Hi. How can we help?

Order statuses

The status specifies the order's current state in the fulfilment process. Read this article to learn about the seven default statuses in Lightspeed eCom.

Awaiting payment

The order has not yet been paid. This status occurs when a customer selects a payment method like Pay by invoice where payment is supposed to be made later.

It also occurs when a customer selects a payment method that redirects users to the the payment provider's website to receive payment. When the payment fails, the order will keep the Awaiting payment status. For example, a customer selects PayPal and then completes checkout. The order is received in the eCom Back Office with the Awaiting payment status. The customer is redirected to the PayPal website to enter their credit card information. If the customer closes the window before completing payment with PayPal, the order will remain as awaiting payment.

Awaiting Capture

The order's payment has not yet been captured in Lightspeed Payments (currently only available in the United States).

Ready for shipment

This status means the order has not yet been shipped to the customer. This status occurs after it has been marked as paid.
