you have a good product to sell but need your start-up to sell it to your potential customers the right way? Were you unhappy with what Magento 1 had to offer and are looking forward to trying out what Magento 2 provides? If either of these questions ring a bell, then this book is for you! You'll start by getting a general understanding of what Magento is, why and how you should use it, and whether it is possible and feasible to migrate from an old web store to Magento 2. We'll introduce you to the main e-commerce concepts and basic features and let you play with them, so you can get a taste of how catalog and content management works. Following on from that, we'll show you how to tune your store up. You will learn how to get web store offers up and running, how to offer various discounts in the catalog, how to let the customers reduce the total price in the shopping cart by combining different products, and how to generate coupon codes that customers can use. Finally, we'll get serious and turn your plaything into a real web store, teaching you how to run it for real.

Preface

State and status


Right from the moment the order is created in Magento, it is processed and goes through different states and statuses.

Magento uses the order states internally to identify the current phase of the order. These states are not customizable and not visible in the backend; they are only visible in the codebase and the database of Magento.

Order statuses are used by the store administrator to set up a flow for the order, from the beginning of the purchase to the moment the order is invoiced and the products are delivered. These statuses are customizable by the store administrator in the Magento admin panel.

You can see the list of all the internal order states in the sales_order_status_state database table: 

You can manage the order statuses from the following section in the admin panel:

There are 13 statuses available by default in Magento 2:

  • Suspect Fraud

  • Pending Payment

  • Payment Review

  • Pending

  • On Hold

  • Complete

  • Closed

  • Canceled
