+  Register and implement B2C Commerce platform hooks declared in hooks.json and invoked by HookMgr during OCAPI/SCAPI requests or system events. Use for hooks.json, HookMgr.callHook(), dw.system.Status, dw.ocapi.shop.* before/after/modifyResponse hooks, dw.order.payment.authorize/authorizeCreditCard, dw.order.calculate, app.payment.processor.*, SCAPI order-payment authorization and placement, rollback semantics, and request.custom transport. Do not use for external Node.js webhooks, SFRA controller middleware or prepend/append chains, scheduled job steps in steptypes.json, or Git/CI hooks.

+
+# B2C Commerce Hooks
+
+Hooks are extension points that allow you to customize business logic by registering scripts. B2C Commerce supports two types of hooks:
+
+1. **OCAPI/SCAPI Hooks** - Extend API resources with before, after, and modifyResponse hooks
+2. **System Hooks** - Custom extension points for order calculation, payment, and other core functionality
+
+## Hook Types Overview
+
+| Type | Purpose | Examples |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| OCAPI/SCAPI | Extend API behavior | `dw.ocapi.shop.basket.afterPOST` |
+| System | Core business logic | `dw.order.calculate` |
+| Custom | Your own extension points | `app.checkout.validate` |
+
+## Hook Registration

+```
+
+### package.json
+
+Reference the hooks configuration file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my_cartridge",
+  "hooks": "./cartridge/scripts/hooks.json"
+}
+```
+
+### hooks.json
+
+Register hooks with their implementing scripts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": [
+    {
+      "name": "dw.ocapi.shop.basket.afterPOST",
+      "script": "./hooks/basket.js"
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "dw.ocapi.shop.basket.modifyPOSTResponse",
+      "script": "./hooks/basket.js"
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "dw.order.calculate",
+      "script": "./hooks/order.js"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Hook Script
+
+Export functions matching the hook method name (without package prefix):
+
+```javascript
+// hooks/basket.js
+var Status = require('dw/system/Status');
+
+exports.afterPOST = function(basket) {
+    // Called after basket creation
+    // Returning a value would skip system implementation
+};
+
+exports.modifyPOSTResponse = function(basket, basketResponse) {
+    // Modify the API response
+    basketResponse.c_customField = 'value';
+};
+```
+
+## HookMgr API
+
+Use `dw.system.HookMgr` to call hooks programmatically:
+
+```javascript
+var HookMgr = require('dw/system/HookMgr');
+
+// Check if hook exists
+if (HookMgr.hasHook('dw.order.calculate')) {
+    // Call the hook
+    var result = HookMgr.callHook('dw.order.calculate', 'calculate', basket);
+}
+```
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `hasHook(extensionPoint)` | Returns true if hook is registered or has default implementation |
+| `callHook(extensionPoint, functionName, args...)` | Calls the hook, returns result or undefined |
+
+## Status Object
+
+Hooks return `dw.system.Status` to indicate success or failure:
+
+```javascript
+var Status = require('dw/system/Status');
+
+// Success - continue processing
+return new Status(Status.OK);
+
+// Error - stop processing, rollback transaction
+var status = new Status(Status.ERROR);
+status.addDetail('error_code', 'INVALID_ADDRESS');
+status.addDetail('message', 'Address validation failed');
+return status;
+```
+
+| Status | HTTP Response | Behavior |
+|--------|---------------|----------|
+| `Status.OK` | Continues | Hook execution continues |
+| `Status.ERROR` | 400 Bad Request | Transaction rolled back, processing stops |
+| Uncaught exception | 500 Internal Error | Transaction rolled back |
+
+## Return Value Behavior (Important)
+
+**OCAPI/SCAPI hooks that return ANY value will SKIP the system implementation and all subsequent registered hooks for that extension point.**
+
+This is a common source of bugs. For example, if a hook returns `Status.OK`, the system's `dw.order.calculate` implementation won't run, causing cart totals to be incorrect.
