How orders move through the system
Every order follows this flow:| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Just placed — waiting for your team to pick it up |
| Preparing | Your team is actively working on it |
| Ready | Done and waiting for the customer |
| Completed | Delivered and finished |
| Cancelled | Called off — requires confirmation |
The status labels change depending on your business type. A spa shows “Being worked on” instead of “Preparing”, and a pharmacy shows “Processing”. The flow is the same.
