Order Lifecycle
===============

An order lifecycle consists of the various stages of communication between the seller and the Flipkart system during a transaction. The Flipkart system sends notification content (or payloads) to the seller system and also responds to the API calls from the seller system with the corresponding payloads.

The following flow diagram illustrates the API :ref:`calls <omapiref-label>` and :ref:`notifications <omsellernotif-label>` in a sample order lifecycle.

.. note:: The diagram does not cover SLA changes, orders on hold, or cancelled.