+
+### When to Return a Value
+
+Return a `Status` object **only** when you want to:
+- **Stop processing** with an error (`Status.ERROR`)
+- **Skip the system implementation** intentionally
+
+### When NOT to Return a Value
+
+To ensure system implementations run (like cart calculation), **return nothing**:
+
+```javascript
+// Returning Status.OK skips system implementation
+exports.afterPOST = function(basket) {
+    doSomething(basket);
+    return new Status(Status.OK);  // Skips dw.order.calculate
+};
+
+// No return value - system implementation runs
+exports.afterPOST = function(basket) {
+    doSomething(basket);
+    // No return, or explicit: return;
+};
+```
+
+### Summary
+
+| Return Value | OCAPI/SCAPI Behavior | Custom Hook Behavior |
+|-------------|---------------------|---------------------|
+| `undefined` (no return) | System implementation runs, subsequent hooks run | All hooks run |
+| `Status.OK` | **Skips** system implementation and subsequent hooks | All hooks run |
+| `Status.ERROR` | Stops processing, returns error | All hooks run |
+
+**Debugging tip**: If cart totals are wrong or hooks aren't firing, check if an earlier hook is returning a value.
+
+## OCAPI/SCAPI Hooks
+
+OCAPI and SCAPI share the same hooks. Enable in Business Manager:
+**Administration > Global Preferences > Feature Switches > Enable Salesforce Commerce Cloud API hook execution**
+
+### Hook Types
+
+| Hook | When Called | Use Case |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| `before<METHOD>` | Before processing | Validation, access control |
+| `after<METHOD>` | After processing (in transaction) | Data modification, external calls |
+| `modify<METHOD>Response` | Before response sent | Add/modify response properties |
+
+### Common Hook Patterns
+
+```javascript
+// Validation in beforePUT
+exports.beforePUT = function(basket, addressDoc) {
+    if (!isValidAddress(addressDoc)) {
+        var status = new Status(Status.ERROR);
+        status.addDetail('validation_error', 'Invalid address');
+        return status;
+    }
+};
+
+// External call in afterPOST (within transaction)
+exports.afterPOST = function(basket, paymentDoc) {
+    var result = callPaymentService(paymentDoc);
+    request.custom.paymentResult = result; // Pass to modifyResponse
+    // Returning a Status would skip system implementation
+};
+
+// Modify response
+exports.modifyPOSTResponse = function(basket, basketResponse, paymentDoc) {
+    basketResponse.c_paymentStatus = request.custom.paymentResult.status;
+};
+```
+
+### Passing Data Between Hooks
+
+Use `request.custom` to pass data between hooks in the same request:
+
+```javascript
+// In afterPOST
+exports.afterPOST = function(basket, doc) {
+    request.custom.externalId = callExternalService();
+};
+
+// In modifyPOSTResponse
+exports.modifyPOSTResponse = function(basket, response, doc) {
+    response.c_externalId = request.custom.externalId;
+};
+```
+
+### Detect SCAPI vs OCAPI
+
+```javascript
+exports.afterPOST = function(basket) {
+    if (request.isSCAPI()) {
+        // SCAPI-specific logic
+    } else {
+        // OCAPI-specific logic
+    }
+};
+```
+
+## Headless Order Payment: Use the Order-PI Authorization Seam
+
+Lead with the documented Shopper Orders lifecycle. Do not authorize payment in
+`dw.ocapi.shop.order.afterPOST` by default:
+
+```text
+POST /orders
+  -> order persists in CREATED
+PATCH /orders/{orderNo}/payment-instruments/{paymentInstrumentId}
+  -> platform updates the order PI
+  -> dw.order.payment.authorizeCreditCard or dw.order.payment.authorize
+  -> order.payment_instrument.afterPATCH(..., successfullyAuthorized)
+  -> default afterPATCH places the order when authorized coverage >= order total
+```
+
+This separates order creation from the gateway call, preserves a durable order number for recovery,
+uses the same authorization extension points as the standard Commerce implementation and payment
+extensions, and lets the platform own final coverage-based placement.
+
+### Authorization Semantics
+
+The order-PI `PATCH` chooses the payment hook as follows:
+
+- Require the selected payment method to be active and applicable to the order. For
+  `CREDIT_CARD`, include `paymentCard` in the request.
+- Call `dw.order.payment.authorizeCreditCard` when the request includes `paymentCard` or the order PI
+  contains a credit-card type.
+- Otherwise call `dw.order.payment.authorize`.
+- For a saved payment method, pass the documented customer payment-instrument ID (called
+  `customer_payment_instrument_id` in the OCAPI documentation; generated SCAPI clients can expose a
+  camel-case property). Commerce resolves it from the order customer's payment instruments and
+  copies that PI for authorization; an unknown ID throws. Amount and card security code from the
+  request are still propagated to `authorizeCreditCard`.
+- Without a customer PI reference, the authorization input is populated from request data such as
+  `paymentCard` or bank-account information. Do not assume the `paymentDetails` argument is the same
+  object instance as the persistent PI already attached to `order`; resolve and validate the
+  persistent instrument when provider state was stored there.
+- Do not accept a client-supplied reusable payment token as an ownership substitute.
+- Set the payment transaction's processor, amount, type, and provider transaction identifiers in the
+  authorization implementation. Return `Status.OK` only for a successful authorization and
+  `Status.ERROR` otherwise.
+
+Register `dw.order.payment.authorizeCreditCard`, `dw.order.payment.authorize`, and the order-PI
+`beforePATCH`/`afterPATCH` hooks. In `beforePATCH`, validate the untrusted request against persistent
+order state before any gateway call: PI count, method, applicable processor, server-owned tender
+allocation, amount, ownership/token provenance, and integration state. A single-PI checkout can
+require the requested amount to equal the order total; validate each server-owned allocation for
+split tender.
+
+Use all four documented `afterPATCH` parameters. The platform reduces the payment authorization
+`Status` to `successfullyAuthorized`; preserve a richer processor outcome in `request.custom` only
+when the distinction is needed within this same request:
+
+```javascript
+var Status = require('dw/system/Status');
+
+exports.afterPATCH = function (order, paymentInstrument, newPaymentInstrument, successfullyAuthorized) {
+    if (!successfullyAuthorized) {
+        if (request.custom.deterministicPaymentDecline === true) {
+            return new Status(Status.ERROR, 'PAYMENT_DECLINED');
+        }
+        return; // Preserve indeterminate/review state for reconciliation.
+    }
+
+    var validation = validateAuthorizedInstrument(order, paymentInstrument);
+    if (validation) { return validation; }
+    // Return undefined so the default placement implementation still runs.
+};
+```
+
+`successfullyAuthorized === true` applies to the payment instrument just processed; it does not by
+itself prove that a multi-instrument order is fully covered. Let the default implementation place the
+still-`CREATED` order only when authorized payment coverage equals or exceeds the order total. The
+result changes the order to `NEW` and prepares it for export.
+
+### Storefront/BFF Outcome Handling
+
+Treat the returned order status as the authoritative placement result:
+
+- `NEW`: placement succeeded.
+- `CREATED`: the order was not placed. This can be expected while authorizing multiple instruments,
+  or it can represent decline/review/unknown state.
+- Deterministic authorization failure: call Shopper Orders
+  `POST /orders/{orderNo}/actions/fail?reopenBasket=true` with reason code
+  `payment_auth_failure` so Commerce persists the failed order and restores the basket.
+- Indeterminate gateway result: do not automatically retry or reopen the basket. Preserve the
+  `CREATED` order for reconciliation to avoid duplicate authorization.
+
+In this recommended flow, use the Shopper Orders fail action for the durable state transition rather
+than coordinating failure across the order POST hooks.
+
+### Alternative: Authorize and Place in `order.afterPOST`
+
+Use `dw.ocapi.shop.order.afterPOST` when a checkout deliberately needs one server-side phase that
+creates the order, authorizes every PI, and performs the Commerce-side place-or-fail transition in
+the order-creation transaction, or when a processor cannot participate in the order-PI authorization
+endpoints. This keeps the storefront orchestration simple. The external gateway side effect is not
+rolled back with the Commerce transaction, so balance that benefit against these tradeoffs:
+
+- The external payment call runs inside order creation's platform transaction and consumes the
+  order-POST timeout budget.
+- Returning `Status.ERROR` rolls back order creation, so the caller can lose both the order and the
+  original basket reference.
+- The implementation must manually authorize every PI, verify total coverage, call
+  `OrderMgr.placeOrder`/`failOrder`, and preserve any later platform or cartridge behavior.
+- Do not add `Transaction.wrap()` around `OrderMgr.placeOrder()` or `OrderMgr.failOrder()` inside
+  `afterPOST`; it already runs in a platform transaction.
+
+If choosing this option, see
+[Order Hook Lifecycle](references/ORDER-HOOK-LIFECYCLE.md) for transaction semantics and the
+two-hook variant that persists a failed order while returning an HTTP error.
+
+### `request.custom` for Inter-Hook Data Passing
+
+Use `request.custom` only as request-scoped transport between hook phases. Do not add persistent
+metadata solely to carry a richer outcome from `authorize*` to `afterPATCH` in the same request.
