Approval Workflow
Use `/dashboard/admin/stores` to process all pending store reviews.
Every decision should include a reason code and optional context for future audit response.
Decision Standards
Approve only when store profile, operational policies, and compliance posture are acceptable for go-live.
- Approve: store is ready for customer traffic
- Reject: deficiencies must be resolved before launch
- Suspend: urgent risk or policy violation after activation
Escalation Rules
Escalate unclear or high-risk decisions to the platform owner before changing store status.
