What is the Life Cycle of an Order?

  • 아티클

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This topic provides an overview of how you might implement your site code to process customer orders. The description provided here is not the only way to process orders, but rather is intended to introduce key orders classes and concepts. Furthermore, the topic includes only the details that are relevant to the Orders System. When a customer logs in to your Web site, for example, your site code would do more than the orders-related actions described in this topic.

The following table describes the steps that your site code might execute in response to a series of customer actions.