+
+## System Hooks
+
+### Calculate Hooks
+
+| Extension Point | Function | Purpose |
+|-----------------|----------|---------|
+| `dw.order.calculate` | `calculate` | Full basket/order calculation |
+| `dw.order.calculateShipping` | `calculateShipping` | Shipping calculation |
+| `dw.order.calculateTax` | `calculateTax` | Tax calculation |
+
+```javascript
+// hooks/calculate.js
+var Status = require('dw/system/Status');
+var HookMgr = require('dw/system/HookMgr');
+
+exports.calculate = function(lineItemCtnr) {
+    // Calculate shipping
+    HookMgr.callHook('dw.order.calculateShipping', 'calculateShipping', lineItemCtnr);
+
+    // Calculate promotions, totals...
+
+    // Calculate tax
+    HookMgr.callHook('dw.order.calculateTax', 'calculateTax', lineItemCtnr);
+
+    return new Status(Status.OK);
+};
+```
+
+### Payment Hooks
+
+| Extension Point | Function | Purpose |
+|-----------------|----------|---------|
+| `dw.order.payment.authorize` | `authorize` | Payment authorization |
+| `dw.order.payment.authorizeCreditCard` | `authorizeCreditCard` | Credit-card authorization invoked by order-PI POST/PATCH |
+| `dw.order.payment.capture` | `capture` | Capture authorized payment |
+| `dw.order.payment.refund` | `refund` | Refund payment |
+| `dw.order.payment.validateAuthorization` | `validateAuthorization` | Check authorization validity |
+| `dw.order.payment.reauthorize` | `reauthorize` | Re-authorize expired auth |
+
+### Order Hooks
+
+| Extension Point | Function | Purpose |
+|-----------------|----------|---------|
+| `dw.order.createOrderNo` | `createOrderNo` | Custom order number generation |
+
+```javascript
+var OrderMgr = require('dw/order/OrderMgr');
+var Site = require('dw/system/Site');
+
+exports.createOrderNo = function() {
+    var seqNo = OrderMgr.createOrderSequenceNo();
+    var prefix = Site.current.ID;
+    return prefix + '-' + seqNo;
+};
+```
+
+## Custom Hooks
+
+Create your own extension points:
+
+```javascript
+// Define custom hook
+var HookMgr = require('dw/system/HookMgr');
+
+function processCheckout(basket) {
+    // Call custom hook if registered
+    if (HookMgr.hasHook('app.checkout.validate')) {
+        var status = HookMgr.callHook('app.checkout.validate', 'validate', basket);
+        if (status && status.error) {
+            return status;
+        }
+    }
+    // Continue processing...
+}
+```
+
+Register in hooks.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": [
+    {
+      "name": "app.checkout.validate",
+      "script": "./hooks/checkout.js"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Custom hooks always execute all registered implementations regardless of return value.
+
+## Remote Includes in Hooks
+
+Enhance API responses with data from other SCAPI endpoints:
+
+```javascript
+var RESTResponseMgr = require('dw/system/RESTResponseMgr');
+
+exports.modifyGETResponse = function(product, doc) {
+    // Include Custom API response
+    var include = RESTResponseMgr.createScapiRemoteInclude(
+        'custom',           // API family
+        'my-api',           // API name
+        'v1',               // Version
+        'endpoint'          // Endpoint
+    );
+    doc.c_additionalData = { value: [include] };
+};
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Return `undefined` (no return) from OCAPI/SCAPI hooks to ensure system implementations run
+- Only return `Status.ERROR` when you need to stop processing
+- Returning `Status.OK` skips system implementation and subsequent hooks
+- Use `request.custom` to pass data between hooks
+- Check `request.isSCAPI()` when supporting both APIs
+- Keep hooks focused and performant
+- Use custom properties (`c_` prefix) in modifyResponse
+- Avoid transactions in calculate hooks (breaks SCAPI)
+- Avoid slow external calls in beforeGET (affects caching)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Circuit Breaker
+
+Too many hook errors triggers circuit breaker (HTTP 503):
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "Hook Circuit Breaker",
+  "type": "https://api.commercecloud.salesforce.com/.../hook-circuit-breaker",
+  "detail": "Failure rate above threshold of '50%'",
+  "extensionPointName": "dw.ocapi.shop.basket.afterPOST"
+}
+```
+
+### Timeout
+
+Hooks must complete within the SCAPI timeout (HTTP 504 on timeout).
