Shipwise pulls available orders from your eCommerce system. The available orders enter Shipwise. We save the new orders with a status of Open. This status simply means the order was successfully imported into the system. Orders start processing through Shipwise dependent all on the order status, we sometimes call it order state. An order flows between each status and typically flows as show below:
