title: magento statuses - pending, processing & credit card orders
body: <p>I have a question regarding Magento Order statuses and credit card payments.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Orders paid by cheque or money Order</strong>
  For Orders paid by cheque or money order, Magento starts status orders in "Pending", 
  then moves status to "Processing" when administrator Invoices order. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Orders paid by Credit card</strong> 
  For Orders paid by Credit Card, Credit Card Module starts orders in status "Processing"</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong>
  We want to extract orders via Magento API. To determine which orders to extract 
  we use the "sales_order.list" API method requesting only orders where status = "pending" 
  and then setting orders to status to "processing" via "sales_order.addComment" API method.</p>
  
  <p>With Credit Card process setting order status to "Processing", we are no longer able to 
  identify unprocessed orders, by status alone.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to add or re-purpose a status or add new status?</p>
  
  <p>example:</p>
  
  <p>Pending - order by cheque or money order</p>
  
  <p>PendingCC - Processed by Credit Card  </p>
  
  <p>Processing - only set by our API</p>
