Contract

In the ECommerce context, a Contract is the confirmed order document that is created when a customer completes checkout. It is the binding purchase agreement between the customer and the shop operator, generated from the ShopCart once payment is confirmed. The contract references the buyer partner, billing and shipping addresses, the currency, tax and delivery conditions, and links back to the original shopping cart as well as to the issued invoice.

The ECommerce converter presents the contract from the customer-facing perspective — exposing order date, external order ID, and status — while the underlying record also drives warehouse picking, invoicing, and fulfillment workflows in the backend.
