Hi all, Adjustments can be for shipping, promotion (usually a discount when some condition is met), and tax.
Shipping and promotion can be per item or once for the entire order. Per-item adjustments are associated with an item, so if the item is changed or removed, it's easy to update or remove corresponding adjustments. Given we need per-item adjustments, per-order adjustments should be as similar as possible, so I would argue should be adjustments and not items. If there are no products, there's no order and there should be no adjustments. I would only want to see a shipping product if my company is in the shipping business. If I'm in some other industry, my customers would never just order a shipping service from me. I do think we should treat adjustments in a more general way, rather than assuming that shipping, promotion and tax are all we'll ever encounter. So any adjustment would have an adjustment type, we can create new ones if the need ever arises, and we just communicate one collection of adjustments for each item and one for the order, rather than splitting out promotion and shipping.
