Important Notes

Orders should NOT be left pending at approved status, as it would usually indicate a technical/status sync issue and must be addressed immediately by:

Double-checking the implemented method for authorisation.

Authorisation acts as an order acknowledgement, and it is mandatory for the order to proceed to the next statuses.

📘
If an order is not Captured within 21 days from when it is Authorised, Tamara will auto-capture that order and it will be moved to Fully Captured status

Capture could map to ‘shipping’ or ‘fulfilling’, depending on the merchant use-case and setup.
