This page covers the store account lifecycle and the states a store moves through.

​
Status

A store’s state lives in the status field of the Seller model, typed by the SellerStatus enum. A store moves through four statuses.
Only the operator can change a store’s status. Each transition runs through a dedicated workflow: approveSellerWorkflow, suspendSellerWorkflow, unsuspendSellerWorkflow, and terminateSellerWorkflow.
Termination is irreversible. All orders and payouts must be resolved before a store can be terminated.

​
Scheduled closures

A store can schedule a temporary closure with the closed_from and closed_to fields without changing its status. During the window, the storefront shows as unavailable and no new orders are accepted. The account stays open and resumes on its own once closed_to passes.
A closure overlays the current status. It is not a status of its own, and it does not affect the transition rules.

​
Premium

The is_premium boolean is set only by the operator. Stores cannot designate themselves as premium. The storefront uses the flag for featured placement, badges, and curation priority.
