QUICK ANSWER

A 200 OK doesn’t mean the order reached your ERP. How to detect rejected orders, stuck queues, feed failures and delayed processing before customers notice.

FROM OUR ENGINEERING WORKREAL CASE

Rejected orders sat in an integration queue while the storefront looked healthy — a reminder that successful HTTP responses don’t mean the business transaction succeeded.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
✓The storefront can look healthy while orders fail silently downstream.
✓Monitor business outcomes, not just HTTP status.
✓Every failed order needs an owner and a retry path.
