Magento2 – Load Order: OrderRepository vs OrderFactory
magento2
What is the difference between loading an order from OrderRepository & OrderFactory?
Best Answer
You need to understand the factory and repository patterns.
Factories are service classes that instantiate non-injectable classes, that is, models that represent a database entity. They create a layer of abstraction between the ObjectManager and business code.
Repositories are responsible for reading and writing your object information to an object store. In the Repository pattern, the data objects, the database logic, and the business logic connect to each other using interfaces.
Tip : Use repositories where possible and prefer them over factories.
order Id(entity_id) is the primary key of sales order table and it is not visible at customer end.
And *increment_id is also an auto increment field basic of place order store *.Customer only see it and it is structural and always started store id, just like 100000049 and 300000214,where starting numbers (1,3) is ids of store. 1,3 are those store's ids from order is placed.
Authorization Approves the purchase, but puts a hold on the funds. The amount is not withdrawn until it is “captured” by the merchant.
Sale The amount of the purchase is authorized and immediately withdrawn from the customer’s account.
Order The amount of the order is neither captured nor authorized in the customer’s balance, bank account, or credit card at PayPal. The Order payment action represents an agreement between the PayPal payment system and the merchant, which enables the merchant to capture one or more amounts up to the “ordered” total from the customer’s buyer account, over a maximum of 29 days. After the funds are “ordered,” the merchant can capture them at any time during the following 29 days. Capturing of the order amount can be done only from the Magento backend, by creating one or more invoices.
