Orders & Transactions

Every purchase a customer makes — through a journey, the customer portal, or the API — becomes a commercial order that PeakCommerce records and dispatches to your billing system. Orders and Transactions (under Commerce) are where you see what was sold, where it was routed, and whether billing succeeded.

The Orders page under Commerce, with summary tiles for order volume, billed, in-flight, and failed dispatch, and a table of orders showing customer, product, amount, billing destination, status, and source
Orders (Commerce → Orders) — each order's billing destination, status, and source, with dispatch health summarized up top.

Orders

An order captures the intent of a purchase — the customer, the products and amounts, and the journey or channel it came from. PeakCommerce is the system of record for that intent, its rule resolution, and its routing to a billing destination.

Each order shows:

  • Customer / account — who the order is for.

  • Product and amount — what was sold and for how much.

  • Destination — the billing system the order is dispatched to (for example Zuora, Stripe, or Peak Billing).

  • Status — where the order is in its lifecycle: Billed, Processing, Pending, or Failed (needs attention).

  • Source — how it originated: a checkout, a subscription change, or the API.

Summary tiles track order volume, how many billed successfully, how many are still in flight, and how many failed dispatch and need attention. Failed orders stay visible so you can diagnose and re-dispatch them — billing failures are never hidden.

Transactions

Where Orders track what was sold, Transactions track the money: invoices, payments, refunds, and credit memos reconciled back from your billing system and payment gateways. Use them to confirm that an order actually billed and was paid, and to investigate a disputed or failed charge.

Who and when

Admins and CSRs use Orders to confirm a sale dispatched correctly and to triage anything that failed; Transactions give finance and support a reconciled view of invoices and payments tied back to each order.
