Hello Community,  
Can you please clarify the meaning of following order status

**default & pending** : When we create an order this is the default status which we see in fulfillment\_status of order and its line items. then what does “pending” mean here.  
I want to know the difference between **default** and **pending** status.

**unfulfilled** : Ok I know it means the order is not fulfilled yet, Can we assume it as “inprogress” status which means the shipment is ready to ship but not shipped yet. OR does it has a different meaning here? Kindly explain

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi @khungersumit!  
For this purpose, **default** & **pending** will be the same, meaning that they are still pending fulfillment, and have a Default status.

**unfulfilled** means every order without **Canceled** or **Fulfilled** status, even with a custom status

They won’t mean that they are ready to ship, they will only refer to the `fulfillment_status` of the order

Let me know if that doesn’t help.  
Thanks!  
Tom

Hi @tomasw

Which status from the available status should I use for the “ **order which is ready to ship** ” but not shipped yet. (Assume Neither I have custom status nor I want to create new ones)

I can see the available status “unfulfilled”, “default”, “fulfilled”, “canceled”, “pending”. Are there other status available too besides these.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @khungersumit  
We don’t have a filter for _ **Ready to ship:Yes** _ as it will depend if it has no holds, no locks, and everything allocated for example.  
We do have a filter on that screen at [https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/orders/manage](https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/orders/manage) that indicates if it’s ready to ship

But it is not related with the Order Status itself, and also not exposed through the Public API  
Let me know if this doesn’t helps explain the difference.  
Thanks again!
