# Order

The `Order` family — 11 operations.

An order is a sale as the till and the online channels record it — the lines, the figures, the payment and fulfillment story. Orders are born and driven at the register and the selling surfaces; the back office reads them here: open one to see its lines, discounts, totals and status flow, and follow its references to invoices and stock.
