About OrderFlow
OrderFlow is the operational heart of your store. Create and manage carts and orders, handle quotes/RFQs with approvals for B2B, and orchestrate shipments and returns. Keep teams aligned with timelines, status tracking and fast analytics rollups.
Recovery flows detect abandoned carts and trigger emails. Deep integrations connect ProductCatalog, Access Guard, Payments and ChannelBridge so OrderFlow stays in sync without storing card data. Export/import CSV or JSON, publish webhooks, and automate downstream processes with a secure Bridges layer.
