Order Pipeline - use as a service or not?
In topic Home Online Help Order Processing Reviewing and Authorizing Orders Order Pipeline you explain a little about the process.
 
But can you clarify please, if you DO NOT run the order pipeline as a service, what happens to the process steps as described. Does it do the same things?
 
 
 
The typical pipeline is ordered as follows. If you have enabled Google Checkout or PayPal Express, the pipeline might be a little different.
  • Send order confirmation email
  • Authorize credit card
  • Gather items from inventory
  • Capture credit card
  • Ship order
  • Send order completion email

The order pipeline is running by order. The next step won't be started until the current step is completed.

Re: Order Pipeline - use as a service or not?
There is a video about order processing. Although it's old it says the basic idea. The order pipeline moves orders through the automatic steps e.g sending email, credit card authorization etc. If you don't it as a service, you will need to run it inside web application. Otherwise the automation steps won't happen.

Luke,
 
When running the order pipeline inside of the application, I noticed that after switching to PayPal Standard we are no longer getting order emails. In the instructions at the link below, I don't see a provider for PayPal Standard, only <span style="color: blue">PaypalExpressCapture. Is there a provider entry missing, or is this a different problem? </span>
 
Instructions followed:

Paypal Standard doesn't need order pipeline provider since it sends the notification once payment is made. You might want to check our online help Configure Paypal Standard.
