Store activation

The Lifecycle

Transitions Explained

Active: Shopper pages and public quotes can use this store. Inactive: Shopper lists are empty, product pages are unavailable and public quotes fail; staff receive removal diagnostics. Deleted: The record is absent and its default picture awaits cleanup.

What Cannot Happen

Removal has no operation that restores the same record.

Concurrency and Timing

Versioned replacements reject stale edits. Each storefront request rereads activity, so the next page reflects a committed switch.
