Approving or Rejecting Orders in Order Workflows

Approving or Rejecting Orders in Order Workflows Commerce 2.1 and Earlier Versions

Order workflows, when enabled, empower the buyer or seller to require internal prior approval for an order before it can be processed. This article documents how to approve or reject an order when Buyer Order Approval Workflow or Seller Order Acceptance Workflow is enabled with the out-of-the-box Single Approver (Version 1) option.

An order is ready for review when a buyer submits their cart for approval or places an order for seller approval.
